WWE NXT 2.0 - Best and Worst - 'Next Brock Lesnar' debuts with new look, Upcoming title change confirmed?

NXT 2.0 continues to evolve in front of our eyes, with several interesting developments this week. The show has built towards a couple of big moments while showcasing some new stars.

We learned that Halloween Havoc would return after the success of last year's special, with the main event already set in stone. The WWE Draft has taken a few heavy hitters from NXT, although they can appear on the show for a few more weeks until Crown Jewel.

Speaking of the main roster, Beth Phoenix addressed the elephant in the room - Seth Rollins' actions from last week's episode of SmackDown. He went to her and Edge's house uninvited, with nobody there. The WWE Hall of Famer claimed that her husband would handle the situation.

Anyway, let's take a look at what happened on this week's episode of NXT. Here are the main positives and negatives from it. Let us know in the comments below if you disagree with them.

#3 Best/Worst: Is Bron Breakker about to become NXT Champion at Halloween Havoc?

We could see the quickest push in NXT history come to a head in three weeks, as Bron Breakker meets his date with destiny. The second-generation Superstar can gift himself the NXT Championship from Tommaso Ciampa at Halloween Havoc, two days after his 24th birthday.

Breakker will challenge for the title barely a month after debuting on NXT, having had an eye on it since Ciampa won it. All signs point towards him becoming Champion to truly cement the new version of the show. But should that happen?

Tommaso Ciampa's title reign has barely gotten going and he is yet to successfully defend "Goldie" this time around. He should ideally spend a few months as NXT Champion, while Bron Breakker is gradually built up. Instead, Rick Steiner's son is essentially being launched straight to the top.

One can only hope he cuts a promo about the probability of him winning the belt a week before the big match. Additionally, Halloween Havoc returning for the second straight year is a great idea, especially with NXT being stocked with a plethora of new characters.

#2 Best: An interesting way to debut Parker Boudreaux aka Harland

With so many Superstars making their NXT debuts through backstage vignettes and in-ring promos, it was refreshing to see Parker Boudreaux show up without saying a word. He simply stared down Joe Gacy from the crowd, sporting a different look from what fans know him for.

Now known as Harland, the 'Next Brock Lesnar' no longer looks like The Beast Incarnate. He is bald and will look to carve his path on NXT, starting with a program opposite the "politically correct" Superstar. This is a positive, simply for the intrigue over Harland's debut and how demonic he looks.

#2 Worst: Ember Moon continues to flounder on NXT

The show opened with Mandy Rose defeating Ember Moon in a solid match. While this was a good win for the leader of Toxic Attraction, it harmed the former NXT Women's Champion. Moon had teased a character change a while back but is yet to act on it.

She continues to lose matches without much consequence. While a heel turn would reverse her fortunes, will it ever arrive? For Ember Moon's sake, it needs to happen sooner rather than later.

#1 Best: Tony D'Angelo is a hit on NXT

With the last few weeks bearing witness, NXT 2.0 is all about the characters. Several Superstars have appeared in vignettes, but the one garnering the most attention may have been Tony D'Angelo.

Playing a stereotypical New York mobster, fans have come to appreciate his commitment to the character over the weeks. D'Angelo made his NXT in-ring debut this week and was pretty over with the crowd - a good sign for the future.

He was slick in the ring and defeated Malik Blade with an impressive fisherman's neck breaker. This was the perfect start for Tony D'Angelo, who is incredibly charismatic and has the fans completely on his side. The future looks bright.

#1 Worst: What is LA Knight still doing here?

As mentioned earlier, a few NXT Superstars were surprisingly not a part of the WWE Draft. The first name that comes to mind is LA Knight, who has all the attributes to be a complete smash hit on the main roster.

He has a great look and excels in promos, along with his solid in-ring skills. However, Knight remains on NXT for the time being. This week, he picked up a needless win over relative newcomer, Odyssey Jones.

It ended pretty poorly, as Andre Chase ran in to cost Jones the match. These distraction finishes are better left on RAW and SmackDown, while LA Knight would be better off on either of those brands.
