Generation NXT - NXT recap for December 3, 2024

Wren Sinclair beats Cora Jade, Jaida Parker and Kelani Jordan in a Last Chance Women's Iron Survivor Qualifier after Lola Vice shows up and hits Sinclair with a spinning back fist meant for Jaida Parker, who soon brawls with Lola.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Eddy Thorpe, who says that he is competing tonight because the tapes showed that he did nothing wrong last week. Lexis King shows up and tells Eddy to learn to control his temper, but Eddy takes this as patronizing and has none of it.

Jaida Parker returns to the ring and calls out Lola Vice for an NXT Underground match, wanting the match right now. After the commercial break, Jaida Parker is in the ring as the turnbuckles are being broken down, continuing to call Lola out. General Manager Ava says she is willing to do this, but not tonight, and makes the match official for Deadline. Lola shows up, saying Jaida's ego did her the biggest favor and that she will knock her out. Jaida then tosses the brick in her hands to Lola, saying she does not need it, and knocks Lola out with a back elbow.

Karmen Petrovic talks with Dion Lennox and Brinley Reece regarding Ashante "Thee" Adonis. All of a sudden, someone delivers roses to Karmen Petrovic with a note where Ashante apologizes to Karmen and wishes her luck tonight.

Myles Borne last eliminates Tank Ledger and Lucien Price within seconds to win the #1 Contenders' Tag Team Battle Royal. No Quarter Catch Crew (Myles Borne and Tavion heights) are #1 contenders for the NXT Tag Team Championships at Deadline.

Eric Bischoff heads to the ring. Bischoff talks about how he has always been on the cutting edge of professional wrestling with WCW Monday Nitro and The New World Order, and says that when he walked into NXT's doors, the feeling was awesome and it felt like a revolution. He says that the Superstars of NXT have the potential to take the business into the stratosphere, then introduces Ridge Holland and Trick Williams into the ring. Bischoff says the tension between them is palpable, with Ridge reminding him of wrestlers from his childhood that took no prisoners and said whatever they wanted while Trick is "the evolution of the revolution." After Bischoff says he cannot wait to see what happens between them, Ridge calls Trick "a stand up comedian" and an insult to the vision of what NXT should be. He says that Bischoff can sing Trick's praises and the fans can cheer Trick all they want, but when he becomes NXT Champion, he will not have to listen to anyone regarding anything about him, because NXT's future will be in his hands and will go where he says it will go. Trick says Ridge may be "built like a fridge," but he is unoriginal and boring and he has no problem taking his jewelry off and giving him "a cold ass-whupping," saying Ridge does not have what he has. Ridge says he proved what he was about when he dismantled Chase University and that he will prove it when he beats Trick, then says he is not caught in Trick's aura and that Trick is soft compared to him. Ridge says that he will put Trick down at Deadline and leave as NXT Champion. Trick counters Ridge calling him soft by hitting him with the microphone, starting a brawl. Ridge then breaks down the announce table and hits Trick with a DDT on top of it, and referees have to separate both men to call for medical attention for Trick. Trick has to be put on a stretcher as the show goes to break.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber states that Trick Williams has been taken to the hospital and that General Manager Ava has joined Trick in the ambulance, and that the status of Ridge Holland vs. Trick for the NXT Championship at Deadline is now up in the air.

Karmen Petrovic beats Nikkita Lyons after Ashante "Thee" Adonis helps Karmen up from the apron and pushes her out of the way of a right hand by Nikkita, which allows Karmen to hit the Silent Slice for the win. After the match, Karmen gets mad at Adonis for pushing her.

Backstage, Shawn Spears congratulates Niko Vance on taking out Tony D'Angelo, then tells him and Brooks Jensen that with the talent that they have, they can achieve even more, and that they are missing one more thing. Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin pass by, and Shawn Spears tells Gigi that he looks forward to her return match and will be watching.

Backstage, Charlie Dempsey congratulates the rest of No Quarter Catch Crew (Tavion Heights, Myles Borne, Wren Sinclair) on a job well done so far, and everyone else says it is time to bring home the gold.

Gigi Dolin beats Izzi Dame as Shawn Spears watches from the ramp.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Je'Von Evans when X-Pac shows up and says he has been watching Je'Von, then says that Je'Von Evans has a big shot in the men's Iron Survivor Challenge and that he believes in him.

"All Ego" Ethan Page guests on commentary for the next match, Wes Lee watches from the balcony, and Je'Von Evans watches from the crowd.

Eddy Thorpe beats Lexis King, Axiom and Cedric Alexander to qualify for the men's Iron Survivor Challenge after Cedric and Axiom go for the pin on Lexis King only for Eddy Thorpe to stop both pinfall attempts and pin Lexis himself to qualify.

Backstage, after Cora Jade gets mad at Stevie Turner and Robert Stone and leaves, Eddy Thorpe shows up and asks them to thank General Manager Ava for not suspending him, because now he is going to get the job done and win the Iron Survivor Challenge.

Roxanne Perez heads to the ring. Roxanne says the women's Iron Survivor Challenge will be life-changing for whoever wins it, then says it is not going to be easy because everyone is fighting to be second place compared to her. She congratulates Wren Sinclair on qualifying earlier tonight before stating that she or anyone else will not be able to beat her when it counts for the NXT Women's Championship. Sol Ruca shows up, followed by Zaria, Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia. Roxanne says all four of them have to get through each other before they can get to her, and all four women brawl before Wren Sinclair shows up and pulls Roxanne out of the ring. Security and officials rush in to restore order as the show ends, then it is revealed that Eddy Thorpe has been attacked backstage. (The attack on Eddy Thorpe is cut off on some CW affiliates due to the nightly news.)
