Generation NXT 2.0 - NXT 2.0 recap for September 14, 2021

We hear from Tommaso Ciampa, Pete Dunne, Kyle O'Reilly and LA Knight, who are now competing for the now-vacant NXT Championship later tonight. (Samoa Joe has vacated the NXT Championship due to injury as of Sunday, which is mentioned via WWE's social media channels but is not mentioned at all throughout the sho L.A. Knight then runs into Bron Breakker, who says that he wants to prove himself tonight. LA Knight tells Braun to head to the ring so he can beat the brakes off of him in two minutes.

Bronn Breakker beats LA Knight.

Backstage, the NXT locker room congratulates Bron Breakker on his win against LA Knight. (Bron Breakker is the son of Rick Steiner, and was almost named "Rex Steiner" until the last-second name change.)

Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel) beat Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen after Barthel distracts Jensen, allowing Aichner to hit an avalance double underhook suplex for the win.

We hear from Hit Row (Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, Top Dolla, B-Fab). Ashante says that if you've got it, flaunt it, and says B-Fab is new money while the "underchicks" are "just gimmick." Swerve says that tonight, B-Fab will have something to be big mad about. Top Dolla says that B-Fab is the baddest because she trained with the baddest, and B-Fab says that while she can spit, the time for talking is over.

B-Fab beats Katrina Cortez. After the match, B-Fab says that she proved the people who thought she could not wrestle wrong and that all of Hit Row can wrestle, and tells Elektra Lopez she put her nose in their business before Lopez shows up with the rest of Legado del Fantasma. Lopez says B-Fab did not learn her lesson the first time and that they can do it again, and this time, she will not need a pipe to shut "that yappy little mouth of [hers]." B-Fab says she looks forward to that to see how well Lopez works without tools, and tells her to get in the ring so they can do it now.

Odyssey Jones, Johnny Gargano and Cameron Grimes talk about tonight's Fatal 4-Way match for the NXT Championship. As Gargano says the match is missing something, there is a knock on the door. Austin Theory returns for the first time in weeks. Theory says he ran away but could not miss Indi Hartwell's wedding, and says he has brought a priest: Damian Priest. Gargano says Priest is not really a priest, and Priest says he is here for the party. Gargano and Theory then hug.

In the ring, Samantha Irvin interviews Carmelo Hayes, who is accompanied by Trick Williams. Hayes talks about his NXT Breakout Tournament win from three weeks ago and says he's got the juice now, but now he has a target on his back, and moving forward, he will not be caught off guard ever again. He says that when he looks around at the end of the day, NXT is a numbers game, and because of that, he called up Trick Williams, who says he is "'bout it 'bout it." Hayes says that as long as he has his title match contract, Trick Williams will have his back. Trick Williams says he is here because he has the gift of gab and the gift of jab, and tells Hayes he is proud of him, calling him "the golden child of NXT." He then says he has a bone to pick with him, and while Hayes has been known to talk the talk, walk the walk, and never miss a shot, the two of them have never been humble. Hayes says Trick is right and that there is no time to be humble, and that Trick is right, as he is the chosen one. Hayes that when he shoots, he won't miss, and if he passes, Trick Williams receives. Trick Williams says that is all it is and all it is going to be. As Hayes and Trick leave, Duke Hudson shows up for his match and says that he is lucky he did not face him in the NXT Breakout Tournament and that he knows it. Trick Williams gets angry and attacks Duke Hudson, and Carmelo Hayes joins in. The two of them end up double-teaming Duke Hudson and laying him out in the middle of the ring.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa says that anything can happen in the new NXT, but tonight, it is all about the NXT Championship, and after 908 days, he gets his redemption.

We see a vignette for Tony D'Angelo, who says that he is a businessman and that while his family was successful in life through many vocations, he found success in his own way amateur wrestling in the University of Buffalo. He then says his family smartened him up, and that while there is no money in amateur wrestling, the real money is in NXT.

After the match, Malcolm Biven states that The Creed Brothers will destroy anyone with two legs and that anyone who steps into the ring will be carried out, then introduces the fans to Ivy Nile, the newest member of Diamond Mine. Bivens says that Ivy Nile - who was a star of NBC's "Titan Games" is a very hard worker and an example of what Diamond Mine is all about, then KUSHIDA shows up and says Bivens talks too much before telling Roderick Strong "I'm ready."

The wedding of Indi Ophelia Hartwell and Dexter Gaylord Lumis takes place. Johnny Gargano gives Indi Hartwell away, then makes sure Hartwell is sure she wants to go with the wedding, then finds Ikemen Jiro is keeping the wedding rings safe. When it is asked whether anybody objects to the marriage, everyone raises their hands only to put them back down when Lumis produces a throwing axe out of his suit jacket. Indi and Dexter exchange vows, and when Dexter exchanges the vows, he just gives a thumbs up, and when the officiator asks Dexter if he has anything to say, Lumis sends him into unconsciousness in seconds. As everyone looks to General Manager William Regal to keep the proceedings going, Beth Phoenix shows up and reveals she got ordained as a minister through the Internet last night after feeling something like this would happen, and when Beth Phoenix asks if they should cut to the chase, Andre Chase asks if someone called his name. After Odyssey Jones makes Andre Chase sit down and shut up, Gargano helps with the exchange of the rings, then Indi and Dexter have their "I do's." Before the kiss, Lumis stops Beth Phoneix, Lumis speaks for the first time, saying "I do." Lumis and Indi kiss.
