Generation NXT - NXT recap for January 25, 2017

Ember Moon beats Liv Morgan. Both women show respect after the match.

Andrade "Cien" Almas says Roderick Strong should be worried because he will kick him in his face. Roddy shows up, saying he's not hard to find and dares him to do it right now. Almas walks away, but runs back and attacks him.

No Way Jose beats Kona Reeves. After the match, No Way Jose is about to be interviewed when "The Drifter" Elias Samson and plays his guitar. Jose isn't having any of this, and tells him that his song sucks and that he needs to drift away. Samson runs to the apron only to be punched off, and he backs off.

We see an interview from last week, where "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger says Eric Young never travels alone. He dares Young to bring the rest of SAnitY with him (Alexander Wulfe, Nikki Cross, and Big Damo, who is now renamed Killian Dain) to NXT TakeOver: San Antonio.

Eric Young beats Chris Atkins. After the match, Eric Young says "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger made his choice and that it was the wrong one. Killian Dain - formerly Big Damo - makes an example out of Atkins by hitting him with a running senton.

Earlier this week, Shane Thorne was forced to undergo surgery for a torn ACL and a lateral meniscus tear, and will be out for seven to nine months.

General Manager William Regal brings out Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Nikki Cross and Asuka. Peyton and Billie show up first, and say they run the NXT Women's Division and will prove it at NXT TakeOver: San Antonio. They've done damage to Asuka, and say Nikki Cross is simply crazy before proclaiming that one of them will win the NXT Women's Championship. Nikki Cross shows up, followed by Asuka. Asuka runs in and chases Billie and Peyton away before staring down with Nikki Cross, but Billie and Peyton rush into the ring and attack them. Asuka and Nikki Cross come out on top, then they stare down again. Security shows up, but Asuka and Nikki Cross both fight security off before Asuka nails Nikki with a roundhouse kick and fighting security again. Nikki Cross takes down Asuka - and all the security guys who try to drag Asuka out of the ring - with a high flying cross body from the top rope to end the show.
