The relaunch of the Wednesday night show on USA Network in September proved more than a change in color scheme with new faces making their presence felt right out of the gate. The months since have seen a line the sand forming between the established stars and emerging talent. This all built up this new era\u2019s first big Peacock event <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NXT TakeOver: WarGames<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some fans may not know you can actually attend these shows for free by joining the <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/wwe.com\/nxtlive\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and filling out a questionnaire. (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to other TV shows with audiences, you are informed if you are chosen to be a part of the live studio audience.) For this writer, it was the perfect occasion to experience my first live NXT production since before COVID, with the main events taking place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. The WWE PC is transformed for shows like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WarGames<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with an intimate setup that takes fans close to the action.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1024597\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1024597\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1024597 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WWE-NXT-WarGames-760x570.jpg\" alt=\"WWE NXT WarGames\" width=\"760\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WWE-NXT-WarGames-760x570.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WWE-NXT-WarGames-385x289.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WWE-NXT-WarGames-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WWE-NXT-WarGames-570x428.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WWE-NXT-WarGames.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1024597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scott Fishman<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_WarGames\"><\/span><b>The WarGames <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The enthusiastic crowd was invested right from the start of the event, which kicked off with the women\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WarGames <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">match. Ring announcer Alicia Taylor did a good job hyping everyone up for the two-ring cage spectacle. The battle saw revitalized women\u2019s champ Mandy Rose lead her group Toxic Attraction and Dakota Kai against Raquel Gonz\u00e1lez\u2019s team of Io Shirai, Kay Lee Ray, Cora Jade. It was the skateboard-wielding Jade who scored the win for her team after a strong performance highlighted by a death-defying flip off the top of the cage. The 20-year-old scoring the win certainly confirmed NXT 2.0\u2019s dedication to developing young stars. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The men\u2019s WarGames saw a similar result as Bron Breakker\u2019s team with Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller and Tony D\u2019Angelo took down the old guard of Team Black and Gold\u2019s NXT champ Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Pete Dunne, and LA Knight. The veterans helped the younger names shine in different sports throughout the match. Hayes, the North American champion, was wisely chosen to start the cage match against Johnny Gargano. Breakker, the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner, continues to make new believers as a viable future WWE headliner. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1024599\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1024599\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1024599 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Johnny-Gargano-1014x570.jpg\" alt=\"Johnny Gargano\" width=\"1014\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Johnny-Gargano-1014x570.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Johnny-Gargano-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Johnny-Gargano-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Johnny-Gargano-1420x798.jpg 1420w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Johnny-Gargano-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Johnny-Gargano-570x320.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Johnny-Gargano.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1024599\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WWE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Johnny_TakeOver\"><\/span><b>Johnny TakeOver <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a lot of eyes, Johnny Gargano is the heart of NXT. Much like Kyle O\u2019Reilly, there has been some uncertainty regarding the future of the popular superstar in WWE. After a losing effort, he addressed the speculation to the audience. He teased us by saying he would tell us everything this Tuesday night. Despite a grueling WarGames, Gargano spent time interacting with fans ringside and posing for selfies after cameras stopped rolling. It\u2019s something \u201cJohnny Wrestling\u201d has done over the years as a way of demonstrating genuine <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciation for their support.

And these days, the Hall of Famer is passing on the knowledge to others through his role as coach, mentor, producer, creative consultant, and everything in between.

Now I\u2019m doing it about 23 hours a day, seven days a week,\u201d Michaels said reflecting on recent years. \u201cPeople out there thinking it\u2019s all Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard type of production. They just are the ones who gave us the direction of what it is they wanted from NXT going into the future. It is still all the team Hunter [Triple H] put in place doing it here. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI love learning and growing in the different aspects of WWE, but I have a greater appreciation for everything he took on. I now understand how you can not return a text when you get it. I\u2019ve never had so many emails, learning computer stuff. Things I swore I would never want to do. But have since learned to do that. It has been a blast.

He was thrilled at the effort when asked about what he thought about the show backstage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m just excited about this new launch of NXT,\u201d he said. \u201cI will say I think they get held to an unfair standard. Nobody likes change. I know that was very tough. I thought tonight was a fantastic show. I\u2019m so thankful for our veterans who go out there and deliver consistently like they always do. We have such faithful veterans that are out there and having to bring up an entirely new generation. We put a lot of our young guys in a really tough spot, we threw them in the deep end like we\u2019ve been doing the last 10 weeks. They went out there and looked like they belonged.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many of the talent on this <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TakeOver<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it was trial by fire. Michaels says Tony D\u2019Angelo for example had only around three matches prior to being in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WarGames <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">main event. Standout Breakker isn\u2019t that far behind with a little over a dozen. Coaches can do their best to prepare them, but the legendary performer says it\u2019s up to the new generation to step up. He thinks they did that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere has never been a generation that has been put in a position that these young men and women have,\u201d Michaels added. \u201cI was in the wrestling business 8 or 10 years before I had to go out there and do live TV. These guys have only been doing it for 10 weeks. That\u2019s an amazing credit to their hard work and credit to them. They also have the \u2018it factor\u2019 and are gifted men and women. The fact of them come to a sports background, they are goal-oriented, disciplined and focused..which has been a breath of fresh air. It\u2019s great energy to be around.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>WWE <\/b><b><i>NXT 2.0<\/i><\/b><b>, Tuesdays, 8\/7c, USA Network <\/b><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
