Generation NXT - NXT recap for May 18, 2016

We find out that Austin Aries' tag team partner is "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura.

Austin Aries and "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura beat Blake and Murphy. After the match, Alexa Bliss turns her back on Blake and Murphy, and then Blake turns his back on Murphy, effectively ending them as a tag team and faction.



We see a video package of Asuka.



Bayley knows that Nia Jax loves to use her size to intimidate, but she says that's not going to happen. She admits that Nia Jax is tough, but she is beatable. After tonight, she will re-focus on becoming NXT Women's Champion once again.

Cathy Kelley interviews No Way Jose, who calls his style "Jose being Jose." He says his smile is why opponents underestimate him and that he has high energy. He says he's here in NXT to have a fiesta.

Carmella beats Peyton Royce by submission.



We see footage from last Saturday's house show in Portland, Oregon, which ended in a brawl between Finn Balor and Samoa Joe that involved most of the locker room. We then see a new contract signing as shown on Facebook Live, where it is revealed that Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe for the NXT Championship at TakeOver will take place in a steel cage, making the match the first-ever steel cage match in NXT history.



Alexa Bliss tells Blake and Murphy that it's about her now, and that it will be easier without them on their back. Murphy gives Blake a disapproving stare.

Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa beat Danny Burch and Rob Ryzin.

NXT General Manager William Regal congratulates the team of Enzo Amore and Bigg Cass and The Vaudevillains for their recent main roster success. He then announces that American Alpha (Jason Jordan and Chad Gable) will defend the NXT Tag Team Championships against The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) in a tag team title rematch at TakeOver.
