Generation NXT - NXT recap for March 11, 2020

Note: Tonight's edition of NXT takes place in the WWE Performance Center.

Keith Lee retains the NXT North American Championship against Cameron Grimes. After the match, Keith Lee is attacked from behind with a nightstick by Damian Priest, who runs away when Dominik Dijakovic rushes into the ring. Afterwards, Dominik Dijakovic picks up the NXT North American Championship and checks on Lee, but Lee hits Dijakovic with the Fighting Spirit Bomb.



Mia Yim beats Dakota Kai to qualify for the NXT Women's Championship #1 Contender's Ladder Match after Raquel Gonzalez's distraction of the referee works against Dakota Kai. After the match, Raquel Gonzales attacks Mia Yim.



In footage from moments ago, Tommaso Ciampa - who is on his way to the arena - is not affected when told that Johnny Gargano has stated that he is going to do things his way tonight.

We see another vignette full of vultures, clocks, and TV screens showing static.

KUSHIDA beats Raul Mendoza by submission with a top rope Spanish Fly into the Hoverboard Lock.



In footage from earlier today, Tyler Breeze says the Performance Center built the first class, then Austin Theory shows up and says the Center can make mega-stars, and says that Breeze doesn't measure up. Breeze takes Theory's picture with his smartphone, then tells him he looks good for a flash in the pan.



Rhea Ripley shows up. Ripley says that her match with Charlotte Flair is the biggest of her career, and while she feels the pressure, "knocking The Queen on her royal ass" will get her through it. Suddenly, Charlotte shows up. Charlotte tells Rhea she has guts, but she will be too much, too fast and too soon for Rhea to handle, and she will take her to deep waters and drown her. Rhea charges at Charlotte as Charlotte gets in the ring, starting a brawl between the two women. The brawl ends with Charlotte putting Rhea in a Figure Four Leg Lock around the ring post before referees break it up. Charlotte then raises up the NXT Women's Championship before posing with a boot on top of a downed Rhea Ripley.



We hear from Finn Balor, who says that Walter's rise to power sounds familiar and that lies travel faster than truth.

In footage from moments ago, Mia Yim is nearly run over by a van, and two men in luchador masks grab Raul Mendoza and throw him into the van.



Tegan Nox beats Deonna Purrazzo to qualify for the NXT Women's Championship #1 Contender's Ladder Match.



Before the next match, Velveteen Dream stands on the balcony and addresses Adam Cole, saying he does not care about Roderick Strong or his family and that Strong is dumber than he looks. Cole tells Dream he has earned nothing and that he is the greatest NXT Champion he has ever been, and that he will have a celebration of his record-length reign next week. As Adam Cole decides to take out Velveteen Dream, The BroserWeights (Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne)show up.



The BroserWeights (Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne) retain the NXT Tag Team Championships against The Undisputed Era (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) after getting Adam Cole and Roderick Strong ejected and stopping Grizzled Young Veterans' (Zack Gibson and James Drake) interference attempt.



Next week: Adam Cole's NXT Championship celebration! Candice LeRae vs. Mercedes Martinez in a qualifier! Tomorrow: Finn Balor is live on NXT UK!

Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Ciampa tells Johnny Gargano that he promised to explain his recent actions, and as he calls him out, Gargano shows up on the video screen and says things will be done his way on his time. He says that the fans are wrong about Ciampa and that he has not forgotten what happened three years ago. Ciampa leaves the ring, finds Gargano backstage and attacks him. Gargano does his best to run away from Ciampa, but Ciampa catches up with him and easily overpowers him. Gargano decks a member of security, then continues chasing Gargano to the workout room. Gargano sprays something into Ciampa's eyes, then puts him through the glass window of a nearby door before beating up two members of security before beating up Ciampa. Gargano tries to attack Ciampa with a barbell weight, but Ciampa fights him off and destroys a mirror trying to throw two smaller ones at him. Their brawl then makes it into the crowd. There, Ciampa sends Gargano through a guardrail with a steel chair, then tries to put him through the announce table only to be shoved back. Gargano escapes, but Ciampa catches up with him. Gargano and Ciampa brawl on the balcony above the announce table, then Gargano rips off a piece of the guardrail. Both men brawl, then Ciampa boots Gargano in the head. Gargano locks in Garga-No Escape, then punches out a referee. Afterwards, Gargano superkicks Ciampa in the face, but when he grabs Ciampa by the face, Ciampa gets Gargano up and puts him through the table below with an Air Raid Crash.



Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!
