<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>WWE NXT Takeaways</strong></h2>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Tired Trope</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/HhR6EMN.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>Adam Cole is the longest-reigning NXT Champion, and almost all his matches have followed the same trope. The Undisputed Era interrupting and sliding him the win. However, it&#8217;s getting terribly boring at this point, despite the fact that matches are still pretty good. Dream vs Cole was a fantastic encounter with the same tired finish.</p>



<p>TUE has stayed in NXT for nearly three years now, and it is unclear whether they&#8217;ll ever move up to the main roster. It isn&#8217;t going to happen with no crowds in attendance, but NXT needs to change the way things are presented right now. Cole needs to be getting better victories without the help of his buddies.</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Magical Entrance</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/yg1m75E.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>Imagine having your debut entrance so good that you immediately come forward as a major star even before you hit the ring. WWE has played its cards perfectly with the whole Kross debut, and the execution was picture-perfect. With Bordeaux by his side, Kross looks like a total star in making, and the devil personality is just the right way to go.</p>



<p>Hopefully, WWE pushes him straight into the main-event scene rather than have him chalk a bunch of meaningless victories. They tend to do this quite often, especially on NXT, and Kross-Ciampa could be a fantastic feud, with Gargano-LeRae having some play in there as well.</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Rip It Apart</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/32jLywS.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>Rhea Ripley made her return to NXT programming in emphatic fashion and immediately inserted herself back into the NXT title feud. Io Shirai, Ripley and Charlotte Flair together is a fantastic matchup, with three aggressive personalities looking to destroy each other making for a great watch. </p>



<p>Flair and Shirai are both heels, while Ripley is the McIntyre-esque babyface, who doesn&#8217;t back down from challenges, which should make this a fun rivalry.</p>
