Generation NXT 2.0 - NXT 2.0 recap for February 1, 2022

Imperium (Gunther, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel) beat Diamond Mine (Roderick Strong, Julius Creed, Brutus Creed).



In backstage footage from earlier today, LA Knight says Grayson Waller is trying to avoid the inevitable when Joe Gacy and Harland approach him. Joe Gacy says that Harland once had to move on from an unwelcome restraining order in the past, and says he can do that for LA Knight, too. LA Knight challenges them to a match.

WrestleMania is 60 days away!

For the next two weeks, NXT will be live on SyFy Network.

Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne) head to the ring. Gigi Dolin says that the worst of people fall into luck sometimes, and that for Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta, they will be their death sentence. Jacy Jayne says that in two weeks, they will put the Women's tag titles on the line and get vengeance. Kay Lee Ray shows up and demands a shot at the NXT Women's Championship. When Mandy declines, Kay Lee Ray threatens to bash her brains in with her baseball bat. Mandy tells her to put the bat down. She does. Gigi and Jacy leave. Kay Lee Ray says she is the longest reigning women's champion of the modern era, and if anyone deserves a title shot, it is her. Mandy mentions her accolades before becoming NXT Women's Champion, something women want to be and something men wish they were with. Kay Lee Ray says this is nothing compared to in-ring skills, saying she was dominating a country for 629 days while Mandy was sliding at WrestleMania and "sucking off Otis' face." Mandy says she is now everything WWE wants and needs in a women's champion, then tells Kay Lee Ray that all the talent in the world will never replace what she has. Kay Lee Ray says she will have her title shot by the end of the night, and when Mandy says "Doubtful," Kay Lee Ray slaps her. Gigi and Jacy charge the ring, but Kay Lee Ray chases them off with her baseball bat.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Cora Jade, who says she wants to prove to Raquel Gonzalez that she is tough enough and ready to win the women's Dusty Cup, and that the only thing in the way is Raquel doubting her. Raquel shows up and says she can still back out before asking her if she wants this match, to which Cora says "Yes." Raquel then says "Buena suerte."

In footage from outside of the arena from moments ago, Mandy Rose says Kay Lee Ray does not deserve a title shot because she is not even on her level. When she tries to get in her vehicle, Kay Lee Ray is in the driver seat. Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne, who have entered the vehicle before Mandy, are taken for a ride by Kay Lee Ray.

Raquel Gonzalez beats Cora Jade. After the match, Cora Jade pulls herself up, and Raquel helps her off before saying "Let's go and win this" and leaving with Cora Jade.



Sarray returns next!

We hear from Pete Dunne, who asks Tony D'Angelo how his hand is doing before saying he only needed one way to break it with a cricket bat and that he only took the advice Tony got from his cousin and took care of business. He says he can take care of business any way he can with anything he can get his hands on, then proposes they finish where it all started in a steel cage match.



Before the next match, Sarray goes from dressing like a schoolgirl to dressing like a wrestler.

Sarray beats Kayla Inlay. During the match, it is reported that Kay Lee Ray has returned to the arena, but the wherabouts of Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin are still unknown.



We hear from Duke Hudson, who says the only way to get ahead in NXT is striking first. He says he saw an opportunity and took it, and says that he suffered for being addicted to the long game. He says that he is addicted to hurting people and making them suffer, as Dante Chen learned first hand, and that he strikes as soon as possible and makes his own luck.



In the locker room, Bron Breakker is met by Tommaso Ciampa, who tells him that the top is a lonely place and that nobody knows until they've been there, and that Breakker now understands. He wants to make sure Breakker remains NXT Champion. Breakker says that tonight, they will take care of business by tearing Legado del Fantasma in half and kicking some ass.

Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams head to the ring. Trick Williams says that Cameron Grimes is not ready for the "A-Champion," and Carmelo Hayes says that while the old him would verbally put Grimes in the grave because the fans do not care about Grimes, the new him sees Cameron Grimes sees him as a threat. He says he is going harder in the gym, putting more time in the ring and hanging out with OlliJay more because that is what the "A-Champion" does, because he sets the bar on the show and he is always looking down on Cameron Grimes. Cameron Grimes shows up and says he had to come out here after saying the fans don't care about him, saying that the fans are chanting for him. Trick Williams threatens to beat Grimes up, then makes fun of his and Cameron Grimes' hair and hanging out with OllyJay with Spongebob Squarepants jokes. Trick Williams threatens to beat Grimes up again, but Grimes asks who he is fighting. Carmelo Hayes then tells Grimes he will find out what kind of champion he is when he shoots for the moon and takes the stars as casaulties, but Grimes says the match will be a "one-star match" and that that star is going to the moon.



Backstage, Malik Blade and Edris Enofe try to come up with a team name. Once again, Edris Enofe is fixated on Mandy Rose, and when Enofe asks Malik to close her eyes and try to think of what he would say to Mandy, Mandy shows up and falls into his arms. Mandy then asks for their help before Kay Lee Ray comes after her with a baseball bat. Enofe cannot believe what he is saying, and Malik needs a minute to process everything.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Diamond Mine. Malcolm Bivens there is no moving forward without struggle, and The Creed Brothers says that the bigger the stage, the better they are, and that they will face Imperium again for tag team gold. Grizzed Young Veterans show up, and Zack Gibson says they should be focused on the Dusty Cup before thanking them for making their job easier.

Joe Gacy beats LA Knight after Sanga distracts Knight on the outside and Grayson Waller somersaults over the barricade and hits LA Knight with a stunner out of nowhere. After the match, Grayson Waller tells LA Knight that he does not belong in NXT and that he owns it now. Knight strikes Waller, but Sanga choke slams Knight. Waller tells Knight that if he wants to get his hands on him and that if he can beat Sanga next week, he may consider getting rid of the restraining order.



Tiffany Stratton watches Wendy Choo backstage.

We hear from Robert Stone and Von Wagner. Stone says he was focused on the entertainment side of the business and who would take him to the top before he saw Von Wagner and realized he should connect with him. He then says he will pay Von Wagner's fines again and again because he is the future and a future champion, then says that this is Von Wagner's world, and Von Wagner says we are all just living in it.



In footage from earlier today, Tiffany Stratton says NXT is for athletes, not people like Wendy Choo, and says that if she can beat Wendy, she can go shopping on her daddy's dime. Amari Miller says she will think about it.

Wendy Choo beats Amari Miller. During the match, Tiffany Stratton shows up and slides a credit card to Amari Miller, which inadvertently distracts Miller. After the match, Tiffany Stratton wants her card back, but finds out that Wendy Choo has it (and hit Amari Miller with it).



Backstage, Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis meet with Persia Pirrotta when Brooks Jensen asks for relationship advice with Kayden Carter. Indi says that when a guy talks too much, it's a turn-off, and that non-verbal communication is sexy.



We see a vignette of Draco Anthony entering the Performance Center at 2:23 AM and training before his NXT debut, which is up next.



We see a vignette of Nikkita Lyons, who says that she grew up the daughter of a rock star and a groupie and travelled the world, and while she learned from shady club owners, that road has taken her here. She says that if she can attack the ring like she can attack a track, then the women's division had better watch out.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Sarray, who dedicates tonight's win to her grandmother. She says that with her necklace, she can do anything. Dakota Kai shows up and says that no matter how strong a relationship is, the sun always sets on it.



Andre Chase beats Draco Anthony after Anthony takes the Chase U flag away from Bodhi Hayward and stomps all over it.



Backstage, a tired Mandy Rose gets a drink of water only for Kay Lee Ray to sneak up on her and dump a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs on her and throw a cake in her face.

NXT Vengeance Day is live on USA Network in two weeks!

Bron Breakker and Tommaso Ciampa beat Legado del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza) after Ciampa shoves Wilde off the top rope and into the announce table while Breakker hits a powerslam on Mendoza. After the match, Santos Escobar gets on the ring apron, and when Bron Breakker dares him to get in the ring, Escobar says he will do this on his time. Afterwards, Mandy Rose slides into the ring while Kay Lee Ray chases after her, and Kay Lee Ray catches up to her and demands a title match next week. Mandy gives her the match, then Kay Lee Ray hits her with a superkick and a KLR Bomb.



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