Generation NXT - NXT recap for January 16, 2019

Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat The Metro Brothers (Chris and JC Metro). After the match, The Forgotten Sons (Jaxson Ryker, Steve Cutler, Wesley Blake) show up and attack Street Profits, and the numbers game catches up to Montez Ford as the crowd chants "We forgot you!" When Angelo Dawkins crawls into the ring to check on Montez Ford, The Forgotten Sons attack him, too.

In footage from earlier today, Cathy Kelley interviews "The King of Bros" Matt Riddle, who says he is not medically cleared and cannot be in Keith Lee's corner as Lee shows Kassius Ohno why he is limitless. He hopes that Kassius leaves some of Ohno left for him.

We hear from Aleister Black, who asks Tommaso Ciampa if he feels the days of NXT TakeOver: Phoenix at hand. He says everyone feels it like them, and that he will absolve Ciampa of his sins when he takes the NXT title back. He also proposes they start the fight a little early next week.

Bianca Belair shows up. She says that chaos tried to stop her rise, but when she sent Nikki Cross packing, she showed that nobody will stop her climb and that this is her year to win the NXT Women's Championship. She says she sees "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler thinking she is the baddest, then says she will take the Women's title because she is undefeated. Suddenly, Baszler shows up with Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir. Shayna says she doesn't see what makes Bianca the best, since she is the strongest and fastest, but not he smartest. She says that if Bianca had half a brain, she would know she would disarm her at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix. Bianca says all her arms are doing are holding up the Women's title, but Shayna says Bianca is like every opponent she has faced who won't put their money where their mouth is and fight her. She says that Bianca is scared that she will break her arms, silence the hype and change her vocabulary from "undefeated" to "overrated." Bianca and Shayna stare down as "overrated" and "undefeated" chants alternate, then Shayna says that Duke and Shafir are the least of her worries when Bianca slaps her. Duke and Shafir try to fight Bianca, but Bianca manages to duck and weave her way out of the ring.

Dominik Dijakovic beats Adrian Jauode.

We hear from War Raiders, who set an effigy of two steel chairs with The Undisputed Era's (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) logo on fire. They respect what they have done in NXT and the pieces of them that they have taken, but they say that empires crumble and fall as they celebrate their own victories over The Undisputed Era. They say that at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix, their era will end, and that is undisputed.

Johnny Gargano beats Humberto Carrillo.

We hear from Tommasso Ciampa, who says that Aleister Black loves referring to him as "the puppet master." He says that Aleister is "the ultimate puppet" and is gullible enough to believe that he will take the fight to him and win. He says that the champ fights on the biggest, grandest stage, and that they will wait until NXT TakeOver: Phoenix. He then tells Aleister to be careful what he wishes for.

Next week: Velveteen Dram! Ricochet and Johnny Gargano!

Kassius Ohno beats Keith Lee after shoving Lee into the referee before hitting Lee with a low blow. After the match, "The King of Bros" Matt Riddle rushes into the ring while two referees try to stop him, and Kassius Ohno runs away. Riddle then checks on Keith Lee.
