Generation NXT - NXT recap for September 30, 2020

Shotzi Blackheart beats Dakota Kai with a schoolkid pin after Raquel Gonzalez trips Shotzi only to be attacked from behind by Rhea Ripley, who is quickly forced to the back by referees.

We hear from both Isaiah "Swerve" Scott and Santos Escobar. Swerve says he has had opportunities at the Cruiserweight Championship, but they were not always fair opportunites, and he is still the only person to have pinned Escobar in WWE. Swerve says he will come out on top on Sunday. Escobar tells Swerve he is a parasite he cannot get rid of, as Swerve continues to linger no matter what he does to him. Escobar promises their match Sunday will be fair, but Swerve is not convinced. Swerve mentions tricks that Escobar has used in the past, but Escobar says he is making excuses and that Swerve cannot deliver. Swerve says he has adapted to everything in the business and in life, and he is ready for what he tries to throw at him on Sunday. He says that while he proves he is ready for the world on Saturday, he will prove that Escobar is a fraud. Escobar says the difference between Swerve and himself is that Swerve has made it about himself and for that, he will fail. Meanwhile, he has built up the Cruiserweight division in his image with respect to the lucha culture, something he says Swerve does not respect, and says that he will bury Swerve with "a century of tradition" that Swerve calls "a bag of tricks."

We see another green-tinted vignette, this time of a person on a motorcycle followed by the numbers "10.04.20."

We see a video package of Kyle O'Reilly's road to NXT TakeOver 31.

It is announced that Tegan Nox has suffered a torn ACL following the attack on her from Candice LeRae from last week.

Backstage, Sarah Schrieber interviews Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano, who say that Tegan Nox was asking for it last week. Gargano says that destiny is on its way and on Sunday, destiny is here. Candice LeRae says that it starts tonight, and on Sunday, it will finish.

Before the next match, Cameron Grimes says he is not in the best mood after what happened last week, then issues a "Cameron Grimes Invitational Stepping Stones To The Moon" Match with hand-picked opponents. When Grimes brings out his first opponent, he beats him in seconds with the Cave-In, but when he brings out his next opponent, his opponent gets thrown to the stage by Ridge Holland, who proceeds to beat him up. Ridge Holland then enters the ring despite Cameron Grimes' pleas and proceeds to headbutt him, starting a match. The match ends when Ridge Holland refuses to listen to the referee as he proceeds to viciously stomp him near the ropes.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Austin Theory, who says that what happened last week should never have happened. He says that he should have been in the Gauntlet Eliminator Match, and that Kyle O'Reilly should be catching up to his level, especially when it has taken him 15 years to earn a shot at the NXT Championship.

We see a video package of KUSHIDA talking about his road to NXT, where he says that Velveteen Dream will be his stepping stone to the center of NXT, as the new him is more vicious.

Backstage, Cameron Grimes is not in the mood for an interview as he searches for General Manager William Regal. Suddenly, he runs into Dexter Lumis, whose mere presence is enough to freak him out.

Adam Cole in the ring. He says that for three years, The Undisputed Era (Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) has been a part of and a dominant force in NXT as they did what they said they would do while doing what they wanted when they wanted to and making it clear that anyone in their way paid for it. He says that since the prophecy ended, nobody takes them as seriously as they once did, but they are still the same Undisputed Era now as they were when they started. He then says that if Austin Theory wants to run his mouth about Kyle O'Reilly, then he came to the ring and say the same stuff about him to his face. Theory shows up, and Cole tells him to either get in the ring or the Undisputed Era can beat him where he stands. Theory gets in the ring, and this starts a match.

Adam Cole beats Austin Theory.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Damian Priest and Io Shirai.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels moderates a face-to-face meeting between Kyle O'Reilly and Finn Balor. Both men shake hands before taking a seat. Finn Balor congratulates Kyle O'Reilly on winning the Gauntlet Eliminator Match and respects everything he has done, and O'Reilly extends that respect to Finn Balor. HBK says that Finn Balor is "the best Finn Balor he has ever been," while Kyle O'Reilly is a "best kept secret." Finn Balor says he does not consider O'Reilly a secret, as O'Reilly has proven himself in NXT and all over the world. O'Reilly says that Finn Balor is good at stroking his own ego despite being a great fighting champion even in the face of defeat. Finn Balor asks O'Reilly if he will show up by himself. O'Reilly says he will show up by himself. O'Reilly then goes on to say that The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) have "washed each others' hands" and have seen success as a group, and that Sunday is about him and his moment. He goes on to admit that he is nothing like Adam Cole, and when Finn Balor says he will smack the freckles off his face, O'Reilly says this is the Balor he wanted to see. Finn Balor says there will be no room for jokes, and that Sunday could be life-altering for O'Reilly. O'Reilly tells Finn Balor that he is not the underdog, and that Finn Balor has not stepped in the ring with him or anyone like him. He then goes on to say that Finn Balor will hear the sound of his knees exploding when he shocks the world once again. Finn Balor tells O'Reilly that he has everything it takes to be NXT Champion, and that he would be if the title were not around his waist.

Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae beat Damian Priest and Io Shirai after Candice hits Priest with a low blow behind the referee's back while the referee is preoccupied with Shirai.

He then ponders if his injury transcended the metaphysical, then says that the real reason to shake hands is not because of respect, but because the business needs each other. He says there is always two names on the marquee, then says to imagine the shame of losing the TNT Championship in three weeks. He says that after that, he got a call from Hollywood and ended up on another show with other celebrities, and he asked himself who he was other than "the guy who got beat in three minutes." Cody says his feet are planted firmly on the ground, and while he was gone, so was his ear, and while he can say that he is the ace of the company, he cannot, as that honor belongs to AEW's current champions. Regarding Brodie Lee's challenge to a Dog Collar Match, he declines as Executive Vice President of All Elite Wrestling. He heads to the stage, then turns around, heads back to the ring, and says "No, as in no regrets; no, as in no looking back," then accepts for next week. Brodie Lee shows up and attacks Cody, and security and the locker room have to hold both men back.

Backstage, MJF and Wardlow enter The Inner Circle's dressing room, where MJF offers him a gift in the form of leather jackets for the entire Inner Circle.

When Guevara and Jericho ask MJF and Wardlow they are doing in their dressing room, MJF says they are congratulating him on his win tonight. Jericho asks MJF if he wants to join The Inner Circle just like he did a while back, and MJF asks Jericho if he wants him to join The Inner Circle. Jake Hager and Wardlow are about to square off when Jericho thanks MJF for the gifts, saying it is "a Jericho move." MJF congratulates Jericho on a thirty-year career, then he and Wardlow leave.

Eddie says they beat each other up well and that he is not feeling up to it, then asks referee Bryce Rensburg what caused him to ring the bell. Remsburg tells Eddie he was unresponsive and had to protect him from himself, which causes him and The Lucha Bros. to surround Remsburg. Suddenly, Moxley shows up with a barbed wire baseball bat, then The Butcher shows up from behind and Eddie tells Moxley before telling Remsburg to ring the bell.

Styles tells Hardy to savor this moment, as this is the last time he will hold the title. After Styles accuses Jeff of cheating once again, Styles then says that Zayn took six months off to grow a neckbeard before saying he beat him last week. Zayn says this is happening because Styles took part in a tournament to crown a "fradulent" champion. He also says that Jeff should have called him on the phone, denounced the championship and called him the true champion, but Jeff tells Sami to shut up and be grateful, as he has a chance to make the title legitimate.

After the break, Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns are in the ring. Jey Uso shows up immediately after Heyman starts speaking, and Roman tells Jey that while he would give the Universal Championship if he could, Jey would not know what to do with it. He says that Jey does not understand the accountability and responsibility of being a world champion and the weight and the pressure from being the face of WWE, as he has always depended on his brother. He says that while Jey is a tag team champion and has made the family proud, the family depends on him being "the tribal chief," which Jey will never be. Jey then asks Roman "What if you're wrong?" He says that Roman has always been on top, while Jey has always been confused for his brother Jimmy.

After the match, Eddie Kingston steps into the ring with a microphone and says it is him and Jon Moxley tonight for the AEW World Championship. He says that he is getting a title shot because he was never eliminated from the Casino Battle Royal, and because eighteen years say he deserves this shot. He goes on to say that he and Moxley were cut from the same cloth, but Jon Moxley sold out and went to WWE while he stayed with the fighters and soldiers and did not sell his soul to the devil. Kingston then calls out Moxley, and Moxley shows up to have an intense staredown with Kingston that referees and security have to break up.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Tony Schiavone interviews The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). Matt answers the door and admits that he and Nick were out of line and should have never put their hands on Alex Marvez or superkicked Mike Posey. He says that they will do better, and that The Young Bucks have lost title opportunities and relationships with friends they thought they would be friends with forever. When asked about FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), Matt asks for Schiavone's phone and smashes the screen of the phone against the wall, then tosses a few hundred dollars to Schiavone when he can't put it in his suit pocket.

Brodie Lee retains the AEW TNT Championship against Orange Cassidy. After the match, the lights go out, then "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up with black hair and a black suit.

He then grabs a black-and-purple dog collar on a chain, then says he will take Cody down and wrap the collar around his neck and leave him with nowhere to hide. He then gives Cody one week to answer his challenge.

Matt Hardy and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) show up. Matt Hardy talks about the attack on him from behind from last week, and says he has been thinking about who would do this, as he had a heated argument with MJF and a confrontation with Brodie Lee over the TNT Championship, not to mention a grudge with The Inner Circle. He says that his attacked may have been wearing a mask and that they may have used something like a pipe or a bat to hit him. He then mentions Chris Jericho and Jake Hager strolling in with Jericho holding a bat, and calls Jericho his prime suspect. He then says that Private Party tore the house down against Jericho and Hager and came close to beating them only because they used that same bat as a weapon. He then mentions Jericho putting Isiah Kassidy in the Walls of Jericho to add insult to injury, and says that regardless of what Jericho wants to be called, he will always be known as an asshole. Jericho shows up with Hager, Santana and Ortiz, then mentions what Matt did to Sammy Guevara, saying that he has no idea when Guevara will never show back up in AEW again only to reveal he lied and brings out Guevara. Jericho says the idea of him hitting Matt from behind is ridiculous, and says that if he wanted to take his leg out with a bat, he would do it in front of him so Matt would see the happiness in his eyes as he did. Jericho says he did not attack with the bat last week, but he will do it right now. Matt Hardy says he will fight the entire Inner Circle, but Marq Quen stops Matt, saying they need him and to take as much time as he needs to get better and get cleared, because he is cleared. Quen tells Jericho he laid him out last week after ambushing Kassidy, who then takes the microphone and says that while he appreicates Matt and Quen sticking up for him, this is on him. He says that Jericho may have beaten him last week, he almost beat him twice. Kassidy then challenges Jericho to a one-on-one match next week, and ponders what would happen if a 23-year-old from the streets of Brooklyn, New York not only beat Jericho, but makes him his bitch.

Tony Schiavone interviews Tully Blanchard and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in the ring. Tully Blanchard says that tag team matches will be twenty minutes long and that he and FTR will get to pick the opponents to give other tag teams a "twenty-minute brush with greatness." Tully then announces that next week, SoCal Uncensored ("The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) will get that brush with greatness, and if the match reaches the twenty-minute time limit, FTR will get a notch in the win column. As Harwood says that Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) had their shot and that they are just "glorified backyard wrestlers," Best Friends show up. Chuck Taylor says their match last week was a war, and Trent says that while he and Chuck are banged up, they might as well have their twenty-minute challenge now. Harwood brings out a referee, and this starts a match...almost. Wheeler then says that they cannot do this, as Best Friends are not at 100% and they are fighting champions, and gives Best Friends a few weeks to heal up. Chuck Taylor says that Proud 'n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) did not run from a fight like "a couple of weenies" unlike FTR, and says that if FTR do not want to fight, they will show how a hug is done before he and Trent do the trademark Best Friends hug.

Hikaru Shida and Thunder Rosa beat Ivelisse and Diamante.

Backstage, Dasha interviews Chris Jericho, who says he has respect for Isiah Kassidy for having the balls to take matters into his own hands, and while Kassidy will be a big star, it won't be next week, as he is facing the biggest star in him and the only shot that Kassidy will feel is from his fists. Suddenly, MJF shows up and says that the idea of Kassidy disrespecting Jericho is deplorable. Jericho says that means a lot to him coming from MJF, and MJF says that Jericho saying this means an awful lot to him. Both men tell each other that they are pretty great repeatedly before simultaneously asking each other why they called each other "losers." Jericho says he was calling Tony Schiavone a loser, not MJF, and both men have a laugh before telling each other "You're alright."

Next week: Chris Jericho vs. Isiah Kassidy! Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. returns! FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) vs. SoCal Uncensored ("The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian)!

We hear from Ethan Carter III, who tells Moose he knows what it is like to have the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. He says that it is times like these that we control our narratives. He says that through technology, it is time for everyone to band together and help Moose find the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and give any and all relevant information to Moose's cell phone at (407) 457-8494. (Author's note: The number doesn't go to anything other than a voicemail that hasn't even been set up yet. Don't even call it. Seriously.)

Backstage, Rosemary tells Taya Valkyrie that she was unconscious backstage when Taya asks here where she was during her match last week, and says that they must be on the same page if they want things to work. Rosemary says she will help with Taya's problems first, then Taya will help with hers. Taya proposes she helps Rosemary with her problems before Rosemary helps her out. As Taya says that John E.

Backstage, Brian Myers takes offense to being called a cheater in his last match against Willie Mack and flips a table, then Tommy Dreamer shows up to tell him to calm down, not be disrespectful and clean up the mess he made.

He then says he will clean it up, then warns Dreamer to walk the other direction the next time he sees him in the hallway.

When Jake checks on Cody, Eric Young gets back in the ring and attacks Jake again. Eric Young then hits Cousin Jake with a piledriver before grabbing a microphone and asking if Eddie Edwards, Rich Swann and Scott D'Amore are watching before saying that everything that happens from here on out is on them. Eric Young says that his hand was forced and that he gave Eddie and Swann the easy way out as he continues to attack The Deaners, then tells Scott D'Amore that it is his choice what happens from here on out. He then proceeds to taunt Cody before stomping on him and Cousin Jake, then proclaims it is his world and that everything is under his control and his design from now on. He then boots Cody out of the ring before going for an ankle lock on Jake. Security shows up, but Eric Young levels them before going for Cousin Jake's leg ankle again. Scott D'Amore shows up and tells Eric Young to let Jake go, and D'Amore has to get in the ring to break the hold and tell Eric to use his head. Eric Young forces Scott D'Amore into the corner then Eddie Edwards shows up and attacks Eric Young, forcing Eric to retreat.

Backstage, Eddie Edwards tells Scott D'Amore that he cannot let people walk over him, and demands a rematch so he can end Eric Young's reign of terror, saying he should be the one getting it and not Rich Swann.
