It’s Tuesday night and that means a brand new episode of WWE NXT for September 14th, and Ringside News has you covered with live play-by-play results coverage. Start time for NXT is at 8:00 PM EST. Match-by-match highlights and results from the show will take place on this very page. Feel free to leave any reactions in the comment section below.
Well here we are, the first episode of NXT 2.0. WWE is soft-rebooting NXT with a fresh new logo and colour scheme, and we’re even going to get a brand new Champion tonight. Unfortunately, Samoa Joe was forced to relinquish the NXT Championship before ever defending it, so now we’re getting a Fatal 4-Way between LA Knight, Kyle O’Reilly, Tommaso Ciampa, and Pete Dunne to crown the new Champion. Who do you want to see walk out with the gold? Let us know below!
Raquel Gonzalez Vs. Franky Monet was supposed to take place tonight but the bout was cancelled or delayed to a later date. However we do know B-Fab of Hit Row will make her in-ring debut tonight. And the only other confirmed segment we have for tonight’s show is the wedding between Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis. Last week we saw the bachelor and bachelorette party highlights and tonight the wedding itself. Will they actually tie the know? Time will tell.
And that’s the preview for tonight’s NXT. Our live coverage will begin from 8PM right here. Let us know if you’re excited about any of it and remember to hit the refresh link below and enjoy the show!

The first-ever episode of NXT 2.0 begins with a video package hyping the NXT Championship Fatal 4-Way, with promos from Ciampa, Dunne, Knight, and O’Reilly stating why they will become the new NXT Champion. During LA Knight’s promo he gets interrupted by a new face called Bron Breakker, who says he wants to make an impact. Knight tells him to come to the ring and he’ll beat the brakes off him.
We go live to the Capitol Wrestling Centre with a packed audience and a new, more spacious look.

Carmelo Hayes comes to the ring for an interview and he says he’s been riding a wave of momentum and he’s got the juice, but now he’s got a target on his back. It’s NXT 2.0 now and nobody’s going to catch him off-guard and he’s realised it’s a numbers game. So he called his friend Trick, and he’s going to be at his side 24/7. Trick says he’s here for two reasons; he was born with the gift of the gab and the gift of the jab, and that’s why his punchlines hit so hard. He says he’s proud of Carmelo, he’s the golden child of NXT, but he’s got a bone to pick with him now. Trick says Hayes has scored every shoot he ever took, so why’s he all humble now?
Trick offers a hand and Hayes shakes it saying he’s right. It’s hard to be so good and so humble. The contract he earned in the Breakout Tournament means he’s a already a Champion, he is the golden child. So if he decides to shoot, it’s a goal, and if he decides to pass it will go to Trick. They make to leave and Duke Hudson walks past, stopping to tell Hayes he got lucky in the tournament. Hudson shoves past them and Trick goes after him to hit a discus kick in the ring. Hayes and Trick stomp Hudson in the ring, then Hayes hits a springboard clothesline and they pose.
