Generation NXT - NXT recap for March 18, 2025

Chelsea Green retains the WWE Women's United States Championship against Sol Ruca following Sol Ruca taking out Piper Niven for tackling Zaria for attacking Isla Dawn for putting Chelsea's feet on the rope from the outside as well as targeting Sol Ruca's left knee throughout the match.

Backstage, Je'Von Evans talks with Trick Williams regarding the attacks from the four mystery men, saying that no one is safe and that this is "our NXT." Trick Williams is still focused on what he has going on, tells him that it is everyone for themselves, and that Je'Von will never be him and never be champion before telling him to tighten up and leaving. Lexis King shows up and says that he can at least see Trick's point, but when he says Je'Von can eat solid food again but should really be sucking it through a straw, Je'Von punches him in the mouth.

The D'Angelo Family (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino, Adriana Rizzo) gets ready for their match when Tony D'Angelo shows up. Stacks asks Tony D'Angelo to stay in the back, as Shawn Spears will get desperate if The Culling (Niko Vance, Brooks Jensen, Izzi Dame) starts losing. D'Angelo is proud of Stacks for "thinking like an underboss" and says that Stacks has everything handled.

Stephanie Vaquer heads to the ring. Stephanie says that wrestling is her first language and that being a double champion proves it, and while she had the freedom to choose any brand, she chose NXT so she could make history in the best women's division on the planet. She says that she proved why she is "La Primera" when she beat one of the best in Giulia, and that holding both of NXT's women's titles make her the best of the best. As Stephanie awaits her first opponent, Jordynne Grace shows up and congratulates Stephanie, then reminds her that she beat Roxanne Perez, who elevated the NXT Women's Championship to a different level. As Jordynne says this victory puts her first in line, she is suddenly attacked by Jaida Parker. Jaida Parker says Jordynne is first in line for nothing and that the line starts behind her, and that she is not waiting until Stand & Deliver to make a point because she is shooting her own shots. She congratulates Stephanie and tells her to bask in her own glory, as it will not last long much longer, and she is standing ten toes down looking in her eyes for a fight and she will make her reap what she sows.

Backstage, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger talk about their match with The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) as they get themselves fired up for their match tonight.

Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura beat Hank Walker and Tank Ledger.

Backstage, Eddy Thorpe enters the locker room only for everyone but Ridge Holland to run away. Eddy talks with Ridge, saying nobody accepts either of them, but it does not matter. Ridge says he likes Thorpe's attitude, as they have put years to this company only to be cast aside for new toys like Ricky Saints. Thorpe says that Trick Williams is "a sports entertainer," just like Ricky Saints. Ridge says he will deal with business tonight much like how Thorpe will deal with his.

The Culling (Niko Vance, Brooks Jensen, Izzi Dame) beats The D'Angelo Family (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino, Adriana Rizzo) in a six-person tag match after Tony D'Angelo is attacked backstage by the four masked mystery men.

Backstage, Stephanie Vaquer gets a match against Jaida Parker for the NXT Women's Championship next week from General Manager Ava. Fallon Henley shows up wanting her NXT Women's North American title rematch, and Stephanie gives Fallon her rematch, making the two matches a back-to-back affair when Fallon states that if Stephanie is the best, then she will have no problem facing her after facing Jaida.

Jacy Jayne beats Karmen Petrovic after Ashante "Thee" Adonis hands a metal folding chair to Karmen only for Karmen to toss it back to him, which soon leads to Jacy Jayne hitting the Rolling Encore for the win.

Backstage, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger rue their loss tonight, and Tank says he does not know what to do anymore. Hank says they need to talk to teams who are on the level they want to be on, but Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe show up and tell them to stick to eating contests.

Backstage, we hear from Jaida Parker, who says that she has her NXT Women's Championship match and that Jordynne Grace messed around and found out that nobody is getting her way of championship gold. She plans to leave her match against Stephanie Vaquer as champion. Meanwhile, Ashante "Thee" Adonis and Karmen Petrovic are seen arguing in the background.

Ricky Saints beats Ridge Holland.

We see the four mystery men backstage, unmasked. Dion Lennox is one of them, and says that they are tired of paying their dues and waiting for their chance. Cutler James is another of them, and says that they are game changers. A third says that they are re-arranging things, and a fourth says that they are known as "Darkstate" and that nobody is safe. They then go back into the arena to do some more damage and truly make a statement.

Backstage, Kelly Kincaid interviews Ricky Saints, who says that he will deliver on his promises and that includes winning championship gold. The Culling (Shawn Spears, Niko Vance, Brooks Jensen, Izzi Dame) shows up, and Izzi Dame says that Saints may have the courage and charisma of a larger man, then looks down when she says he does not measure up. Saints says that he always measures up in the right places, then The Culling leave.

Trick Williams beats Eddy Thorpe by TKO in an NXT Underground Match with the Trick Shot followed by a ground and pound. After the match, Trick Williams calls out Oba Femi. Oba Femi shows up, and he and Trick have a staredown before the lights go out. Suddenly, Darkstate show up from out of the crowd, then Je'Von Evans shows up in the ring. Trick shoves Je'Von, Oba and Trick brawl, then everyone around the ring starts breaking up the brawl. Oba and Femi beat up everyone, then go back to fighting each other before Je'Von hits Oba with a cutter. Meanwhile, Darkstate have never left the crowd, and they love what they see. The show ends with Je'Von and Trick having a staredown in the middle of the ring.
