From open to close, NXT’s WarGames was a show built entirely around the future.
This was NXT’s first Sunday night special since airing its traditional TakeOver event in August. It followed the NXT 2.0 blueprint of taking steps to develop its next collection of stars, particularly with Bron Breakker and Cora Jade.
Breakker led Team 2.0 to victory against Team Black and Gold in the men’s WarGames match, while the entire women’s WarGames match was built around Jade.
Breakker teamed with Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller, and Tony D’Angelo against NXT champion Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Pete Dunne, and LA Knight, and won the match by pinning Ciampa.
