Generation NXT - NXT recap for July 29, 2025

The show begins with a ten-bell salute and video package for Hulk Hogan. In memory of Hulk Hogan, 1953 - 2025.

Jaida Parker beats Jazmyn Nyx.

Backstage, Je'Von Evans runs into Shiloh Hill and Drake Morreaux, The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe), and Chase University (Andre Chase, Kale Dixon, Uriah Connors) as he heads to the ring.

Je'Von Evans heads to the ring. Je'Von says that last week was crazy after The Undertaker met with him and told him to take on the biggest dog in the yard, then says he might as well do it right now. Trick Williams shows up and says "the biggest dog has finally arrived," then warns him that he should not mess with him, as they have danced before and he came out on top. Je'Von says Trick should slow down, especially after The Undertaker choke slammed him to Hell, but Trick says he is still Total Nonstop Action World Champion and the biggest thing in TNA. Je'Von tells Trick he was really talking about Oba Femi and not him, but Trick Williams says Oba Femi wishes he was him and entertains taking what he has. Je'Von warns Trick he has no problem taking him out if he gets in his way. Suddenly, The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe) shows up, and Wes Lee says that while Je'Von will have his road to the championship, it will be long, for The High Ryze will stop him in his tracks. Je'Von says he will start tonight with Wes Lee, then punches Wes Lee in the face. The High Ryze and Trick gang up on Je'Von, then hold him down for a Kardiak Kick before Wes Lee says he will get with General Manager Ava and make the match official so he can lay Je'Von out.

Backstage, Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors are at the men's locker room with metal folding chair. They try to sneak in, but Hank Walker and Tank Ledger notice them. When they go in to attack, Hank and Tank agree to their challenge for the NXT tag team titles, stating that all they had to do was ask. Andre Chase shows up and is flabbergasted by Dixon and Connors' actions and apologizes, but Hank says he and Tank will get with General Manager Ava and make the match official.

Tavion Heights beats Charlie Dempsey. As per pre-match stipulation, Tavion Heights is now free to leave No Quarter Catch Crew, which now consists solely of Dempsey and Wren Sinclair. Both men shake hands after the match.

Backstage, Trick Williams and The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe) meet. As Trick focuses on becoming a double champion and Wes Lee focuses on Je'Von Evans, Total Nonstop Action Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and mentions his match with "All Ego" Ethan Page before telling Trick not to be too comfortable with the TNA World Championship, as it will be coming home soon.

Blake Monroe heads to the ring. Blake says that Jordynne Grace is not a superstar and is more of a background player, or as some would say, an extra. Blake continues to mock Jordynne through older pictures of her and claims that Jordynne sees "gym membership material" when she looks in a mirror. She then states that she considers herself "star power" and what to build a brand around, and that WWE knew about her before she started wrestling, and that when one looks as good as her, one does not need to change a thing. All of a sudden, Lola Vice shows up and says that while Blake is beautiful on the outside, she is ugly on the outside, then says that Blake Monroe will not be champion of the NXT women's division. As Lola says she knows how to make viral moments, Jaida Parker shows up and says she does not need anybody to make any kind of noise and that she is chasing championships and not clout. As Blake mocks both Lola and Jaida, Jordynne Grace's music hits, but Kelani Jordan shows up instead and says that she is the future and dares Blake to face her in a match, saying that on her best day, she cannot do it like her. Blake states that Kelani finally has a personality and threatens to put her in a medical facility with Jordynne Grace before headbutting her. This starts a brawl, and Lola and Kelani come out on top before Jaida shoves Blake away from her on the outside.

Backstage, Tatum Paxley tells Izzi Dame that she wants to challenge Sol Ruca after winning the biggest match of her career. Izzi says Tatum has to pin the champ first like she did, then Shawn Spears and Niko Vance show up and tell Tatum that she has her Women's North American Championship match. Izzi says that the three of them will be on hand to make sure that Tatum wins the title. Meanwhile, Luca Crusifino has been watching from a distance, and he says "No family lasts forever."

We hear from Lash Legend, who brags about her accomplishments in the Evolution Battle Royal before stating that she will soon have a clear path to the NXT Women's Championship.

Fallon Henley beats Lash Legend after Legend fends off Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) only to be attacked from behind by Nia Jax. After the match, Nia Jax attacks Lash Legend and hits the A-Nia-Lator.

Backstage, Yoshiki Inamura aggressively confronts Josh Briggs, and both of them have to be held back. Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo tells Yoshiki that family and honor do not exist in the business and that everyone eventually betrays you. Inamura slaps Stacks and tells him he will show him honor next week.

Je'Von Evans beats Wes Lee in a match that also sees interference from Tyson DuPont and Tyriek Igwe. After the match, Oba Femi is on the balcony as Trick Williams is on the outside.

Backstage, Vic Joseph interviews Myles Borne. Myles talks about how he was born deaf and how he almost died soon after he was born, how he had to learn to read lips and how he has learned to block the hate out with people like Lexis King.

As General Manager Ava gets injury updates from Robert Stone and Stevie Turner - Ricky Starks will be back in no time following a bruised sternum, while Jordynne Grace has avoided serious spinal injuries - Lexis King shows up and says Myles Borne is not really deaf and is being "a con man," saying that if Myles is deaf, then he is blind as a bat. Lexis gets a match against Myles Borne next week, and Lexis says he looks forward to proving that Myles is a fraud in the ring as much as he is out of it.

In backstage footage from during the break, Nia Jax shows up as Fatal Influence argue to brag that Lash Legend got dropped and does not measure up.

"All Ego" Ethan Page retains the NXT North American Championship agianst Santino Marella after using the referee as a human shield against the Cobra before thumbing Santino in the eyes and hitting Twisted Grin to win and retain.

The show ends with Tony D'Angelo at his home. As he prepares to eat, he is approached by someone.
