The idea is to use WWE NXT 2.0 to bring in pro-wrestlers in their 20s, and prepare them for the main roster. This would allow the company to create Superstars who move to the main roster with a proper fan following.
As of now, it’s unknown exactly to what extent WWE is planning to make NXT 2.0 similar to The Attitude Era, but there will be similarities.
