Generation NXT - NXT recap for October 18, 2017

Ember Moon beats Sonya Deville and Ruby Riot in a Triple Threat Match to continue to the Fatal 4-Way Match for the vacant NXT Women's Championship after hitting Deville with an Eclipse as Deville has Ruby Riot in an ankle lock.

We see footage from earlier this week, where The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly) meets with Roderick Strong outside of the WWE Performance Center and Adam Cole places a shirt on Roderick Strong's shoulder. Strong places it back on Adam Cole's shoulder and walks away.

Christy St. Cloud interviews General Manager William Regal. Suddenly, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce show up. Billie Kay thinks she will be in the fourth qualifying match. Regal says she is, and announces that the fourth match is a battle royal for all the women who have yet to participate. Needless to say, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce are not happy about this.

Aleister Black beats Raul Mendoza. At the beginning of the match, The Velveteen Dream shows up, stands on the apron and puts on Aleister's vest in an attempt to get Aleister to acknowledge him. Aleister does nothing, and Mendoza takes advantage. Nevertheless, it is not enough for Mendoza. After the match, Aleister Black continues to refuse to acknowledge The Velveteen Dream.

Christy St. Cloud interviews Drew McIntyre. McIntyre says a lot has been going on ever since he became NXT Champion. He says that winning the NXT title has been a dream of his, and he has had to sacrifice to get this far. Drew admits it has not been easy, as his first run in WWE did not pan out like he thought it would. He calls it a hard pill to swallow, as he lost his dream job just after getting his and his girlfriend's first place. After that, the fire in him briefly went out, but he worked himself to the bone to claw his way to success. He eventually made his way back to WWE, came to NXT, and became champion four months later. Suddenly, Zelina Vega shows up and tells Christy St. Cloud she is taking over the interview from here. Zelina says she has noticed that Drew and Andrade "Cien" Almas have a lot in common, as Almas was in a slump, but she was his second chance. Zelina Vega says Drew McIntyre has a target on his back, and wants to know why he is ducking Almas. Drew tells Zelina to get with General Manager William Regal, but Zelina says Drew has pull. Drew then tells Zelina to tell Almas to meet with him personally concerning an NXT Championship match.
