Generation NXT - NXT recap for February 18, 2025

Oba Femi heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Oba says the four men who jumped him at Vengeance Day did not finish the job, as he is still standing unfazed after their best shot. He then calls the four men out so they can finish what they started. All of a sudden, TNA X Division Champion Moose shows up, and says he has burst the bubble Oba Femi is living under because he is the one man he cannot rule over. Oba says this is Moose's bubble, because he is inevitable in NXT. Moose says that Moose vs. Oba Femi must happen.

In footage from earlier today, Eddy Thorpe talks with General Manager Ava when Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors offer invitations to their party, and when they see Thorpe, they want him to be their DJ. Andre Chase is brought up, and when Thorpe says Chase will bring them down, Kale says that Chase would have beaten him in the strap match before he and Uriah challenge Thorpe to a match against Chase tonight.

Karmen Petrovic beats Kelani Jordan and Jaida Parker in a Triple Threat Match to become #1 contender for the NXT Women's North American Championship after Ashante "Thee" Adonis pulls Karmen out of a top rope splash attempt by Kelani, then throws her back into the ring to pick the bones after Jaida hits Kelani with a hip drop in the corner. After the match, Jaida gets her hands on Karmen, then Kelani attacks Jaida and the two of them go at it before officials arrive. The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) then shows up and attacks Karmen as Ashante calls for help from the back. After the break, The Fatal Influence is seen brawling with Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer, and Jordynne Grace rushes in to even the numbers game. Jordynne says she came to NXT to be part of the best women's division in wrestling, and now that she is in the middle of it, she does not want to waste a single second. She then challenges The Fatal Influence to a six-woman tag match with her, Giulia and Vaquer.

Backstage, Adrianne Rizzo and Luca Crusifino meet with Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, who says that he is ready to handle some family business on his own.

Sol Ruca and Zaria beat Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson).

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Wes Lee, Tyriek Igwe and Tyson Dupont. Wes Lee says anyone can show up and anything can happen at any time when Ricky Starks suddenly shows up. Sarah interviews him, and Starks says he will answer everyone's questions in the ring as Wes Lee takes offense to the sudden cut-off.

General Manager Ava heads to the ring for Ricky Starks' NXT contract signing. Starks shows up right after Ava. Starks admits he has not been here long, but NXT has been amazing, then talks with the fans before he signs the contract. Starks says that the dream of making it to NXT, main eventing its premium live events and winning the NXT Championship has become reality, and that he has become the man in NXT. He says he will always show up and show out, and that the revolution begins. Before he can sign the contract, "All Ego" Ethan Page shows up and calls him a genius for following the "Ethan Page playbook" to a tee and says there is only one Ethan Page. Ricky says he got Ethan Page in the feelings because he knows the spotlight is not big enough for both of them, and says he is wearing his insecurity as tightly as his jacket. As Starks says he will take NXT to the next level, Ethan says he will not measure up to the bar that he has raised. Starks congratulates Ethan on his win against Je'Von Evans, but warns him that Je'Von has the dog in him and that he will come back around and whip his ass. As Ethan takes this as Starks coming to Je'Von's rescue and boasts that Je'Von could not even walk himself to the arena tonight, Je'Von suddenly shows up and brawls with Ethan in the crowd. Starks goes back to signing the contract when Wes Lee shows up and tells him that there are some rules around here, with rule #1 being that you do not disrespect him. He says signing the contact might be a good idea, but if he does, he will be the one to show him the ropes. Starks asks why everyone is angry, then says Wes Lee and Ethan Page are two peas in the same pod and challenges him to a match net week. He tells Wes Lee he will welcome him to the revolution, then cracks Wes Lee in the face before officials show up to hold Wes Lee back. We then find out Starks' new name is "Ricky Saints."

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Nathan Frazer and Axiom. As Frazer is fired up about being attacked by four mystery men, Axiom says they are trying to figure out who attacked them. No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey, Myles Borne, Tavion heights, Wren Sinclair) shows up, and Tavion Heights and Myles Borne challenge not Frazer and Axiom, but The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy), next week.

Backstage, Ricky Saints notices several people laid out. He says "Damn! This place is crazy!" and walks off.

Shawn Spears beats Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo after Stacks lands back-first following a top rope missile drop kick and Spears hits him with an Ushigaroshi followed by the C4.

Backstage, Moose meets Lexis King and gives him credit for standing up to Oba Femi, but takes offense to TNA talent showing up and not defending their titles. Moose says that if Lexis King wants a title shot, he has one. Meanwhile, Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors are met by Andre Chase, who takes offense to Kale and Uriah speaking on his behalf, and when Kale and Uriah mention Eddy Thorpe talking down on Chase University, Chase briefly gets fired up but soon calms down when he realizes "Chase U is dead."

Eddy Thorpe beats Andre Chase after Chase almost starts a "Chase U" spelling chant only to realize Chase University no longer exists. After the match, Trick Williams shows up on the TitanTron and says it is not over between them until he says it is, and says that if he is going down, he is brining Thorpe down with him.

Backstage, Ricky Saints speaks with General Manager Ava when they both run into "All Ego" Ethan Page, who is still furious that Je'Von Evans jumped him. Wes Lee shows up and confronts Saints, then Je'Von Evans jumps in with security guards also showing up. Ava makes a tag match between the team of Ethan and Wes and the team of Je'Von and Saints.

We hear from The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). Matt is surprised that they were called out by No Quarter Catch Crew (Tavion Heights and Myles Borne), and Jeff says they should accept their challenge, as it is 2025 and they are still changing the game. They also invite Nathan Frazer and Axiom to watch and see why they are still the best tag team of all time.

Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia and Jordynne Grace beat The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) in a six-woman tag match.

It is revealed that the four mystery men have attacked Robert Stone. The words "NO ONE IS SAFE" is spray painted on a nearby wall.
