Generation NXT - NXT recap for May 9, 2023

Tiffany Stratton beats Gigi Dolin to advance to the semi-finals of the NXT Women's Championship Tournament after targeting Gigi Dolin's injured left arm throughout the match.



Backstage, Joe Gacy says he sacrificed himself for The Dyad (Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid), and he has no doubts that The Dyad will bring gold to The Schism (Gacy, Fowler, Reid, Ava Raine). The Dyad leave, then Gacy tells Ava Raine that he has taken her advice to heart and asks he to guide The Dyad like he would.

Earlier today at the barber shop, Trick Williams talks about his match with Bron Breakker. Carmelo tells Trick that he appreciates him standing up to Bron Breakker for him, even though he did not have to do this. Trick says he has been working and that he will beat Bron Breakker. He says that he has to take care of Bron Breakker, as Carmelo's biggest test is defending the NXT Championship while his biggest test is tonight.

Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) retains the NXT Tag Team Championships against The Dyad (Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid) after Ivy Nile runs out and attacks Ava Raine.



In backstage footage from earlier today, Thea Hail talks about the WWE Draft with other Chase U classmates when Javier Bernal shows up and mocks Thea for not being in the women's title tournament when Duke Hudson shows up. Javier Bernal still thinks Duke Hudson is faking what he is doing, and Hudson challenges him to a match.

We see someone wearing a hoodie watching footage of multiple attacks at the Performance Center.

Duke Hudson beats Javier Bernal.



Backstage, Von Wagner and Mr. Stone talk. Mr. Stone brings up the photo of Von Wagner with stitches on his head from last week. Suddenly, Luca Cristafino shows up and aggravates Mr. Stone and Von Wagner, and Von Wagner nearly beats him up.

Gallus tells Diamond Mine to stay out of their business, and Julius Creed tells them to watch their tag titles. Gallus are undeterred as they leave to go out and party.

Eddy Thorpe beats Damon Kemp.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Kiana James. Kiana says she has the most difficult first-round opponent, but she thrives under pressure and the last year has spoken volumes. She says he has done everything she has wanted to do in NXT except winning the NXT Women's Championship.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Bron Breakker. Breakker says he has stopped caring after carrying the NXT Championship and the brand on his shoulder for over a year for nothing, and while the fans have chosen Carmelo Hayes, Carmelo is probably still pulling splinters out of his ass after what he did to him. He then says he will put Trick Williams in the same hospital he put Carmelo Hayes in.

Ilja Dragunov beats Dijak by disqualification after Dijak shoves the referee into the corner and hitting Dragunov with a chair. After the match, Dijak continues to attack Dragunov and choke slams him into the ring apron, then traps him underneath the ring steps while simultaneously standing on them.



Backstage, Wes Lee sees a meditating Tyler Bate in a smokey locker room and thanks him for his help last week, then tells him that he has his back tonight. He then tells Tyler that his match is next and that they will not let Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey suck the life out of NXT. Tyler Bate then wakes up and says he was in a deep trance-like state, then they both head to the ring.

A Twitter video from Dani Palmer reveals a challenge between the team of Tank Ledger and Hank Walker and the team of Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.

Charlie Dempsey beats Tyler Bate after Drew Gulak distracts the referee and Joe Gacy - who shows up earlier in the match - hits Tyler Bate with a cheap shot.



Via Twitter, Carmelo Hayes hears Bron Breakker's message, then leaves the barber shop and says he cannot let Trick Williams handle his business by himself.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Dragon Lee. He says that Noam Dar only cares about himself and his Heritage Cup, then Noam Dar shows up on the nearby monitor, offering him an opportunity to be the special guest on the revival of Supernova Sessions and skyrocket his career. Dragon Lee says he will be at Supernova Sessions.



Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen beats Hank Walker and Tank Ledger. Near the end of the match, Tank Ledger loses a front tooth, and Tank spits it out and puts it in his singlet. Both teams shake hands after the match.



We hear from Lyra Valkyria, who says that one must evolve or be left behind and that she is not the same person from across the Atlantic from last year. She says three women have been marked on her road to the NXT Women's Championship, and Kiana James is the first.



It's time for Nathan Frazer Presents Hard Hitting Home Truths. Frazer talks about how seventeen NXT talents have moved to Raw and SmackDown, and that a world of talent are battling out for opportunities. Frazer then talks about how Noam Dar has carved out his own niche with the Heritage Cup and Supernova Sessions and how he was the show's first guest, then mentions the stark difference between his show and Noam's. He then brings up Noam Dar's strange behavior with the Heritage Cup before stating that Noam Dar will not have the Heritage Cup one day and that his world will come crashing down.



Lyra Valkyria beats Kiana James to advance to the semi-finals of the NXT Women's Championship Tournament.

Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) have drinks at the bar when they are met by Tony D'Angelo and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo. D'Angelo tells Gallus he and Stacks wants the next shot at the titles, then Joe Coffey produces a bat and says they have no business. D'Angelo says they will eave and that they will get their tag team title match, and after being surrounded by Gallus and four random men who are also in the bar, D'Angelo and Stacks leave.
