Internally WWE is said to be disappointed w/ NXT 2.0 in its first 4 months. Source said they thought more fans would gravitate towards the newer stars quicker than they have. Could it just be too much, too fast? Either way I don’t expect any changes to the concept… just yet.

My Take:

  • I am not saying that NXT 2.0 is bad but I am definitely missing the old black and gold version.
