It’s Tuesday night and that means a brand new episode of WWE NXT 2.0 for September 21st, 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.

It’s our second week of NXT 2.0 and we have a new NXT Champion. In a trilling Fatal 4-Way last week, Tommaso Ciampa emerged with goldie at his side once again. WWE hasn’t announced it Ciampa will feature on tonight’s show but it seems likely he will have a follow-up with newcomer Brok Breakker. Or maybe a new challenger will step forward?

We do know that Kushida will defend the North American Championship against Roderick Strong tonight. Can Kushida retain or will the Diamond Mine prove too much for him? Last week saw the much anticipated wedding between Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis which, shockingly, went off without a hitch. We should see the happy couple tonight, perhaps on their honeymoon?

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!

NXT

NXT opens with a look back at last week’s reboot of the brand, which saw Tommaso Ciampa become NXT Champion.

We go live to the CWC and we have a bunch of wrestlers in the ring, including newcomer Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, and Odysey Jones. NXT Champion, Tommaso Ciampa comes out with goldie and stands in front of the new blood.

Ciampa says it took 908 days for him to get back the title he never lost. After all the hardships, the neck surgery, it was worth to stand in the ring with the title once again. Ciampa says it’s exciting to be here in NXT, things are changing, there are new faces. Things change but the passion doesn’t. He’s still NXT. Alicia is NXT. Wade Barrett, Beth Phoenix and Vic Joseph are still NXT. And the fans are the lifeblood of the brand. He’s happy to be back representing NXT and now it’s officially the A-show. Ciampa asks the fans to let the world know that we are NXT.

Cameron Grimes comes out and says he’s all fired-up. And Ciampa’s title is the rocket fuel he needs to get to the moon. Joe Gacy steps in and says, as charitable as it would be for Ciampa to grant an opportunity to Grimes… suddenly LA Knight’s music hits. Knight says he sees nothing but a lot of garbage in that ring and those fans should be chanting “you deserve it” at him. Odyssey Jones tells him to shut-up and says Knight lost twice in one night.

Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland make their way out next. Dunne tells the newcomers to make a name for themselves but all he sees is a bunch of geezers too scared to throw the first punch. Ciampa punches Dunne and a huge brawl breaks out in the ring with more joining from the locker room. Bron Breakker and Ciampa are the last two left standing in the ring after knocking Dunne and Holland out.

We jump backstage where Kay Lee Ray, Electra, B-Fab, and some girl I don’t recognise are screaming and brawling. Back to the ring and Ciampa and Breakker knock Dunne and Holland out of the ring for a second time. Ciampa holds up the title and Breakker tells the heels not to go too far because everyone wants to see this continue. He asks Dunne and Holland to grow a set and face them tonight.

As Diamond Mine are celebrating, Grayson Waller comes out. Waller says that he’s starting to realise that NXT 2.0 is a jungle, but if anyone was built to survive a jungle it’s him. So instead of waiting for an opportunity, he’s here to take one. He wants a title shot next week. Bivens says how dare he interrupt proceedings. Bivens talks to Strong and they agree to give Grayson a shot.

Tony D’Angelo is standing near the docks and he says his family has always had business dealings down there. His uncle always told him two things were important in life: business and family. But now he can add a third: his success in WWE.

Joe Gacy is sitting in the ring. He says this ring is a safe space. NXT is a place full of micro-aggressions and this is where they settle differences.

He believes we can achieve unity and tolerance for all and he is the man to show that they can do it in this safe space.

After the match Andre Chase runs in with a chair and swings it but Jones puts his hand up and the chair breaks. Chase hastily retreats and Jones poses. Grayson Waller is backstage and up walk Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams. Hayes reminds Waller that, even if he wins the Cruiserweight Championship next week, he might lose it next week as well. Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolan, and Jacy Jayne walk past wearing some revealing outfits and Hayes and Trick are floored.

*Commercial Break*

Toxic Attraction are in the ring. Mandy Rose says when she came to NXT 2.0 she came to be a gift to the fans. She realised the division was in desperate need of a woman like her. A woman the fans can’t be with but love to look at. She blames the fans for her getting hit in the face a few weeks ago. Rose realised the fans treated her the same way they treated Gigi and Jacy. They showed her that their is a beast in her, ready to be unleashed. She’s ready to take over the precious women’s division.

Gigi says the pain of her past has always fuelled her aggression. And she knew if she could bring that out of Mandy she would go to the top. It will lead them to the top of NXT 2.0. Jayne says Toxic Attraction isn’t just pretty faces, they’re not going to sit in the back and wait for opportunities. Toxic Attraction wants the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship’s, so they’re putting Io Shirai and Zoey Stark on notice.
