Generation NXT 2.0 - NXT 2.0 recap for April 5, 2022

Bron Breakker heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Breakker says his first WrestleMania weekend had a lot of ups and downs, as he got to induct his father and uncle, The Steiner Brothers, into the WWE Hall of Fame, came up short against Dolph Ziggler, then went to WrestleMania and saw great Superstars in the ring. He says that he knew he would main event WrestleMania one day and that he would not leave Dallas, Texas without the NXT Championship, and then he went to Raw, beat Ziggler for the NXT Championship, and brought the title back where it belongs. Suddenly, Imperium (Gunther, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel) heads to the ring, and Gunther tells Breakker that nobody cares about his story and that all he cares about is the NXT Championship, which he says stands for being the best in NXT. He tells Breakker that he cannot call himself the best until he steps into the ring with him, and Breakker tells him that if he wants a match, he has it tonight. The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) then show up before the show fades to commercial.

Cameron Grimes heads to the ring. Grimes says "We did it," and that he made good on his promise to his late father, who he says is smiling ear to ear. He says people talk about climbing the ladder to society, and at Stand & Deliver, he did just that and time stood still as all the moments of his father giving his blood, sweat and tears for the business and making him the man that he is now came back. He says that he busted his ass for the past three years to prove his father right when he said he deserved to be a WWE Superstar, then says that he will not become complacent and will do everything he can to take the championship to the moon.

He says that championship run through his bloodline, and tells Grimes that a champion needs a challenger and that that challenger is him. Grimes says he respects Solo Sikoa, as he sees a man who has fought every day to be in this moment, and as champion, that means he has to beat people like him. He then says "Uce...you're on." They shake hands, then Sikoa draws him closer for a staredown.

He says that if he follows the oath, he leaves on his feet; if he betrays the oath, he leaves on his back. He says the code of silence can never be broken, and if he breaks it, he will burn in hell. Galanti says his position is a position of honor and asks if he is ready to take it. D'Angelo says yes, and is handed a simple gold ring before Galanti kisses him on the cheeks.
