Generation NXT - NXT recap for October 3, 2018

The show begins with Nikki Cross wanting to play a game with Bianca Belair again, hoping that Bianca isn't afraid as she did not behave last time. Nikki also claims "I know."

Lacey Evans beats Candice LeRae with The Women's Right after sullying Candice's husband Johnny Gargano's name, saying Candice is a loser just like her husband to rile her up.

We see a video package for the NXT North American Championship Triple Threat Match between Adam Cole, Pete Dunne and Ricochet for next week.

We see a vignette for The Forgotten Sons (Wesley Blake, Steve Cutler, Jaxson Ryker), who are coming up next.

We hear from Tommaso Ciampa, who says that when you are at the top, "they" will always try to chop you down by talking, speculating and lying in order to steal the spotlight for themselves. He says it is to hide their own tracks and their own guilt, and says Velveteen Dream's name is fitting as he is living in a dream world by thinking he attacked Aleister Black, but they both know what Aleister experienced. Ciampa warns The Dream to be careful, to keep his accusations and insinuations to himself and to stay out of his spotlight, for he is the one who ended the fairy tale and exposed the mystique, and he might turn the Dream into a nightmare.

The Forgotten Sons (Wesley Blake, Steve Cutler, Jaxson Ryker) beat Vinny Mixon, Cesar Rise and Torry Kirsh. Before the match, it is noted that Steve Cutler is wearing a face protector following The Forgotten Sons' recent match against Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford).
