First broadcast: March 1, 2022
NXT 2.0 will be opened by Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett welcoming us to tonight’s show. We immediately go to the ring, where Bron Breakker and Tommaso Ciampa are already entering. Ciampa has adapted his clothing to his partner. The two will be followed by today’s opponents, Dolph Ziggler and Rodert Roode. Breakker and Ciampa don’t seem to be going fast enough, however, as they charge towards the Dirty Dawgz on the ramp, where a brawl ensues. The two teams brawl towards the ring, where Ciampa following a dive initially stands triumphantly as the last one next to Breakker and above Ziggler and Roode. Then order returns to the ring and our first match of the evening can begin.

We see a video pack covering the encounter between Gunther and Solo Sikoa. The Austrian promises to break Sikoa’s winning streak.
LA Knight is now in the ring as announced, where he bitches regarding Grayson Waller. He now addresses the restraining order once morest him, which calls Waller into action. The Australian appears with his bodyguard Sanga on the gallery, from where Waller celebrates his victory over Knight from last week. This was also their last meeting, Waller is not interested in continuing their feud. Waller then wants to leave the hall, but Knight wants to show some more video material. There it can be seen that despite losing to Waller, LA Knight ended up triumphant over Waller and Sanga in the ring. And that, Knight says, is the image of each of their in-ring encounters. He would be the last to laugh. So he challenges Waller to prove he can stand last too: in a Last Man Standing match next week! Waller accepts the challenge and promises to go viral once more next week.
Backstage, Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta are getting ready for tonight’s match when Pirotta comments that Duke Hudson wished them the best of luck. The two seem a bit at odds on how to feel regarding Hudson, but Indi is certain following last week’s events, she and Dexter Lumis will find their way back together. Indi asks if Persia is ready, which she confirms and the two head out of the locker room. But before that, Pirotta returns to her locker to write one last message on her cell phone.
Toxic Attraction gather in the Toxic Lounge, which means it’s time for the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Solo Sikoa joins McKenzie Mitchell. He heard Gunther talk regarding respect, but for him respect is something that has to work both ways. Sikoa is ready for today’s fight and makes his way to the hall.
Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen are checking out some trucks on their phones and would definitely like to honk some of them. Elektra Lopez overhears these words and feels bothered, whereupon she confronts the two. While Briggs quickly understands where the problem lies, Jensen pelts Lopez with some facts regarding the car and lets her know that he’s not doing too well with women and that he is therefore focusing on cars for the time being. Lopez finds this amusing, because Jensen would never have a chance with women, which he confirms; he had never had anything to do with a real woman. Lopez leaves the area and Jensen feels like the winner of the conversation while Briggs can’t believe what Jensen just said.

McKenzie Mitchell now has Dolph Ziggler, who says he is the main challenger to the NXT Championship and wants his title match next week. Tommaso Ciampa comes in and explains the difference between “request” and “get”. In case Ziggler had any claims to make, he lost them following Ciampa pinned him today. NXT Champion Bron Breakker enters the picture, who makes it clear that Ziggler has no say in this house. Ziggler, on the other hand, feels he represents the final roadblock between Breakker and NXT: Stand and Deliver. He firmly believes he can defeat Breakker. And Ciampa, Ziggler continues, believes he can defeat Breakker. Ciampa now intervenes and makes it clear that he is not just thinking this, because he has already clearly defeated Breakker. Breakker has had enough and wants to spank both of them, which Ziggler accepts with amusement and wishes them luck.
Joe Gacy stands by Harland and morally prepares him for today’s match. Although Harland will get into the ring once morest Draco Anthony today, this is not the origin of the negative feelings that Harland feels.
Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta stand in the locker room and can’t believe how they lost. Pirotta apologizes for her mistakes, but Hartwell clarifies that the two are a team and share responsibility for both victories and defeats. Duke Hudson joins them and Pirotta hugs them tightly before they both leave the room together. Indi Hartwell stays behind and checks her phone, apparently eagerly awaiting a reply from Dexter Lumis…

NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams stand by McKenzie Mitchell. They respect Pete Dunne, who is a great performer, but when he entered the room, he took the top position. After his victory over Dunne today, the question is not who his next challenger is, but who is left.
Ivy Nile is training at the Diamond Mine Gym when Tatum Paxley arrives and wants some clarification following the events of the past week. She understands Niles’ actions because defeat is not an option. Nile replies that it’s not that easy. If Paxley is interested in joining Diamond Mine, she’ll have to learn the hard way.

In one of the aisles, some ladies are marveling at Sarray’s amulet, as Tiffany Stratton enters. She is not really enthusiastic regarding the thing that is so special for the Japanese woman and therefore offers her to wear one of her nicer pieces. But she politely declines the offer. Stratton doesn’t think this is nice and throws Sarray once morest the roller shutter in the background before being held back by the other ladies.
