Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis got married in the final segment of NXT 2.0. Beth Phoenix did the honors because Lumis choked out the marriage officiant. When it came time for anybody to object, majority of the attendees rose their hands, but put them back down once Lumis flashed his axe.

Scheduled for the 9/21 NXT 2.0 is KUSHIDA defending the Cruiserweight Championship against Roderick Strong. Strong’s Diamond Mine group added a new member and her name is ‘Ivy Nile’.

During the pre-wedding segment with Johnny Gargano, Odyssey Jones and Cameron Grimes, Austin Theory made his return to NXT and he brought United States Champion Damian Priest along as a guest.

Mandy Rose debuted a new look as she dyed her hair brown. She teamed with Gigi Dolin and Jacey Jane and they defeated Kayden Carter, Kacy Catanzaro and Sarray.

WWE trademarked the name ‘Lash Legend’ and that is now officially the name of Anriel Howard, who played basketball for Texas A&M and Mississippi State. She reported to the Performance Center in late 2020.

Hit Row’s B-FAB won her in-ring debut. She picked up a win over Katrina Cortez.

A vignette aired for a new character named Tony D’Angelo.
