I'm kind of hoping they keep some aspects of 2.0's presentation while just toning down others. The paint and the bright lighting are too much but NXT toward the end there was looking really cheap and trashy. honestly the new logo is a lot slicker than the Black and Gold one at teh end. I’m just glad that the new logo doesn’t have a skull and wings. Hunter, you’ve done many good things for WWE’s developmental brand but that logo wasn’t one of them. Didn’t NXT’s rebrand come about because USA execs felt the previous version was too dark? I wonder how they feel about the show going back to its roots. Of course, we haven’t seen what the show will look like yet.

Close enough, Tonight’s NXT2.0 ends with Tomasso Ciampa waking up backstage. He’s like, “What the hell was that?” Enter Karrion Kross, “Hey Thompasso, your match is next!” Tomasso walks through the backstage area, seeing faces both new and familiar. “Was it all a dream?” He wonders aloud. He steps through the curtain and smiles, the camera spins around from the tight shot on his smiling face to an over the shoulder perspective and the old Black and Gold arena is re-revealed. One single tear rolls down his cheek. :::credits roll:::

I think there's a fine line between NXT 2.0 and Black and Gold, and unfortunately, while Black and Gold was too workrate heavy, the opposite could be said for 2.0 where it focused way too much on character work, no matter how bad it actually was. WWE needs to find a good balance.
Black and Gold was way too workrate heavy, with not enough focus on characters
NXT 2.0 was way too character heavy, including giving screentime to people who clearly weren't ready to be in the ring (Nikkita, Lash, Hank), over people who were ready to be in the ring, but needed to find themselves more (Sarray being the best example here).
I also feel the rebrand is WWE attempting to attract younger fans again, because one of the original intents of 2.0 was to attract a younger demographic, but the average viewing age actually got older.

Nice! Happy Goldust is getting one more WWE run! Oh... ____________ Seriously, I wonder how much money was just wasted on the marketing and design of NXT 2.0?

So are they going to swap back to the older belts or keep the rainbow ones? Because I kind of like the rainbow ones.

Good because in the long run it shouldn't even have been called 2.0. NXT 1.0 was the competition thing. NXT 1.5 was the Redemption "brand" NXT 2.0 was the start of the brand. NXT 2.5 was when they started with events like Arrival and the Takeovers. So this should have at least been NXT 3.0 if I'm not missing any steps. Vince wanted to call it NXT 6.9

If they take away all the fun they'll lose me as a viewer.
Interested to see what it actually ends up meaning though.

I had trouble watching the paint splatter version, due to having seizures. I can watch black and gold, again.
