Generation NXT - NXT recap for February 25, 2025

Stephanie Vaquer retains the NXT Women's North American Championship against Karmen Petrovic. After the match, Giulia shows up and congratulates Vaquer, then says that while Vaquer considers herself the best champion, she is the NXT Women's Champion. She proposes that they find out who the best woman is, and Vaquer is in for a title vs. title match.

In footage from earlier today, NXT-TNA Liaison Arianna Grace and TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella talk about the TNA-related matches for tonight. All of a sudden, Lola Vice shows up and says she is looking for a fight, and when Arianna takes her into consideration, Lola takes it as Arianna wanting a fight and tells her that she will see her tonight.

Backstage, Lexis King runs into Oba Femi and says that while everyone wants Oba to take on Moose, he has the home field advantage and that everybody will be talking about his match.

Moose retains the Total Nonstop Action X Division Championship against Lexis King. After the match, Oba Femi shows up and congratulates Moose, then challenges Moose to a title vs. title match at Roadblock in two weeks.

We see a vignette for Shawn Spears, Brooks Jensen, Niko Vance and Izzi Dame. Shawn Spears brags about guiding young Superstars and how he has transformed Jensen, then brings up the strengths of Niko and izzi and states that his family is complete. Spears then says that all that is left is taking the NXT North American Championship away from Tony D'Angelo.

We see Instagram video from Arianna Grace of Kelani Jordan and Jaida Parker almost going at it on a bus when Kelani talks about Jaida to Arianna.

Jordynne Grace heads to the ring. Jordynne says that when she steps into an NXT ring for the first time last year, she knew where she belonged, even as she held TNA on her back, but the more time she spent in NXT, the more she wanted to be a part of it. She says that when it came time to put pen to paper, she did not hesitate, as she wanted to be the champion of the best women's division in the world. Jordynne says that the last time she stood in the ring, it was between two women nobody knew before, but she believes that Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer felt the shift of the foundation that began to crack when she arrived. She says it is only a matter of time before she stands across the ring from one of them, then Roxanne Perez shows up and welcomes Jordynne back. Roxanne says it was only a matter of time before Jordynne "outgrew TNA" and that she came to the place to be and be part of the division that she made famous. She also says that she has also had NXT on her back for the last twelve months, and says it is one thing to be "a big fish in a small pond," but warns her that she is in her division and that she does not call the shots. Jordynne asks where Roxanne's title is if this is her division. Roxanne says that she can send her back to TNA and that the gap between them is still there, which is why she will win the Elimination Chamber and going to WrestleMania to become Women's World Champion. Roxanne says she will then come back and become a three-time NXT Women's Champion to become "Roxxy Two Belts." Jordynne says "Everyone has a plan, until," then punches Roxanne in the face.

Backstage, Trick Williams is met by Je'Von Evans. As Je'Von tries to tell Trick not to let things get him down, Trick gets angry at him, saying Je'Von is fighting over a smile while he is fighting over a title. Ricky Saints shows up and introduces himself to Trick, and Trick gives him a fist bump before leaving. Ricky wonders if everyone is angry all the time in NXT.

We find out that the four mystery men are in the buiding from a recent Instagram video from earlier tonight.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat No Quarter Catch Crew (Myles Borne and Tavion Heights). During the match, Nathan Frazer and Axiom show up to get a closer look at the match from the entrance ramp. After the match, Axiom congratulates The Hardys on winning and welcomes them to NXT. Matt says he is loving NXT so far, then says that Nathan Frazer and Axiom are killing it on an incredible run. Frazer says he and Axiom are the best tag team today standing in front of the best tag team of all time, and Jeff Hardy proposes a tag team match. Suddenly, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up, and says that he has been talking with General Manager Ava. He announces that both teams will face each other for the Total Nonstop Action World Tag Team Championships at Roadblock.

At the restaurant, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo says he was in control until Shawn Spears' family (Brooks Jenson, Niko Vance, Izzi Dame) got involved. Tony D'Angelo shows up, and Stacks tries to apologize to him. D'Angelo says he cannot win them all, then says he had to lay low and make things right. He also says he appreciates Stacks standing up for the family, then says he has to handle business next week, despite not being in the best condition.

In footage from over the weekend, Sol Ruca and Zaria are in the trainer's room for Zaria's sprained wrist when Piper Niven shows up and demands the trainer's room be cleared for Chelsea Green. Zaria and Sol Ruca stand up to her, and this leads to a challenge to a tag team match next week.

It is revealed that The No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey, Myles Borne, Tavion Heights) has been attacked by the four mystery men backstage.

We hear from Eddy Thorpe. He talks about how his people used to be part of the land that Cleveland, Ohio is on until they were forced out by a higher authority. He then brags about beating Trick Williams in a strap match, yet still says he is treated like the bad guy, and says that if he has to do this again, then all Trick has to do is name the time and place.

General Manager Ava announces Roadblock in two weeks, and makes official Stephanie Vaquer vs. Giulia in a title vs. title match for the NXT Women's and Women's North American Championships for the event.
