Aftermath
Tyler Bate opened the following episode of NXT to talk about his loss to Bron Breakker, only to be interrupted by Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, and Wolfgang). They attacked Bate and also took out security guards. Breakker made the save, and a tag team match pitting Breakker and Bate against Joe and Mark was scheduled for that episode's main event, where Breakker and Bate won. Afterwards, they were attacked by JD McDonagh, who wanted another shot at the NXT Championship[11] after losing to Breakker at Heatwave.[8] This set up a match between Bate and McDonagh to determine the number one contender for the title on the September 20 episode where McDonagh was victorious.[12]
On the September 13 episode of NXT, The Creed Brothers (Brutus Creed and Julius Creed) took on Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson and Elton Prince) in a Steel Cage match for the NXT Tag Team Championship. Pretty Deadly retained after Damon Kemp handcuffed Julius to the top of the cage, leaving Brutus to fight Pretty Deadly alone.[13] The Creed Brothers would continue their feud with Kemp over the next few weeks and on the October 4 episode, an ambulance match between Julius and Kemp was scheduled for Halloween Havoc, with the added stipulation that Brutus must leave NXT should Julius lose.[14]
For costing them the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship, Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne) faced Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H. on the following episode of NXT in a losing effort.[11]
For costing him the NXT North American Championship, Trick Williams took on Ricochet on the following episode of NXT in a losing effort.[11]
On the September 20 episode of NXT, a Pub Rules match pitting Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen against Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) was scheduled for the following week,[12] where Briggs and Jensen won. Following the match, Mark, Joe Coffey, and Wolfgang attacked security guards and a referee before they were arrested as NXT ended.[15] Afterwards, it was announced that Gallus were suspended indefinitely.[16] Gallus made their return at NXT: New Year's Evil on January 10, 2023, where they won a gauntlet match to become the number one contenders for the NXT Tag Team Championship. They replaced Gallus in the match, setting up another match between the two teams for the following week,[17] where Gallus was victorious, ending the feud.[18]
The 2022 Worlds Collide would be NXT's last major event in which the brand was referred to as "NXT 2.0". At the end of the September 13 episode of NXT, a video package aired that summarized the past year of NXT's "2.0 era" and was narrated by Shawn Michaels. He talked about the brand consistently evolving with a focus on the future. Afterwards, a new gold-and-white logo was introduced, with the "NXT" logo remaining unchanged but the "2.0" moniker dropped.[13][19]
The NXT UK Heritage Cup was the only title between NXT and NXT UK that was not defended at the event. The title's status remained unknown until April 2023 when reigning champion Noam Dar appeared on the April 4, 2023, episode of NXT with the Heritage Cup.[20] It was subsequently transferred to NXT and renamed to NXT Heritage Cup.[21]
