Generation NXT - NXT recap for February 10, 2026

Joe Hendry heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Hendry admitted he had a bit of doubt in last week's ladder match and that he was on the outside looking up at Ricky Saints, but as Saints climbed up the ladder, he heard the words "We Believe," and the fans gave him the energy to get back up and win. Hendry says he sent Saints crashing down the ladder along with any doubts that he had and became NXT Champion, and in that reason, he realized he had no reason to doubt himself and that the climb happened long before the match. He says that the climb does not stop and that he is just getting started, then he is interrupted by The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake). Jackson Drake says that Joe Hendry is "mid" at best and says that Hendry goes viral for his music while he goes viral just for looking good, and says he should have never been in the ladder match to begin with. Drake says The Vanity Project took Hendry out because he disrespected them and because he did not belong, and Hendry says they not only failed, but they could have been successful if they coordinated their attacks as well as their wardrobe. Jackson Drake then makes it clear that he wants the NXT Championship, and Hendry says he has no problem kicking Drake's ass and defending the title. He punches Drake when Drake takes a shot at him, but the numbers game takes over. Hendry is laid out, and Drake mocks Hendry while holding up the NXT Championship.

Backstage, Sol Ruca tries to make up with Zaria, and Zaria wants to know when it is her time before saying that the two of them should stay out of each others' way.

We hear from Jaida Parker, who says that if Blake Monroe wanted her attention and wanted a fight, then she has gotten both.

Backstage, Keanu Carver confronts Interim General Manager Robert Stone for giving Jackson Drake a title shot before him. Stone says that if Shawn Michaels want chaos, then he will get chaos. Carver says that if he wants chaos, then say no more. Stone stops Keanu Carver at first, but relents.

Jaida Parker vs. Blake Monroe ends in a double count-out. Both women continue to slug it out after the match, and Jaida tries to hit Blake Monroe with Hip-Notic back in the ring only to take out a referee with it. Jaida tries to chase Blake through the crowd, and when security stops her, Jaida lays them out, even kicking one security guard in the groin before booting him through the barricade.

We see a vignette for Tatum Paxley, who says that she lost sight of who she was as part of The Culling (Shawn Spears, Niko Vance, Izzi Dame), but when she let go, she finally realized that things slowed down and the noise had disappeared. She says that her feud with Izzi Dame is not about control, but clarity, and when it is over, she will be the person she was meant to be.

Backstage, Kale Dixon chews out Uriah Connors for walking out on Chase University. Uriah says that Andre Chase held him back, then Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Arianna Grace and Lexis King show up. Kale Dixon leaves, and Arianna Grace says that Kale and Chase will never understand Uriah's frustration like they do. Uriah says he wanted to separate himself from his father, but realizes that this was a mistake and that he was born for this business. Lexis King says that that they now need one more piece of the puzzle.

The masked man from the upcoming movie "Psycho Killer" is seen in the front row.

A referee then shows up and says something is happening, and when everyone else leaves, Lola is attacked from behind by Kelani. We then find out that Keanu Carver has taken out multiple people backstage.

DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) is in the ring. Dion Lennox says that they belong in the main event, and while he came up short, it is only a matter of time before he is NXT Champion and that whoever wins it will be in his sights until the title is his. Cutler James says Lennox is a future NXT Champion, then mentions that Tony D'Angelo has sent threatening words in their direction after they left him with nothing. He says DarkState is stronger than ever while D'Angelo is lonelier than ever, and tells D'Angelo do his soul searching somewhere else. Osiris and Saquon says that whoever messes with them will get put down, and Saquon warns The Culling (Shawn Spears and Niko Vance) that they do not want a piece of them. All of a sudden, Shawn Spears and Niko Vance are on the balcony, and Spears that they are smarter than to take them on 4-on-2, and Niko Vance says that what they did to them is a taste of what is to come and that they have come to purge them of the tag team titles. All of a sudden, the lights go out, and a spotlight is on the crowd. Bronco Nima is in the crowd, and says the tag team titles are not safe. Lucien Price shows up in the crowd and says the tag team titles belong to OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price) and that OTM is not missing twice. Hank Walker and Tank Ledger show up and says the tag team titles also belong to them. This starts a brawl, and Tony D'Angelo shows up to decimate DarkState from out of nowhere.

Backstage, Kelly Kincaid interviews Interim General Manager Robert Stone, who makes OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price) vs. The Culling (Shawn Spears and Niko Vance) vs. Hank Walker and Tank Ledger for #1 contendership of the NXT tag titles official for next week. He meets with Shiloh Hill in his office, but Ethan Page shows up to talk business. Shiloh leaves, but accidentally leaves his machete on the desk, and Ethan says he is tied for the most defenses of the North American Championship and wants to break that record. Shiloh comes back to get his machete, and ends up walking right into a North American title shot.

Joe Hendry retains the NXT Championship against Jackson Drake. After the match, Joe Hendry is attacked from out of nowhere by Ricky Saints. Saints then stands over Hendry and holds up the NXT Championship.

The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor and "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes) beat Hank Walker and Tank Ledger after OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price) and The Culling (Shawn Spears and Niko Vance) show up with security holding them back. Jackson Drake hits Tank Ledger with a drop kick to the head as the referee is preoccupied, giving The Vanity Project the win.

Sol Ruca and Zaria beat Wren Sinclair and Kendal Grey in an NXT Women's Championship #1 contender's tag team match. Sol Ruca scores the pinfall and #1 contendership after Zaria is superkicked into Sol Ruca, which the referees counts as a tag, and Sol Ruca hits Kendal Grey with a Sol Snatcher as Zaria hits Wren Sinclair with an F5 to get the pin, the win and the title shot, much to Zaria's chagrin.
