Generation NXT - NXT recap for November 1, 2022

Bron Breakker heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Bron says Halloween Havoc was a monumental night, but as he talks about the event, Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson and Elton Prince) suddenly show up. The both of them make fun of Bron Breakker talking about how he is a fighting champion and how he had a tough fight, then Prince says Breakker is "the absolute worst" and they are sick of it. Bron makes fun of their accents as he asks "What do you wankers want?", which Pretty Deadly takes offense to before Prince says they had the better title defense and are more deserving of the big parade. Suddenly, Wes Lee shows up as tells Pretty Deadly to shut up, then thanks Bron Breakker for namedropping him. Prince says the conversation is about Pretty Deadly, but Bron Breakker tells them to quit bitching and that they could have been out in the ring first if they weren't so concerned about their hair. After Wes Lee mentions that Pretty Deadly has good hair, Bron Breakker decides to see for himself, then admits he takes things too far some times and will step back. Wes Lee then gives them an introduction, and Bron Breakker joins in. When Pretty Deadly go for the side plate check, Bron Breakker butts in and tells them and tells them that if they are going to start the show, they will eventually be interrupted, and it may be for the titles. Wes Lee then says it is them. Wes Lee admits he misses the NXT tag team titles and that Bron Breakker has never held them, and Bron Breakker proposes that "the best champions in NXT" put their tag team titles on the line tonight. Kit Wilson says Pretty Deadly will have the last laugh, but Bron Breakker says they will see who is laughing when he and Wes Lee hold more gold. Elton Prince then says tonight sucks and could not get any worse when R-Truth suddenly shows up for the next match.

Grayson Waller beats R-Truth by forfeit after R-Truth hurts his leg on a botched dive to the outside and Grayson Waller is unable to catch him. R-Truth has to be helped to the back afterwards. After the match, Grayson Waller says that regardless of what brand he is on, he is the most valuable Superstar in the company and he is sick and tired of people sleeping on him. He also boasts that he beat a 20-year vet in R-Truth on his own. He says that NXT is his house and that nobody is going to change that.

Backstage, Vic Joseph interviews The Schism (Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, Jagger Reid, Ava Raine). When asked why she joined The Schism, Ava Raine said nobody suspected she was in the group. She says she has been around WWE her entire life and nobody took the time to get to know "the real her" until she met The Schism. She says that when she suffered a serious injury at the Performance Center, only Joe Gacy checked on her. She then says that Vic Joseph is only making assumptions about her like everyone else. On the subject of the national attention that The Schism is getting, Joe Gacy says people ask Ava Raine for things they did not earn or deserve and that The Schism sees her as she really is, which is why she joined them. Rip Fowler says they suffer criticism and ridicule and are compared to other teams, and Jagger Reid says that when one removes their mask, it is too harsh for other people, but it is welcomed in The Schism. Vic Joseph then mentions Cameron Grimes tweeting about Ava Rayne being brainwashed by The Schism, Ava Raine takes offense to it and that he saw what Grimes could not see: that The Schism can do more as a team than as individuals. She says that The Schism plan on making an example out of Grimes when Grimes faces Gacy for the last time. Gacy says The Schism are focused on being "four roots, one tree."

Backstage, Javier Bernal tells Malik Blade and Edris Enofe that they are not championship material and that not everybody can be him, and that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels will tell them the same thing he told them.

Suddenly, Odyssey Jones walks out of Shawn's office and tells Javier Bernal he will be facing him tonight.

In locker room footage from earlier today, Zoey Stark and Nikkita Lyons. Indi Hartwell tells Zoey Stark to be grateful she has another title opportunity, as she doesn't get them. As Zoey Stark says that title shots are earned, Indi and Zoey stark argue, and both of them have to keep back by the rest of the women's locker room so they don't hurt each other.

They are soon met by Mr. Stone, who says that Bron cares more about the tag titles than the NXT Championship and that he can take on any man except for one man: Von Wagner.

Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne) head to the ring to celebrate Mandy Rose's one-year reign as NXT Women's Champion. Jacy Jayne tells the fans to bow in the presence of greatness and one year of proving everyone wrong, being "the baddest bitch in the game" and being the most dominant champion in NXT history. Gigi Dolin says Mandy Rose is untouchable, but the fans did not believe in her, and that Mandy has proven time and again that she is superior to everyone in the locker room and "the absolute measuring stick of the women's division" with all of her accomplishments. She also says that Mandy has made Toxic Attraction the most dominant faction in NXT history, then Jacy Jayne unveils a package of Mandy Rose's time on the main roster and her time in Toxic Attraction. Mandy then says that for four years, she was just "eye candy" to the fans, and that is why two years ago, she had to bet on herself and rebuild herself in NXT, which she calls the best decision she has ever made in her life. She says that with the help of Jacy and Gigi, Toxic Attraction has made it to the top, and that the fans underestimated her because the NXT Women's Championship represents the greatest women's wrestlers in the entire world. Mandy then says she tells people to put respect on her name because "it is the truth," and brags about stepping on everyone in the women's division and sitting on her rightful throne for over a year. She says nobody will kick her off the throne, and if anyone has a problem, they know where to find her. Suddenly, fog shoots out from underneath the ring, then Alba Fyre shows up, beats up Toxic Attraction, attacks the two men carrying champagne and lays out Gigi Dolin in the ring.
