Generation NXT 2.0 - NXT 2.0 recap for November 30, 2021

The show starts with Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rosa, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne) and Dakota Kai having a staredown with Cora Jade, Io Shirai, Kay Lee Ray and Raquel Gonzalez before both sides brawl. Multiple referees show up to try to restore order. This leads to a match between Dakota Kai and Kay Lee Ray.

Kay Lee Ray beats Dakota Kai in a ladder match to earn the advantage in the women's WarGames Match.



On Twitter, Andre Chase says that Cameron Grimes embarrassed him in front of his own students, and that Grimes will catch a Chase University-sized ass kicking.

In the locker room, Ikemen Jiro walks in on Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) trying to break into a locker. KUSHIDA joins them, and everybody starts to shush each other until Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen arrive. At this point, Grizzled Young Veterans run away.

After the match, Duke Hudson congratulates Cameron Grimes on has last victory with a full head of hear, then puts a simulated picture of Grimes with various haircuts on the TitanTron before showing a picture of a completely bald and clean-shaven Grimes. Duke Hudson says he will shave Grimes as bald as he was the day he was born and that he will give Grimes a real reason to cry on Sunday. Cameron Grimes gets Andre Chase back into the ring and finds an electric razor. When a Chase University student saves Chase, Grimes tells Duke Hudson he will shave him bald at WarGames.



It is announced that Johnny Gargano will be in the men's WarGames Advantage match.

We hear from Edris Enofe, who says that doubters have put him in a box and tried to make him into something else as they tried to make him fail. He talks about his career in the United Staets Navy before the doubters got in his ears again. He says that his opponent tonight, Solo Sikoa, fought in the streets to survive, and that he will fight tonight to prove he is the pinnacle of excellence.



Alicia Taylor intervews Tony D'Angelo, Trick Williams, Carmelo Anthony, Bron Breakker, and Grayson Waller. Carmelo says that Gargano has been in NXT for five years, and tells him to "pass the plate" after he beats him tonight. Grayson Waller says they are not here to compete, not to carry someone's bags. He says that it burns LA Knight up that there is someone younger and more attractive than him. Bron Breakker says that Tommaso Ciampa has told him that he does not have the experience that he has, and says that if Ciampa wants to overlook them, that is fine, because they are coming to win and he is coming for the NXT Championship. Tony D'Angelo says the old guard of NXT have paved the road they are on right now, then says the road has potholes that they will fill with the old guards' heads. He tells the old guard to bring their best, as they will need it. It is then announced that Bron Breakker will face Johnny Gargano in the men's WarGames Advantage Match. Suddenly, Johnny Gargano shows up and says if it were not for guys like him, the new blood would not have a ring to stand in. He says that they have an opportunity tonight, starting with "The Big Bad Booty Nephew" Bron Breakker. Gargano says he is all by himself as the crowd chants "Booty Nephew," and tells Breakker to prove he is a man and leave his teammates in the back during their match. Breakker tells Gargano he will gladly kick his ass.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza, Elektra Lopez). Joaquin Wilde says they have beaten tonight's opponents once and they will do it again. Escobar tells them to write their next chapter, and Elektra Lopez says they will be draped in gold.

After dealing with a GPS with an attitude, MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) make it to their shaman's house. When they enter, they finally meet the shaman.



Kyle O'Reilly and Von Wagner beat Legado del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza) after Joaquin Wilde's attempt to distract the ref and hit a double-team move behind the referee's back by hitting Von Wagner backfires when Von Wagner stops Raul Mendoza cold. During the match, Xyon Quinn shows up, and he soon brawls with Santos Escobar. The brawl soon makes its way backstage past the barricade.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel). They are interrupted by Kyle O'Reilly and Von Wagner, who tells Imperium that they will see them at WarGames.



Joe Gacy's All-Inclusive Invitational is next!

We hear from Tiffany Stratton, who says that her father has always called her a princess and that a princess should always have the hottest cars, stores and clothes, and that a price tag is a bunch of numbers. She says her father has told her she can be anything she wants, and she has become an NXT Superstar.



Joe Gacy and Harland are in the ring. Gacy believes the reign of Roderick Strong as Cruiserweight Champion has created a toxic and unrealistic environment for NXT and all its competitor, and in his world, this division will not be defined by height, weight or gender. He says he has invited three random competitors (who are independent wrestlers Vinny Pacifico, Tesha Price, and Miguel [also known as M.I.G.]) into the ring to give it their best before he bests Roderick Strong, then tells the fans to sit back, relax and take a glimpse at their future. After Joe Gacy beats his first opponent, he faces a female wrestler in an intergender match, but Diamond Mine soon shows up. Malcolm Bivens says that Joe Gacy did not need to create this spectacle, then says everyone is witnessing history because this is the first and last Joe Gacy All-Inclusive Invitational once Diamond Mine shuts him up for good. Gacy tells Bivens there is no need for his aggression, and says that while he admires his passion, he asks Bivens to leave everyone else outside as he speaks to Roderick Strong in person. Bivens tells Gacy he messed up, and when Gacy asks Strong if he always lets Bivens speak for him, Strong says he is done talking. Strong and Gacy brawl, but Gacy comes out on top.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Solo Sikoa, who says this is not the military or the streets in response to Edris Enofe. Suddenly, Boa shows up in pain and speaks to him in Chinese, but Sikoa tells Boa he does not understand him and that he is on his own.

Solo Sikoa beats Edris Enofe. During the match, Robert Stone is seen watching the match from the ramp. After the match, Boa - now wearing facepaint and in an aggressive mood - attacks Sikoa. Edris Enofe fights Boa and also gets grabbed by the throat, but Sikoa fights Boa off. Sikoa then helps Enofe up.



Backstage, Indi Hartwell gets a phone call from Dr. Sullivan, who says that Dexter Lumis has left the hospital and is gone. Indi does not know what to think as Persia Pirotta tells them that their match is next.

Outside of the arena, Xyon Quinn says his fight with Santos Escobar has only just begun. Suddenly, he runs into Elektra Lopez, who says that while she admires someone who marches to the beat of her own drum, she wishes he did not mess with Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza, Elektra Lopez). She wishes Quinn luck in his match next week, saying he will need it.

Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta beat Yulisa Leon and Valentina Feroz despite Indi's downtrodden mood from Dexter Lumis' sudden disappearance.



We hear from Draco Anthony, who says that NXT is full of Superstars who back it up and that he will show, not say, what he is going to do, and that his actions will speak louder than words.



Bron Breakker beats Johnny Gargano in a ladder match to earn his team the advantage in the men's WarGames Match. After the match, members of both teams in the men's WarGames Match run into the ring and brawl to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 29, 2021

Seth Rollins heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He says that after last week, the fans may have expected him to be in a bad mood, but he is "Seth Freakin' Rollins" and nobody can keep him down. Rollins says he is in a very good mood because he has a secret: at Day 1, he will face Big E for the WWE Championship. Rollins says that this will be the first day of a new year, a new year and his next championship reign, which he says will define the future of Raw and the WWE. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up and brawls with Rollins, knocking him into the timekeeper's area and throwing him over the announce table before sending him back into the ring, where Rollins strikes back just before referees show up. Finn Balor fights back and hits Rollins with the ring steps before both men get in the ring for their match.

Seth Rollins beats Finn Balor after a thumb to the eye.



Backstage, Vince McMahon meets with Austin Theory, and has him stay in the office to watch the entire show and see if anyone expects the unexpected, and if that occurs, they will see how they respond. He also tells Austin that if he steals from him again, he will kill him.

Becky Rollins heads to the ring. After the commercial break, she is in the ring with WWE official Sonya Deville, who officiates the contract signing for her WWE Raw Women's Championship Match at Day 1 against her opponent Liv Morgan, who is then introduced into the ring. Becky tells Liv Morgan that she wanted to get her angry to see if she had that fire and that chip on her shoulder, and admits she has "a hell of a right." She then says Liv held herself back like she always does, and says it takes more than that to beat her. She asks if Liv will do the same thing when she is in their match, and after stating she has already signed the contract and has nothing to prove, Sonya announces their match will be next week on Raw. Becky says that the fans are not ready for the big title match, then mocks the New York Islanders before Liv Morgan tells her to shut up for once, signs the contract, then says she channeled her energy into her fists instead of being a big, blubbering mess. She mentions Becky Lynch crying about her Survivor Series Charlotte Flair, and even shows the footage from last week before making fun of her for crying and stating that she is nothing but a bully and everything she once despised. Liv says that her friends are gone because of Becky's big money contract, then says she will not be Becky's "number two" and that she learned from all of her mistakes. She then says that if the first punch didn't teach Becky anything, the next will. Becky says Liv knows nothing about big emotions after a big match, and Liv laughs as Becky says she has proposed a ten-woman tag match for tonight. Liv says Becky is too selfish to be a real leader, and tells her to consider her challenge accepted.



Backstage, Matt Riddle meets with Randy Orton, having expected him to dress up like him after what happened last week. After a Freaky Friday reference and a recap of last week, Orton dismisses that notion and says they must be more ruthless than ever before and "ten steps ahead of the competition." Riddle then places a blond wig on Orton's head, and after Orton sees it, he tells him he has two seconds to take it off. Riddle removes it at one, then they head to the ring.

RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Matt Riddle) retain the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships against Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode.



Backstage, Seth Rollins is met by Kevin Owens, who tells him that he also has some big news. He says that according to WWE official Adam Pearce, if he beats Big E tonight, he will be added to the WWE Championship match at Day 1. Rollins laughs thinking this is a joke, but Owens says this is no joke and tells him to talk to Pearce if he does not believe him. Rollins says he will talk to Pearce, but he does not believe Owens because Owens is a liar.

Backstage, Seth Rollins meets with WWE official Adam Pearce, and finds out that Kevin Owens is lying about getting a shot to enter the WWE Championship match at Day 1. When Rollins leaves, WWE official Sonya Deville shows up, and when Pearce tells her about his conversation with Rollins, Sonya says "That's not a bad idea."

Edge heads to the ring for the first time in a month. Edge talks about his Hell In A Cell Match against Seth Rollins, and says that Rollins deserves a shot at the WWE Championship after competing on a different level before saying he has a new set of opponents to sink his teeth into. As Edge says the future is wide open, The Miz, much like Edge, returns for the first time in a month after being off programming to take part in Dancing With The Stars, and this time, he has Maryse with him. After a Dancing With The Stars video package, Miz says Edge has been waiting for an opportunity while he has been representing WWE during his time off, and yet Edge gets the big return package and he does not. Miz then says that what really ticks him off is that Edge has not mentioned him, but Edge says he thought Miz was busy paiting himself like a genie and dancing. Maryse says Miz has been busy entertaining, but Edge mentions that Miz placed ninth in the competition. Miz chalks it up to his fanbase not voting for him, then says he was dancing with stars while Edge was dancing with injuries. Edge tells Miz he could have went to WWE officials Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville, but he did not, and thinks that Miz's agenda is to antagonize him to get into the main event picture. Edge says he could get take the easy way out and get the crowd to chant "Miz sucks" on the count of three - which he ends up doing anyway - but he won't. Miz says he deserves more respect, saying he held the WWE Championship six months ago and that Edge was in the opening bout while he main evented with John Cena, and while Edge has a big career, he has surpassed it. Miz says Edge should have went home for good, and while Edge admits that he has had to struggle to come back from retirement, is dancing with a body that may not allow him to wrestle for much longer, people still want to face him and he and the competition have mutual respect for each other. He says that this mutual respect is something that Miz will never understand, as he keeps moaning and complaining and that Miz just wants a pat on the back, and gives Miz credit where credit is due, saying he made it higher than anyone else but Miz himself thought he could. He says that Miz willed that into existence, and says that while he fought with every fiber being to get this small window of time where he can still wrestle back, Miz just used the opportunity to get notoriety for his next endeavor while other people talk about him in other companies and Miz leaves his tag team partner high and dry to get fired (a reference to John Morrison's recent WWE release), and says that while Miz demands respect, he has earned it. Miz takes his shades off, and Edge dares Miz to fight him. Miz teases doing just that, but he just says "no" and leaves with Maryse.



Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Omos. AJ Styles puts his sunglasses on and pretends to be blind as he says The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) sprayed him with a fire extinguisher because they could not beat him and Omos. He then says The Street Profits blinded him and he may not be able to see again. Styles says they gave him the smoke right in his eyes, but that is okay, for where there is smoke, there is fire, and The Street Profits will get burned.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Omos guest on commentary for the next match.



The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) despite "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles running at Montez Ford while Ford is on the top rope, which causes Ford to boot Styles away before hitting the top rope frog splash on Chad Gable for the win.

The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) plug the Cyber Monday deals on WWEShop.com.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for November 26, 2021

Kayla Braxton is in the ring to start tonight's show. She welcomes everyone to the show, and she is about to address Brock Lesnar's suspension when Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman show up. Heyman asks if rumors about Brock Lesnar is the best she has, saying that he and Roman do not do rumors on the island of relevancy and that Kayla just wants to put the spotlight on herself. He tells Kayla to dig through sources and come with a confirmation or denial, and to come with facts in Roman's presence and that she lives through an Instagram filter before telling her to leave the ring. Kayla leaves. This leads to the crowd chanting "We want Brock," and Roman tells Heyman that the problem with rumors is that they give losers false hope, and compared to him, everyone is a loser around here. Roman says he has beaten them all and that Brock Lesnar is the number one loser around here, saying he faced him in less than ideal conditions and still smashed him. After saying that he does not care about rumors, Roman also calls Big E a loser after smashing him last week, and says they are two people in a long list and that he is now running laps around the roster. He addresses the Black Friday Battle Royal for later tonight to determine his next opponent for the Universal Championship, saying four people could win it and he would still smash them all because he is the best of the best. He also says he is the greatest of all time, and that when his days are done around here - which may be sooner than later - the whole world will acknowledge him.



Jeff Hardy and Drew McIntyre beat Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss.

Charlotte Flair heads to the ring. Michael Cole interviews her in the ring, and Charlotte says the only way Becky Lynch could have beaten her was to cheat and that Becky's win was a hollow victory, stating that she is not the superior athlete and was just lucky. Charlotte says that Becky is the person she said she was and that she is the better woman, and that Becky's success is because of her. She says that as Becky is still "Big Time Bex" in fantasy land, she is still the most dominant woman in sports entertainment. Toni Storm then shows up and says that Becky won as predicted because Becky got to Charlotte, then says she will make it easier for Charlotte and tells her she is right here. She says she is not coming after Toni because she barely remembers she exists and that she is on a different level. She then goes for a cheap shot, but Toni sends her out of the ring. When Toni goes after Charlotte, Charlotte hits her with a pie, then hits her with another one when she dares Toni to come at her.



In backstage footage from earlier today, Sasha Banks confronts WWE official Sonya Deville, saying she gave her a team full of traitors and blames her for her Survivor Series loss, saying she would have won if she had her own team with Naomi on it. Sonya tells her to watch her tone and that she has nothing against Naomi, but Sasha Banks says she is lying and is angry that Naomi has always been better than her.

Wrestle House 2 - Impact Wrestling recap for November 25, 2021



Chris Bey beats Fallah Bahh in the BTI match.

The show starts with a recap of the first Wrestle House and the events leading up to Wrestle House 2 as read by Father James Mitchell.

7 Days Until Thanksgiving: We find ourselves where last week's show ended. Johnny Swinger has bad memories of the first Wrestle House, then tries to leave only to see his worst fear: a woman with a baby telling Swinger the baby is his. This keeps Swinger from leaving. Madison Rayne and Kaleb with a K want to leave, and Rosemary says everyone will be here until Swinger is happy and thankful again. Everyone is hesitant and thinks there is no chance of this, even as they are told they are the only ones who can do it. Suddenly, a wet Chris Sabin shows up wearing only two towels as synthwave music plays and steam flows through the hallway, having come early to get a room. Everyone then decides to get settled. Crazzy Steve leaves, and Rosemary tells John E. Bravo that everything will be fine as long as he keeps his mouth shut, even if this is going to cost him his soul.



6 Days Until Thanksgiving: Everyone tries to figure out what makes Johnny Swinger happy. Kaleb hands Swingerella #2 his business card in an attempt to make her a model, then Kaleb runs into Chris Sabn, who knows nothing about the synthwave music and fog from his entrance. As Sabin says that he was teleported to Wrestle House without a shirt, but Kaleb thinks Sabin is here to embarrass him. This leads to a match, with Sabin saying "I love this match" as the new "Match time!" statement. Johnny Swinger is the only one not teleported to the match because he is doing Tae-Bo in another room.

Chris Sabin beats Kaleb. Father James Mitchell, Dr. Ross and Sinn Bodhi are on commentary. John E. Bravo is the referee. After the match, we see Johnny Swinger do Tae-Bo in the confessional room.

5 Days Until Thanksgiving: Madison Rayne and Kaleb find numerous people in the kitchen, and Madison asks if she is the only one with any sense of urgency. She closes the book in Black Taurus' hands, then Havok says she and Rosemary are leaving for the day for their tag team title match at Turning Point. Chris Sabin shows up again, and Kaleb hands him a shirt. Alisha says they need to figure something out, and John E. Bravo says that Johnny Swinger is out of his era and would not be able to be happy with anyone half his age. Madison Rayne and Alisha get everyone together. John E. Bravo produces a video tape of Downtown Daddy Brown vs. Julian Cumberbund from IPWF from the first Throwback Throwdown, and Madison and Alisha mention Brown's past friendship with Swinger. Madison and Alisha try to get Rosemary to teleport Downtown Daddy Brown into Wrestle House while Hernandez and John E. Bravo bring Swinger to the living room. Swinger is brought into the room with a blindfold, as is Daddy Brown. When their blindfolds are removed, everyone finds out that they hate each other. It turns out that Daddy Brown hates him for stepping on his daughter, and that he has promised to kill Swinger the next time he saw him. This leads to a match between Brown and Swinger, but Brown has to take care of his gout first.



"Downtown" Daddy Brown beats Johnny Swinger despite hurting his hip on the elbow drop. After the match, one of the Swingerellas checks on Johnny Swinger, but Swinger says he will survive this.

4 Days Until Thanksgiving: After the match, "Downtown" Daddy Brown is teleported back home, and Alisha admits to Swinger that they are here at Wrestle House to cheer him up. This only makes Swinger angry, saying he will never be happy or thankful.

Chris Sabin plays piano. Alisha wonders if everyone will be stuck in Wrestle House forever, and Madison blames Rosemary for everything that is going on and says she could teleport everyone else out if she wanted to. Rosemary says that this is a deal with her father and cannot be negotated, and when Madison Rayne wants to know who wants to go home right now, she finds herself vasty outnumbered, with even Sabin and John E. Bravo wanting to stay. Madison Rayne makes it clear that she and everyone on her side wants to fight her way out of here, but before Sabin can make the match, Alisha says Madison's side needs one more person. Alisha proposes Eddie Edwards, who is teleport to the house. Eddie Edwards shows up, and the match starts.

Chris Sabin and Decay (Rosemary, Havok, Crazzy Steve, Black Taurus) beat Eddie Edwards, Alisha, Madison Rayne, Kaleb and Hernandez after turning a multi-person suplex into a multi-person face bit. Swingerella #2 is the referee. As per pre-match stipulation, everyone has to stay in Wrestle House until Swinger is happy and thankful as per the original deal. After the match, Madison Rayne says she will make things miserable for everyone before leaving. Rosemary notices that Swingerella #1 has unrequited love regarding Johnny Swinger, and says they will have to make Swinger fall for her. Rosemary says they will have to make Swinger jealous, and to do that, she and Swingerella #1 have to speak to "The Lord of the Manor."

3 Days Until Thanksgiving: Rosemary and Swingerella #1 speak with The Lord of the Manor. Meanwhile, Alisha gets Eddie Edwards up to speed on what is going on, then Rosemary announces that she and Havok are doing their best when Johnny Swinger shows up for some breakfast. Swingerella #1 puts her plan into action, saying her new boyfriend has dropped by. Lawrence D shows up with the cologne that made him Lawrence D, which explains the bad smell in the house. Johnny Swinger meets Lawrence D, but is unimpressed and walks off. It also becomes revealed that the house is Lawrence D's house, and we finally get to see the title card for Wrestle House 2. Afterwards, Madison Rayne is convinced that everyone is stuck here forever, but Havok says they just need to find someone who can get through to Swinger. Crazzy Steve says he knows just the person.

Johnny Swinger is convinced The Demon is Gene Simmons, but The Demon says The Demon is a pretty decent guy and a pretty good baseball player, then The Demon notices that Swinger lives a life with no consequences. He says that this may have a correlation to where he is in his life and why there is only one woman on the road for him, and tells him that when he finds that woman, not to let her go.



2 Days Until Thanksgiving: As everyone wonders whether or not The Demon's plan will work, Alisha and Eddie Edwards make out in the confessional room. Madison Rayne mentions that her plan has worked, and Johnny Swinger shows up in a happier mood. Johnny says he has realized that he does not need to rock 'n roll all night and party every day to be happy, then says that Swingerella #1 is his number one. Lawrence D takes exception to this, but Swingerella #1 tells Lawrence he does not have to pretend anymore. Swinger says he will fight for Swingerella #1's honor, and Lawrence D says he will fight for what he loves. This leads to another wrestling match.

Johnny Swinger beats Lawrence D after referee John E. Bravo confiscates Lawrence D's bottle of Ring Rust and Swinger throws powder into Lawrence D's face. After the match, Johnny Swinger proposes to Swingerella #1 with an engagement ring out of his fanny pack. Swingerella #1 says yes. Johnny Swinger and Swingerella #1 then kiss in the ring, then Rosemary shows up and says nobody is going anywhere until they get to the altar.

1 Day Until Thanksgiving: As Alisha and Eddie Edwards talk about the wedding - and argues with Eddie about what he did the last wedding he was at - Johnny Swinger asks Hernandez to be the best man. He agrees. After Swinger leaves, Hernandez says he has a bad feeling about the wedding, but Alisha does not believe him. Meanwhile, the two Swingerellas talk about the wedding. As Hernandez gets ready for the wedding, he overhears a conversation between Rosemary and John E. Bravo over the deal they have made that will cost Bravo his soul. Hernadez steps in, and this starts a match. This starts a match between Hernandez and Black Taurus which Rosemary makes as a chance for Hernandez to reconsider, and Hernandez has no choice but to wrestle Black Taurus.

Black Taurus beats Hernandez after tearing a hole in the back of his pants. After the match, Rosemary hypnotizes Hernandez in order to end his suspicions. When Alisha catches up with Hernandez, Hernandez acts like he is stuck in the past.



Thanksgiving Day: Eddie Edwards listens in on Decay's conversation with John E. Bravo, but when he confronts Rosemary, Rosemary makes Eddie believe he is drunk with her demonic powers. Meanwhile, Kaleb leaves with Madison Rayne and not Swingerella #2, but Chris Sabin goes to the wedding with her as a friend. John E. Bravo gets Hernandez a new suit, then the wedding begins. Father James Mitchell officiates the wedding, but Eddie shows up "drunk." Decay is about to throw Eddie out, but Alisha wants to talk to Eddie. Eddie mentions Rosemary, then Hernandez recovers his memory. Eddie mentions Rosemary, then Hernandez recovers his memory. After Hernandez mentions that Rosemary wants John E. Bravo's virgin blood and some "Free Britney" reference, John E. Bravo mentions he is no longer a virgin. Swingerella #1 then mentions that she and Bravo has been sleeping together, and therefore she cannot marry Johnny Swinger. Swinger is happy he does not have to be married. Rosemary says no deal has been sealed, but Bravo proposes to Swingerella #1. Swingerella #1 says yes, then Father James Mitchell declares Bravo and Swingerella #1 married. Everyone has Thanksgiving dinner, then Johnny Swinger calls himself the most thankful man alive. Swingerella #1 says she is glad she made the right choice. Afterwards, Rosemary tells Havok and Crazzy Steve to "let the mortals have their fun" and that they will leave afterwards, Black Taurus heads to the confessional room to read The Odyssey, and Willie Mack shows up as Santa Claus to end the show.



Generation NXT UK - NXT UK recap for November 25, 2021

Backstage, before the next match, "Flash" Morgan Webster tells Mark Andrews to get his head in the game before Andrews heads to the ring.

Jordan Devlin beats Mark Andrews.

We hear from Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala, who states that Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate and Trent Seven) will face Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley) for the NXT UK Tag Team Championships in two weeks time.

Backstage, we hear from Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang). Wolfgang says he is fed up with Teoman, Rohan Raja and Charlie Dempsey. Joe Coffey asks how they did not see him coming, and Mark Coffey asks what kind of planet Charlie Dempsey is from siding with Rohan and Teoman. Joe Coffey says the numbers are even now and that he likes nothing more than a square go in the ring, and that if Charlie Dempsey wants to run with Teoman and Raja, that is fine with them, because he is getting his head kicked in.

In footage from earlier this week, Sam Gradwell confronts Noam Dar and Sha Samuels at home for having a very loud party, and ends up challenging Noam Dar to a match. Noam Dar accepts, with he and Sha saying the match will be "easy money." The camera crew then joins Noam Dar's party.

Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala is interrupted by Sam Gradwell, who wants his match to be with Noam Dar to be a Heritage Cup title match. Noam Dar and Sha Samuels shows up as he does this, telling Sid not to go through with it. Suddenly, General Manager Johnny Saint suddenly returns and says they will do whatever Sid wants. Sid makes the match for the Heritage Cup Championship.

Isla Dawn beats Aleah James. After the match, Isla Dawn returns the scrunchie back to Aleah James.

In backstage footage from last week, Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala is met by Xia Brookside wanting a championship match. Sid Scala gives her a championship match against Meiko Satomura next week, but when Xia Brookside says a week is not enough and that it's not fair, Sid Scala tells her "Next week or not at all!" Xia screams "Fine!" and leaves in a huff.

Backstage, Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate and Trent Seven) decide to take the next two weeks to refocus and become tag team champions, saying they will not lose this one as they owe it to the fans. We then hear from Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley), who says beating Moustache Mountain twice is better than beating them once, and this time, the fans will see with their own eyes that they are the best tag team champions in NXT UK's history.

Before the next match, Jinny shows up, saying that Dani Luna is not showing up and that she has made sure of that, saying that the fans will have to get used to not seeing her for a long time.

Backstage, Noam Dar and Sha Samuels cover up A-Kid and Tyler Bate's names on the Heritage Cup with tape.

We hear from Ilja Dragunov, who says Rampage Brown made it clear that he did not need his respect, for looking him in the eye, punching in the chest and knocking him to the ground gave him the greatest disrespect he ever could. Dragunov says he fought for the NXT UK Championship for himself at first, but then he realized what responsibilty he had and that the fans see him as a symbol of endurance, dedication and fighting like there is no tomorrow. We then hear from Rampage Brown, who says that Ilja Dragunov being the "golden boy" does not sit well with him and that what does is that Dragunov is champion. He says he showed up as the most respectable competitor NXT UK ever signed, but at the end of the day, the NXT UK Championship is the only thing that will get him anywhere. He says that Dragunov is in his way and that he will smash his face in, take his title and have all the respect.



Backstage, Mark Andrews says he is fine, but as "Flash" Morgan Webster comes out of the medical office, Kenny Williams shows up saying that the medical office should be called "Subculture's (Webster, Andrews, Dani Luna) dressing room."

Williams retreats when Andrews confronts him.

Gradwell scores the first fall with eighteen (18) seconds left in Round 1 after slamming Noam Dar's head into his knee brace. Noam Dar scores the second fall with 1:26 (one minute, twenty-six seconds) left in Round 2 following a Nova Roller. At the end of Round 3, Noam Dar does so much damage to Gradwell's left knee that Gradwell has to remove his knee brace. This gives Sha Samuels an opportunity at a cheap shot behind the referee's back in Round 4. Noam Dar scores the third and deciding fall seven (7) seconds left in Round 4 with the Champagne Super Kneebar following interference from Sha Samuels.

Dynamite Thanksgiving - Dynamite recap for November 24, 2021

Before the next match, MJF shows up and tells CM Punk that he hurt his feelings last week when he extended his hand, saying it was almost as bad as the time CM Punk took his ball and "went home like a little bitch." MJF then says that everyone loves "The Pipebomb," calling it CM Punk's best moment only to say that all of his moments are the best MJF moment, because he is not a one-trick pony like Punk. He says that he respects Punk, including the fact that he is straight edge, then says he could not imagine someone straight edge like Punk "looking like a meth addict," and says if he had Punk's face, he would need eight whiskey shots to look at himself in the mirror. MJF also takes offense to Punk not wanting to wrestle him, but chalks it up to Punk "not wanting none," then says he is not just a big fish in a small pond and that he looks like a minnow, then says he will finish him faster than his UFC career. He then says Punk's watch will say "Outta time" instead of "Clobberin' time," and says that while Punk drops pipebombs for retorts, he drops nukes. CM Punk finally takes the microphone. Punk tells MJF he is so disappointed in him, but then give props to MJF for introducing himself, as he thought MJF stood for "My Jealous Fan." He says that Punk never brought up MJF by design, as he did not want to feed his rotten ego and that he is already in his head due to the poster of him on his wall. He says that he had heard of him, and last week, he shut him up without saying a word. Punk said MJF had a whole week only to come out with the lowest hanging fruit for zingers, and says that instead of revolutionary, "he's just a less famous Miz." MJF says Punk's retorts were "almost what he wanted," which encapsulates Punk's AEW career because nostalgia is a drug that misconstrues memories and Punk is nostalgia. He admits that he was fan, and felt that nobody could touch Punk because he was the best. He said that felt that way until Punk had difficulty beating the easiest competition and saying anything relevant. MJF then says Punk's breath "smells like shit" because he has been kissing ass, then calls Punk's promos robotic before saying Punk has gone soft, has gray hairs and is the one who needs to go to sleep. He then says he is looking at "PG Punk" instead of CM Punk and asked what happened to the Punk he knew, saying he might as well be preaching hustle, loyalty and respect. MJF says that problem is that he can see Punk and see through him, saying he is back for a boatload of money instead of the younger wrestlers and stayed out of the business for seven years either because he made stuff nobody bought or was terrified he could never hang. He then tells Punk he should be scared, because even though he should be showcased as the number one guy and has the opportunity to prove everyone right, the question of whether or not that can happen in a month or a year is there. MJF then says the envy is there and that Punk hates him because he represents everything he hates about the business, simply because he was born for it while Punk was a dumpy reject from Chicago who had to work his tail off. He then says it eats Punk that after all he has given for the business, he has been nothing more than second-best his whole career, whether it was with John Cena or Triple H, and now that he is in his ring, it will be no different. He says that Punk may claim to be the best in the world, he is better than Punk and Punk knows it. Punk says there is some truth to what MJF has just said, and that he would not know how the people would react or if he had it, but he is not scared any longer, especially of MJF. Punk says he sold out Madison Square Garden while MJF was on Rosie O'Donnell's show, then tells him that he will help him get on the New York Times in the obituaries and that he cannot "back up shit without his back-up." Punk says he looked at AEW and knew it was a place he wanted to be, and took on the heart and soul of AEW in Darby Allin and beat him without having to cheat while MJF so too busy talking he didn't know he was replaced by Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. He then says that MJF has talked too much and that they have wasted the fans' time, then says Chicago is the second city because it rebuilt itself from its own embers and that he will proudly wear number two. He also says that MJF will only be number one when everyone waits around long enough for Tony Khan to have a daughter MJF can marry, and says a better welcome back gift to Chicago is punching MJF in his "needle dick." MJF teases throwing down with Punk by taking off his jacket, then rolls out of the ring.



CM Punk beats QT Marshall. During the match, Aaron Solo and Nick Comoroto get ejected from ringside when they get involved in the match.



Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Christian Cage, Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. Christian says they have a ton of momentum and their confidence has grown to the point that they feel unbeatable. Because of that, good things have happened. He says Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus are #1 contenders for the AEW tag team titles, and this time, they have him and momentum, and he will make sure they win the tag team championships.

Backstage, we hear from Eddie Kingston in catering. As he says he misses Jon Moxley, 2point0 (Jeff Parker and Matt Lee) and Daniel Garcia show up and apologize to Eddie and say they have read his recent article, then says he is not a hungry man anymore. As Jeff Parker tells Eddie Kingston that they can help him, Daniel Garcia blinds Eddie with his own coffee, and multiple people have to break up the ensuing brawl.

The Gunn Club (Billy and Colten Gunn) beat Bear Country (Bear Boulder and Bear Bronson). After the match, Sting shows up. Austin Gunn charges at Sting, but he gets cut off at the pass by Darby Allin, who gets in the ring with Sting and forces Billy and Colten to retreat.



AEW Battle of the Belts is live on TNT on January 8th!

We hear from Adam Cole and Bobby Fish. Cole says the last few weeks have sucked with the matches they have been losing, and says that he and Fish are best friends. Suddenly, Best Friends (Chuck Taylor, Orange Cassidy, Wheeler Yuta) show up. As Chuck Taylor says they are the Best Friends, Adam Cole says "Best Friends" is just a name and that Orange Cassidy is a bad friend and Wheeler Yuta has no friends. Orange and Wheeler confront them, and Cole tells them they will pay for their disrespect.

Backstage, Tony Schaivone moderates Dante Martin's contract signing for Team Taz (Taz, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs, Hook). Lio Rush is not interested in being part of Team Taz, but Dante Martin signs the contract. Dante Martin is now part of Team Taz.



Thunder Rosa beats Jamie Hayter to advance in the TBS Championship Tournament after fending off the interference attempt by Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and Rebel. After the match, Jamie Hayter pushes Britt Baker away before heading to the back.



Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Chris Jericho. Jericho is not able to see much before 2point0 (Jeff Parker and Matt Lee) and Daniel Garcia interrupt, and Jericho tells them they should go to the hardware store so they can protect themselves when Eddie Kingston beats them up. Jericho then says Matt Lee has a square head and looks like an ugly Spongebob Squarepants, which starts a "square head" chant, then tells them that if they interrupt him again, he will knock their teeth down their throat. Jeff Parker tells Jericho to watch his mouth as they leave.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone has Thanksgiving dinner with Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and Rebel. Britt says that despite everything that has gone wrong tonight, she is still AEW Women's World Champion. Tony Schiavone then says that Riho was never eliminated from the Casino Battle Royal at All Out and that she has a match with Britt on Friday, and if Riho wins, she gets a shot at the AEW Women's World title. Britt Baker tells Tony Schiavone he ruined Thanksgiving and is not invited to the Christmas party, then gets irritated at the fact there are ice cubes in the red wine.

Bryan Danielson beats Colt Cabana with the Lebell Lock after stomping Colt's head in. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Bryan Danielson. Danielson says that it is funny that when he debuted in Chicago, Illionis, he got a much different reaction, and says that the fans are fickle. He says he is not fickle and that he did what he said he would do to Colt Cabana and also kicked his teeth out. He then says there are a few Dark Order members from Atlanta, Georgia, and dares them to challenge him so he can kick their heads in on the way to "Hangman" Adam Page. Suddenly, Adam Page shows up. Adam Page says Chicago holds a special place in his heart and says he cannot think of a better time and place to defend the AEW World Championship than right here and right now. He then says that Adam Page challenging him after he already had a match is "coward shit," not "cowboy shit." Page says that if Danielson does not want to wrestle him, he will not leave without a fight, and he will give Danielson the first punch. Danielson tells Page not to insult him like that, then slaps him anyway. Both men exchange shots and brawl, and Danielson runs away as Page goes for the Buckshot Lariat.





We see a video package for Kris Statlander vs. Ruby Soho in the TBS Championship Tournament.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and Death Triangle (PAC, Penta el Zero M, Rey Fenix) beat Malakai Black, Andrade el Idolo and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in a match that sees Cody throw his weight belt into the crowd only for the belt to be thrown back into the ring and also sees Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard stare down only to punch Jose out when he gets involved after Malakai Black spits the black mist into PAC's eyes.

Generation NXT 2.0 - NXT 2.0 recap for November 23, 2021

The show starts early with Grayson Waller cutting off the intro early. He says that Tommaso Ciampa is larger than life, but is not a Superstar like him. He also brings up John Cena and The Rock, saying the fans booed them out of WWE. He also says that the fans booed Roman Reigns and he ended up being the head of the table, then says people on social media do not matter and that Superstars do. Suddenly, Ciampa shows up for the next match.

Tommaso Ciampa beats Grayson Waller.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews LA Knight. Knight says that Grayson Waller sucks, then Joe Gacy shows up and says Knight's facts are destructive and terrible, and that they should build each other up, not tear each other down. LA Knight says the only thing building up is his wanting to tear Gacy down, but Gacy says that "their safe space" is "out there." LA Knight tells Joe Gacy he has no problem beating him in the ring.

In footage from earlier today, Mandy Rose says Cora Jade does not even belong in the same ring as her as she talks to the rest of Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne). Dakota Kai joins them as they soon see trash can lids and chains on the floor. When they leave, Kay Lee Ray shows up, saying that the trash can lids and chains are her doing.

Cameron Grimes heads to the ring, and he shows up with shorter hair and a more serious mood. Grimes says he grew up in a very small town in North Carolina, and every day, people would push him down and tell him he was not good enough. He showed them he was good enough and that if he scratched and clawed, he could hold it down. He says that he made it in the industry and even struck it rich, but through all that, he kept his head and beard to remind himself of his beginnings and his struggles. He says Duke Hudson took all that away from him and embarrassed and humiliated him, but he messed up by making him angry. Cameron Grimes then calls Duke Hudson out. We then see Duke Hudson at a stylist's table, asking why Cameron Grimes is mad when he took a lot of money in the process and gave him a free haircut, saying he did him a favor. Cameron tells him to come to the ring to settle things, but Hudson declines. Cameron says he gave Hudson a chance to show how brave he is, but he proved to be "gutless and nutless." Cameron Grimes then challenges Duke Hudson to a hair vs. hair match at WarGames.
