Generation NXT 2.0 - NXT 2.0 recap for May 10, 2022

In footage from after last week's show, two black-clocked men DDT Bron Breaker on a steel chair, then carry him out on a tattered stretcher covered in barbed wire. Inside an automobile, Joe Gacy tells Bron Breakker that he may have won tonight, but there are many forms of victory. He then says that this is not how the story ends and that he and Breakker are on this journey together and that this is Breakker's time to be all alone as they leave him on the side of a road.

Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne) retain the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships against Wendy Choo and Roxanne Perez following the attempted interference by Mandy Rose. After the match, Wendy Choo fights Toxic Attraction only to be attacked from behind with a title belt by Mandy Rose, who then gang up on Wendy along with Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne.

In footage from earlier this week, Grayson Waller and Tiffany Stratton go shopping. Waller says that Nathan Frazer got lucky in his match against him thanks to Andre Chase and Bodhi Hayward, and Tiffany Stratton asks who goes to Chase University when their colors are so tacky and the perfect for losers like Sarray. Waller says that he will get his revenge against Andre Chase, and Tiffany says she is "so there for that" before Waller says that there will be a teachable moment: there is nothing more dangerous than the Grayson Waller effect.

Backstage, Roderick Strong is met by The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed). Julius says that their match against The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) is tainted because of Roderick when the match was supposed to be a challenge, as Roderick inserted himself into the match when it came time to dig deep, and Brutus says it is not about the win, but about how they won. He says that there will be no excuse and no interference, and next week, they will face The Viking Raiders again and they will beat them the right way. Roderick Strong says that he believes in them and that he is going to bring in someone who will help them get to the NXT Tag Team Championships: the newest member of Diamond Mine, Damon Kemp. Julius says new members are a group decision, but Roderick Strong says that is not the case anymore.

Joe Gacy heads to the ring with two men in red cloaks. Gacy says that as he left Bron Breakker in the wilderness last week, he told him that he must face the next chapter of his journey all alone. He says his personal journey in NXT started months ago and he opened the doors of inclusivity to everyone, no matter who they are, as they could be a part of real change. He then says two men seperated themselves from the pack and proved their worth to him and themselves while going above and beyond to commit to his cause by taking that extra step, and the rest are no more. Gacy says his cause and message have been received, and that these are the faces of change. He says their expansion has begun and that change takes place one person at a time, then appeals to Bron Breakker and tells him to consider this his personal invitation, saying he does not have to do this alone and that he can join them and become part of their movement and this change, as the result is eternal joy. Gacy then says hardship and affliction awaits those who resist.

Backstage, Andre Chase and Bodhi Hayward get ready for tonight. Sarray shows up and says she has overheard Tiffany Stratton and Grayson Waller and that she wants to tag team with Andre Chase for a mixed tag match so she can tear them apart. Andre Chase - who is surprised Chase University has a foreign language department - likes the idea.

We see The Ivy Nile Challenge. The challenge is push-ups, and two of the men in the challenge are out after 90 push-ups. Ivy Nile says that at the end of the night, she will be the last one standing.

We see the participants of the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament on the stage: Nikkita Lyons, Arianna Grace, Fallon Henley, Sloane Jacobs, Roxanne Perez, Kiana James, Lash Legend and Tatum Paxley.

Fallon Henley beats Sloane Jacobs to advance in the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament. During the match, Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen show up to cheer Fallon Henley on from ringside, and celebrate with Fallon afterwards, which ends up become a show of good sportsmanship with Sloane Jacobs.

McKenzie Mitchell interviews Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz del Toro, Elektra Lopez). Santos Escobar states that when you live in his world, disrespect is met with a swift response. He says AJ Galante should not have been at the meeting, as he made himself fair game and could not survive in Legado's streets. He says that Tony D'Angelo's crew will learn the hard way that one does not get involved in Legado del Fantasma's business and walk away, much less walk again.

Alba Fyre debuts under her new name next!

Outside of the arena, Cruz del Toro starts the Legado del Fantasma car when Tony D'Angelo shows up. Cruz del Toro is then ambushed from both inside and outside the car and ganged up on by Troy "Two Dimes" Donovan and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, who then stuff Cruz del Toro in the trunk of Tony D'Angelo's white Toyota Camry.

It is announced that Amari Miller is back in action after being injured two months ago.

Alba Fyre beats Amari Miller. During the match, the Ivy Nile Challenge continues with Burpees.

Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams are met by Solo Sikoa, who locks them out of the arena.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Cora Jade. Cora says she is nervous to be in the main event with a legend, but Natalya is not facing the same girl she took photos with, DM'd a year ago or cheap-shotted a year ago. She says she is ready, and even though Natalya considers herself the gatekeeper of WWE, she is ready to bust that gape open and prove she can hang with a potential Hall of Famer.

Solo Sikoa heads to the ring. He says this is supposed to be Carmelo Hayes' and Trick Williams' time, because it is his time now. He says they were going to talk about the North American Championship, but everyone knows what happened last week. He says that if Carmelo wants that one-on-one shot, he will be at ringside watching, because he's got the winner and he does not care who wins it. Suddenly, Cameron Grimes shows up. He says he respects Solo Sikoa just like the crowd does and he understands that he wants another chance at the North American Championship, but it will be him and Carmelo Hayes one-on-one at In Your House. He then says that after he beats Hayes, Solo has his word that he will be next. As Solo Sikoa laves, Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams attack Cameron Grimes from behind. As Trick puts a chair around Grimes' neck, Solo Sikoa goes back in the ring and lays them out before sending them into a retreat.

Backstage, Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde and Elektra Lopez find out that Cruz del Toro has gone missing. Escobar makes a call to Tony D'Angelo, who mentions AJ Galante's disappearance before warning him that bad things will happen if anything happens to Galante. D'Angelo then proposes letting Galante go in exhange letting Cruz del Toro go before they settle things like men in the ring next week. Santos agrees to the proposal, but not before telling D'Angelo that he has sealed his fate. D'Angelo says he is the one who makes the threats and that he will break him, to which Santos Escobar replies "Hey, D'Angelo...fuck you!"

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Nathan Frazer. Frazer says he is still on cloud nine after beating Grayson Waller, then says he is cheering for Sarray and Andre Chase in the next match. Xyon Quinn shows up and tells Nathan Frazer that if he keeps his head down, works hard and runs it straight, he will be alright. After Frazer asks what "run it straight" means, Wes Lee shows up. Quinn tells Wes Lee that he put him in his place and warns Frazer not to make him put him in his, then Frazer says he was genuinely asking before leaving. After Wes Lee says that Quinn did not get under Nathan Frazer's skin, Quinn asks him if he wants to put him through all that pain again.

Before the next match, Andre Chase suddenly has a powder blue sweater vest and Bodhi Hayward is wearing a T-shirt with the botton and sleeves cut-off as well as a wig.

Sarray and Andre Chase beat Tiffany Stratton and Grayson Waller in a mixed tag match after Sarray pins Tiffany Stratton with a schoolkid pin after Bodhi Hayward blasts an airhorn at Stratton from ringside and Stratton makes him pay for it with a plancha.

The Ivy Nile Challenge continues with lunges with Bulgarian Bags as the herd begins to thin.

Backstage, McKenzie Miller interviews Robert Stone and Von Wagner. Von Wagner has Robert Stone do the talking, and Stone states that anyone who steps to Von Wagner will become an example just like Brooks Jensen and Ikemen Jiro. Suddenly, Ikemen Jiro shows up and attacks Von Wagner, starting a brawl that is very quickly stopped.

Backstage, Indi Hartwell is met by Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne). Mandy says that she cannot understand what Indi Hartwell is going through, and as Indi says she has lost everything and feels like she has lost all control, Mandy Rose says she cannot understand because no man has left her while she, Jacy and Gigi laugh. Jacy Jayne tells Indi Hartwell to go find Wendy Choo, who is crying in a corner, and Gigi says that misery loves company.

Nikkita Lyons beats Arianna Grace to advance in the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament.

The Ivy Nile Challenge continues with Battle Ropes and pull-ups. Only one man is left for the pull-ups, but he does not last long.

Backstage, we hear from The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik). Erik says they respect The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) for not wanting to accept a tainted victory, as it is hard to find men with honor and respect in this business. Ivar says that when the bell rings next week, honor and respect will be put to the side. Erik says that tainted or not, they have never experienced defeat in NXT and never will again, and Ivar says that in one week's time, the raid is coming, and no matter who gets involved, Ragnarok awaits.

Natalya beats Cora Jade with the Sharpshooter after Cora Jade passes out from the pain. After the match, both women hug in a show of good sportmanship to end the show.
