NXT 2.0’s one-year anniversary show ended with the revelation that a new era is about to begin.

A video that was narrated by Shawn Michaels aired as last night’s NXT went off the air. Michaels said NXT has been and always will be about developing the superstars of tomorrow. Though they will always acknowledge the past, NXT is constantly evolving with a focus on the future. Michaels said wrestlers develop and move on, but NXT’s message to the fans will never change: “We are NXT.”

A new logo for NXT was then unveiled. The NXT 2.0 logo changed into one that more resembled the “Black and Gold” era of NXT. The new logo has a gold, white, and black color scheme — and the “2.0” branding has been dropped.

Before the reveal, a surprising title change took place in last night’s main event. Wes Lee won a fan vote to earn the right to challenge for Carmelo Hayes’ North American Championship, but Lee couldn’t compete after being attacked by Hayes and Trick Williams backstage. Solo Sikoa — who was recently called up to the WWE main roster — instead faced Hayes and defeated him to win the North American title.

Sikoa becoming North American Champion adds even more gold to The Bloodline. Roman Reigns and The Usos are also currently champions.
