A new era of NXT began on September 14 and WWE's Tuesday night developmental show will be known as NXT 2.0 moving forward.

The first episode since the revamp featured several debuting Superstars with New Generation-esque names and Bron Breakker, Von Wagner, Trick Williams, Brooks Jensen, Tony D'Angelo and Ivy Nile all made their TV debuts on Tuesday.

Bron Breakker is Bronson Reichsteiner, the son of Rick Steiner, while Brooks Jensen is Ben Buchanan, the son of Bull Buchanan.

More NXT developmental talents have since received new names.

Former WNBA player Anriel Howard will now be known as Lash Legend. She signed with WWE in late December in the same Performance Center class as MSK and Ikemen Jiro.

New WWE talent Sean Tan has also been renamed Dante Chen. Tan joined WWE in July 2021 and he is a former Singapore Pro Wrestling Southeast Asia Champion.

Former D-Von Academy trainee Joshua Dawkins, who signed with WWE in August, will be called Malik Blade going forward.
