Along with the radical changes in the layout of the show, Mandy Rose showed off her new look on NXT 2.0. She ditched the blonde hair that has been a mainstay during her entire WWE career, going for a brand new brunette look.

This is a welcome change for Rose, who is drifting away from her previous identity. She teamed up with Gigi Dolin and Jacey Jane to win a six-woman tag team match against Kacy Catanzaro, Kayden Carter, and Sarray, showing extra aggression in the process.

It's been a solid start to life for Mandy Rose 2.0, as she further embeds herself in NXT.

The new era of NXT has been marked as a fresh start with many new Superstars making debuts. Some came on a little too strongly, especially Von Wagner's.

He was inserted into the NXT Championship fatal-four-way by simply running off Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland. Bron Breakker also had a noteworthy debut – more on him in a bit. NXT introduced various other acts, like Trick Williams and the team of Josh Briggs and Brooks Jenson.

These debuts could have been spaced out and allowed for a few more experienced Superstars to help balance the program.
