NO make it hybrid the characters and personalities need to be kept with more serious storylines think about it they had a 20 woman battle royal with the top 6 woman in NXT not in it and everybody was still fairly known
“Somewhat” they not going back to prime Black & Gold because at that time they relied on the biggest Indie/NJPW/ROH/Impact names out there, well, most of those guys are already in WWE and AEW so there’s slim pickings, and somebody like an Okada is too big for NXT.
What I expect is something like a modernized 2013 NXT. Not much will change, I don’t even think that they’ll go back to black & gold but we’ll see.
