Generation NXT - NXT recap for July 15, 2020

Keith Lee shows up to start tonight's show. Lee says that he is at a crossroads, as the last few months have been a little difficult and he understands that more than anyone, but the ring he is standing in has something so incredible special and he stands in it as double champion. He says that he is not in disbelief or fooling himself, as he is stuck in reality and he knows that everyone wants the same opportunity that he has managed to earn. He understands that opportunity and chances created this, and that he did not do this on his own. Lee says that his trainer Tim Brooks believed in him when nobody else did, and that the fans made sure that when he came to NXT, they welcomed him with the most open arms and made him who he is now. He then says that one more person has been playing a pivotal part in this and that he has seen him backstage. That man is Dominik Dijakovic, whom he asks to come to the ring so they can talk. Dijakovic shows up and says that nobody on the planet is more proud of Lee than him, and Lee credits Dijakovic for propelling him into opportunity with their rivalry, as he is the one person to test his limits. Lee says that the best way to honor his championships is through competition, and after talking with General Manager William Regal, he feels that the first challenger should be Dijakovic. Dijakovic asks Lee when he wants to do this, and Lee says they should do it tonight. After Lee tells him "Just say yes," Dijakovic stops talking and just says "yes."

Damian Priest beats Cameron Grimes.

Timothy Thatcher teaches some prospects that for every submission, there is something to be learned. He teaches the Fujiwara Arm Bar that he recently put on Oney Lorcan, and that while a tap is educational, embarrassing your opponent is satisfaction.

Indi Hartwell beats Shotzi Blackheart after Robert Stone - in a walking boot - distracts the referee so that Aliyah can trip Shotzi off the top rope. During the match, it is reported that Robert Stone has suffered "ruptured leg ligaments."

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Tegan Nox, who says that she has traveled too far and done this for too long to lose, and that she wants to be a champion. She says that tonight is her night.

Legado Del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) meet in what looks like a mansion. They have a toast to their first victory together at The Great American Bash and the end of Drake Maverick, who "only has a job because he kept crying on YouTube." They also agree what they did to Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) is an example of what happens when someone mocks the lucha libre culture, which they call art as they are "the true lucha libre artists." Escobar says that to build their empire, they must sometimes tear things down to build them back up.

Keith Lee retains the NXT North American Championship and NXT Championship against Dominik Dijakovic. Both men show respect after the match, then the arena goes dark. Scarlett then appears on the stage with a black bag in her hand, and she walks down to the ring. She then places the contents - pieces of a broken hourglass - near the ring apron, then walks away.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Dominik Dijakovic, who says that Keith Lee is on a whole new level and that Karrion Kross cannot compete with him. Kross shows up and confronts Dijakovic for those words, then both men brawl. The brawl ends with Kross tossing Dijakovic over a barricade with a back body drop that lays Dijakovic out.

Timothy Thatcher beats Denzel Dejournette with a single leg crab, then locks it on again after the match. Oney Lorcan runs into the ring and attacks Thatcher.

In footage from earlier today, Robert Stone apologizes up and down to Killian Dain when Aliyah shows up with art from Dexter Lumis of last week's show. Killian grabs Stone and demands a match with Dexter Lumis to make up for what happened last week.

Next week: Killian Dain vs. Dexter Lumis! Karrion Kross vs. Dominik Dijakovic!

Io Shirai retains the NXT Women's Championship against Tegan Nox. After the match, Io Shirai is attacked from behind by Dakota Kai to end the show.
