Generation NXT - NXT recap for December 27, 2017

Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat Kris Starr and Riley Apex. After the match, Montez Ford tells the crowd that in 2017, they came and saw, and in 2018, they will conquer. After namedropping the best in the tag team division, they announce they will be coming for the tag team titles. Angelo Dawkins then finishes by saying "We here."

Ember Moon retains the NXT Women's Championship against Sonya Deville. After the match, Kairi Sane shows up. She points her telescope at Ember Moon and looks at her through it before making it clear she wants the Women's title. Suddenly, Kairi Sane is choked out from behind with a sleeper hold by "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, and referees have to pull Baszler off Kairi Sane.

Paul Ellering says that in NXT history, The Authors of Pain have defined it, and became undefeated NXT Tag Team Champions and the winners of the Dusty Rhodes Classic. The Undisputed Era think they may have the pen of creativity, but The Authors will write the next chapter. He says that this is The Authors' house and that they are judge, jury and executioner, and that The Undisputed Era are on borrowed time.

Backstage, Christy St. Cloud interviews Ember Moon. She says she knew she would have a target on her chest, and she is not hard to find. If Shayna Baszler or Kairi Sane want to make a statement, all they have to do is step into the ring next time.

Next week: the 2017 Year in Review!
