Generation NXT - NXT recap for March 21, 2018

Tommaso Ciampa shows up to start tonight's show. He is immediately welcome by boos from the crowd. The crowd chants "You Suck!" before he goes down the ramp, and the boos continue as he heads to the ring. When he gets in the ring, the crowd chants "We Want Johnny!" and "Psycho Killer!" Gargano tries to speak on the microphone, but the boos start going again. The alternate "Johnny Wrestling" and "Psycho Killer" chants start again, and Gargano screams "HE'S GONE! GONE!" He says that Gargano is no longer walking down the aisle and that he is gone. Gargano tries to speak again, but the crowd boos him again before chanting "Ciampa sucks!" Some of the audience chant "No!" as he drops the microphone, then Ciampa slowly heads out of the ring. As he does, he surveys the crowd as they boo, then takes one of the Johnny Gargano signs, wipes his rear end with it, then tears it up. He also tears up a fan's large Johnny Gargano sign in front of said fan. As he continues to tear up signs, he notices that Johnny Gargano is in the crowd, and Gargano jumps the guardrail to attack Ciampa. Security moves quickly into place to detain Gargano as the crowd chants "Let them fight!" Gargano is quickly taken backstage and thrown out of the building by security.

Charly Caruso recaps the action that has taken place in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic so far.

In footage from last Friday, Charly Caruso interviews Tyler Bate. Tyler Bate says he has tweaked his knee and that the WWE medical team have asked him to stay out of action. As a result, Mustache Mountain (Tyler Bate and Trent Seven) are out of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

We see a video message from Roderick Strong. Now that Mustache Mountain (Tyler Bate and Trent Seven) is out of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, he asks General Manager William Regal to let him find a partner and take their place in the tournament. Roderick Strong's request has been granted, and his partner will be revealed in the next match.

We hear from The Undisputed Era in footage from earlier today. Adam Cole finds it ridiculous that Roderick Strong is in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, and Kyle O'Reilly says Strong does not belong there. Bobby Fish asks who would team up with Strong, as the winners of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic will fall to them. Adam Cole then mentions his match with Kassius Ohno, which he calls "a night off." Adam Cole is so confident he will beat Kassius Ohno that he asks Fish and O'Reilly to stay in the back.

Roderick Strong's partner is revealed to be Pete Dunne.

Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne beat Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch to advance to the next round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Ricochet is coming soon to NXT!

Ember Moon beats Aliyah. During the match, "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler shows up on commentary. After the match, Baszler and Ember Moon have a war of words.

Next week Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) vs. The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar)! SanitY (Eric Young and Alexander Wolfe) vs. Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne! Both matches are part of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic!

Raul Mendoza is ambushed from behind by Andrade "Cien" Almas before the next match begins. Zelina Vega is not far behind, and they both head to the ring. Almas asks Aleister Black if he thinks he is smart, then starts speaking in Spanish before calling him out and calling him a piece of crap. (For some reason, "crap" is bleeped out.) He keeps mentioning that Aleister Black disrespected him as he challenges him to a match next week.

We see a video package for Lars Sullivan. It is announced that he is returning next week.

General Manager William Regal says he is still finalizing the details, but next week, he will make an announcement that will change the landscape of NXT forever.

Adam Cole beats Kassius Ohno.
