The new NXT got off to a fresh start with a fresh debut.
Bron Breakker (Bronson Rechsteiner, briefly known as Rex Steiner), made his debut on the show, interrupting LA Knight's opening promo. Knight was willing to give Bron the opportunity of a lifetime, facing him in the first match on NXT 2.0.
Breakker made an impressive debut, making relatively short work of LA Knight, who is scheduled to compete for the NXT Championship in the fatal four-way main event against Kyle O'Reilly, Tommaso Ciampa, and Pete Dunne.
Breakker picked up the victory with a gorilla press powerslam.
