Generation NXT - NXT recap for June 3, 2025

Laredo Kid is already in the ring as Je'Von Evans enters it to start tonight's show. "All Ego" Ethan Page then makes his entrance and calls their summit "a farce," then says Je'Von and Laredo are standing in his ring when he should be celebrating. Instead, he has to share the ring with them, defend his title, then defend it again against "Super" Sean Legacy, all of which Ricky Saints agreed to, not him. Laredo and Je'Von remind Ethan that they still have unfinished business, then Legacy shows up. Legacy looks forward to his title shot and hopes it is not against Ethan; nevertheless, he looks forward to being a double champion. All of a sudden, The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake) shows up and mocks Legacy, stating that Jackson Drake will take care of Legacy tomorrow night on Evolve. After Brad Baylor tells Ethan Page that they have his back, Ethan attacks Legacy from behind, starting one big brawl that security has to stop.

AAA Megas Champion El Hijo del Vikingo is seen in the crowd.

DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Osiris Griffin) beat Chase University (Andre Chase, Kale Dixon, Uriah Connors) in a six-man tag match.

Backstage, General Manager Ava meets with Laredo Kid, Je'Von Evans and "Super" Sean Legacy and puts them in an eight-man tag match against "All Ego" Ethan Page and The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake).

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Trick Santana, who says that while Mike Santana is the standard in Total Nonstop Action, he has changed the standard and is now in charge. He says he will take the TNA World Championship to new levels, and tonight, it stays with him.

In footage from last week, Tyra Mae Steele talks about her time in WWE LFG with the rest of the women's locker room. Arianna Grace shows up and tells Tyra not to talk about herself so much, as nobody likes a bragger. When Arianna leaves, Tyra says she has found her first opponent.

Myles Borne beats Charlie Dempsey two falls to one (2-1) in a Rounds Match. As per pre-match stipulation, Myles Borne is able to leave No Quarter Catch Crew (Dempsey, Myles, Tavion Heights, Wren Sinclair). Myles Borne scores the first fall with seven seconds (:07) left in Round 1 with a sit-down pin. After the end of Round 2, Charlie Dempsey hits a knee to Myles Borne's ribs after the bell. This allows Dempsey to pin Myles with a Fisherman's suplex 25 seconds (:25) into Round 3. Myles scores the third and deciding fall with fourteen seconds (:14) left in Round 4 following the drop kick to win the match and leave No Quarter Catch Crew.

Backstage, Izzi Dame attacks Brooks Jenning with a metal folding chair as the rest of The Culling (Shawn Spears, Jenning, Niko Vance) meets.

Tyra Mae Steele beats Arianna Grace.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Mike Santana, who says that he will take time to reflect after he wins the Total Nonstop Action World Championship, then says he saw a pretender who fights for no one but himself in Trick Williams' eyes. He says he will fight not only for his people and his baby daughter, but also for TNA. He says that Trick is great, but he must be three seconds greater.

The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) heads to the ring. Jacy says all is right in the universe now that The Fatal Influence is on top where they belong, and after pulling off the biggest upset in history, the reaction on the fans' faces said it all. Jacy says that everyone was shocked but her, as the fans underestimated her for years. She says that she and Fallon started together, and after a long conversation, they decided to run the play. All of a sudden, Lainey Reed shows up and calls Jacy the most beatable champion of all time. Lola Vice shows up and says it is time to win the title, then Jordynne Grace shows up. Jordynne says she had a plan, but it appears anything can happen. Jaida Parker shows up wanting the title, as does Kelani Jordan, who says she has beaten Jacy before. Lash Legend shows up and tells Kelani to shut up, then says everyone else has had their turn and will be the one to take Jacy's title. Thea Hail shows up and starts a brawl on the outside while The Fatal Influence watch, and security quickly moves in. The lights then go out, and when they come back on, "The Glamour" Mariah May suddenly shows up on the balcony. Mariah announces that she has finally arrived, and tells The Fatal Influence that they can call her the next NXT Women's Champion, as the best women's division in the world "has got a lot more glamorous."

Evolve Prime Minister Stevie Turner meets with the rest of the Evolve women's division backstage. Kali Armstrong notices that so many people are stepping up to Jacy Jayne, and wants to know who will step up to her for her title on Evolve.

Backstage, Sol Ruca and Zaria meet with Tatum Paxley again when Izzi Dame shows up and says that Tatum should be purging people who are not true to her like she has done in the past.

Backstage, Luca Crusifino meets with Tony D'Angelo, saying he has made a move to get D'Angelo to trust him: a match with The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe) next week. D'Angelo does not appreciate Crusifino going over his head for the family, but Crusifino says they are not really a family right now.

Elijah is in the crowd to wish Mike Santana luck before the next match.

Trick Williams retains the Total Nonstop Action World Championship against Mike Santana. Near the end of the match, Santana goes for Spin The Block, but Trick Williams rolls out of the ring. Trick then encounters Elijah in the front row and breaks his guitar.

They send Santana back into the ring, and Trick hits a Meteora to the back followed by the Trick Shot to win and retain.
