I just hope they keep the lighting from 2.0 and just ditch the 90s paint splash colors. NXT 1.0 looked like it was filmed in a warehouse in the bad part of town. 

Yeah, Black and Gold NXT looked like a fucking basement. Shit looked really low-rent. 

I hope they don't do away with actual characters. One of the biggest flaws on 1.0 is that most people were just "I wrestle good" and that's it.

The inclusion of white in the logo makes me optimistic that we're going to get the best of both worlds.

 

Huge bump for NXT

Looks like it's almost back to where it was during NXT 1.0, which on one hand is good news but on the other hand it took them a year plus to get back to where they were before. 

I mean, I think one year with a roster comprised essentially of rookies and people new to that audience is an impressive feat. I remember the outlook when 2.0 first started was much, much more pessimistic.

The spike in viewership was spurred entirely by an increase in 50+ viewers, which makes sense since it was an anniversary show and boomers love notalgia nostalgia. The show was down 6.3 percent from last week in the 18-49 category. Viewership in the demo is down 28.6 percent since the debut of the 2.0 format.

boomers love their toxic attraction

Logan Paul will appear on Smackdown tomorrow after teasing a program with Roman on his podcast this week.

Boomers is the wrong generation. You're thinking of Gen X. My generation.

SaudiMania main event?

Hope so, so I can skip it.

This might be just me living in my bubble but do people in Saudi Arabia know who Logan Paul is?

YouTube is pretty big in the Middle East, so probably. Comedian Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias has a whole bit on being surprised that the Saudis wanted him to do a show there, and when he asked how they came to know him it was from YouTube. 

What happened with Charlotte I wonder? They did that whole injury angle so she could take time off to get married, and Andade's been back for weeks now.

 

Please, don't let it be The Rock

It seems to be that Roman is gonna wrestle Logan Paul at Crown Jewel.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HE DODGED A BRAUN FEUD AND A KARRION KROSS FEUD? THAT DUDE IS THE GOAT

Press conference tomorrow to announce Roman v Logan Paul at the next blood money show.

Roman is not scheduled for SD tonight. 

Also with Meltz breaking this seems Hunter/ new regime is more willing to play ball with Dave than Vince was (at least in a long ass time)

Is the Logan Paul match a title match?

Hunter has been pretty friendly with Dave on all the NXT conference calls they did, not surprising he's not sticking with the Vince mindset on this. 

Reigns vs Logan Paul is going to be an Attitude era style, overbooked chaos that will make Backlash 2000 look sparse and I’m pretty much ready for that 

Logan Paul being a dickweed and getting humbled by Roman will be great.

That's the goddamn Bloodline motherfuckers

I guess Heyman got to raid Vince's suit collection when he left.
