Generation NXT - NXT recap for September 3, 2024

Trick Williams heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Trick calls out Pete Dunne, saying Dunne started this and that he will end it. Instead of getting Pete Dunne, he gets "All Ego" Ethan Page instead. The crowd chants Joe Hendry's song as Ethan Page brags about being NXT Champion and says he should be opening the show. Trick tells Ethan he called his match down the middle, but tells him not to get too comfortable as he is coming back for "his" title. He then says he has unfinished business with Dunne. Ethan says the title is his and that he will be the one defending it in Chicago, Illinois, and that Trick will be lucky to make it to Chicago. Trick is suddenly attacked from behind by Pete Dunne, and Trick and Dunne brawl as referees rush into the ring.

Backstage, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger are confronted by Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang). Referees get between both teams before things get physical. Meanwhile, Jaida Parker is met by The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx), and this leads to Jazmyn Nyx challenging Jaida to a match.

Backstage, Blake Howard interviews Trick Williams, who says that he is ready for war with Pete Dunne when Dunne runs in and fights Trick. Officials rush in to stop the brawl.

Lexis King beats Oro Mensah after getting Oro riled up by saying that his father should have burned to ashes and pinning him with a stack-up pin while putting his feet on the middle rope for leverage. After the match, Oro chases Lexis to the back.

Backstage, Oba Femi meets with The D'Angelo Family (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Arianne Rizzo, Luca Crusifino). As Oba brags about beating Tony D'Angelo, Adriana Rizzo says it is not over between Oba and D'Angelo. Oro Mensah says that in many cultures, a woman is to be seen and not heard.

Oba takes this as a challenge, and D'Angelo says Stacks will take care of business tonight.

Backstage, No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey, Myles Borne, Wren Sinclair) come across an angry Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang), with Joe Coffey wanting revenge against Je'Von Evans for getting involved earlier tonight.

Charlie Dempsey reminds Wren Sinclair that one cannot just go out and challenge everyone and that one must stop and make a decision.

Tatum Paxley beats Rosemary. After the match, Tatum Paxley is attacked by Wendy Choo, who tries to put her in a sleeper. Paxley blocks the sleeper, but Rosemary hits Paxley with a Spear. All of a sudden, Lyra Valyria shows up in NXT for the first since being drafted to Raw and fights off Wendy and Rosemary. Tatum and Lyra hug afterwards.

After the match, Trick attacks Dunne with mounted punches, and both men continue to go at as referees and security try to break up the post-match brawl.

We hear from Ridge Holland, who talks about how Chase University (Andre Chase, Duke Hudson, Riley Osborne, Thea Hail) gave him a sense of purpose and belonging. As for why he destroyed Andre Chase and put him in the hospital, it is because Chase U won the big one but failed to keep it. He says that he brought them all back to prominence, but all they did was criticize every move he made, saying Duke Hudson "blew smoke out of his asshole" and that Riley Osborne was no different. Ridge says they failed without him, and that when they became a champion, they fell victim to mediocrity. He then says that NXT will not get the man he tried so hard not to be, and that the step by step destruction of Chase University begins next week and that he will enjoy it. He then stomps and smashes Duke Hudson's MVP trophy.

Backstage, Brooks Jensen is met by Shawn Spears, who thanks Jensen for attacking Malik Blade and Edris Enofé after they attacked him.

Backstage, Tatum Paxley is happy that Lyra Valkyria is back and has forgiven her. Lyra admits that they did not finish things on the best terms and that she would never return, but she could not help but keep her eye on her. She says she would rather fight with Tatum than against her, and that is time for Tatum to show "those weird girls" Wendy Choo and Rosemary how weird she really is.

She also says that the main roster cannot stop talking about her before giving Jaida Parker credit where credit is due, saying that while Jaida Parker is the future, what she herself has cannot be taught, produced or touched. As Roxanne says that nobody has the ability to take the NXT Women's Championship from her and that it will be her holding her title in the air as the smoke clears, Chelsea Green suddenly shows up. Chelsea mocks the fans, then says she is beloved by the fans and that she would do anything for her fans, except for the creepy ones, and says nobody will tell her who the real number one contender is. Giulia shows up, and Chelsea yells and points at her only to get beaten up. She then says "Me. You. CW." to Roxanne to end the show.
