Generation NXT - NXT recap for October 26, 2016

#DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) beat Hoho Lun and Tian Bing to continue to the next round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. They will face The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) in Round 2.



We find out that Kota Ibushi will be teaming with TJ Perkins in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Ibushi says that respect has brought them together. Perkins says that he has been in the ring with Ibushi before, and that he has brought out the best in him. He hopes that they will bring out the best in each other.



Samoa Joe says he was walking to the ring and testing the perimeter, seeing if anything he's done in NXT has had an effect. He says they've had a great effect. He and "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura have destroyed each other, and says that Shinsuke Nakamura is scared of him and watching his back as he could put him out for a very long time.

Aliyah beats Billie Kay with a schoolgirl when Liv Morgan goes after Peyton Royce, distracting Billie. Liv Morgan goes after Billie after the match, and Peyton makes it a 2-on-1 beating on Liv until Aliyah makes the save. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce come out on top, however, and take both Liv and Aliyah out.

"The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger beats Noah Potjes. After the match, Dillinger says that the only glorious thing that Bobby Roode has done is run. He is then attacked from behind by Roode as if on cue, and Bobby Roode tells Dillinger that if he wants him, he's got him.

TM61 (Nick Miller and Shane Thorne) says they are prepared for Austin Aries and Roderick Strong. They are a great team, and consider themselves a very cohesive unit. They say that they are the team to win the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Asuka beats Thea Trinidad with a Fujiwara Arm Bar. General Manager William Regal shows up after the match, and congratulates her for her progress in NXT. He then announces that her opponent at NXT TakeOver: Toronto in a NXT Women's Championship is none other than Mickie James, who has not been seen in WWE for quite some time. Mickie tells Asuka that unless she's beaten her, she's beaten nobody, and that she plans to make NXT TakeOver: Toronto an international incident.



Paul Ellering is talking with The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) when he is interviewed. He says the puzzle is complete, and it is The Authors of Pain. He has a plan and a strategy, and they will execute his strategy. As for No Way Jose and Rich Swann, they have a fine future ahead of them in NXT, but they will not advance in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic at the Authors' expense. We then hear Akam and Rezar speak for the first time.

Next week on NXT: SAnitY (Eric Young, Nikki Cross, Sawyer Fulton, Alexander Wulfe) appears in the second round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic!

TJ Perkins and Kota Ibushi beat Mustafi Ali and Lince Dorado with a knee bar to Ali from Perkins to continue to the next round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for October 26, 2016

Dario Cueto is in his office looking at reports when Sexy Star shows up. He tells Dario that he and his brother Matanza Cueto do not scare her, and wants her shot at the Lucha Underground Championship next week. Dario Cueto says the match is official, but reminds her that she will be defending the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship tonight against Johnn Mundo tonight. Sexy Star says Johnny Mundo will be a nice warm-up for her. Dario Cueto tells her that if Drago, Aerostar or Fenix interfere, they will be banned from the temple forever. Sexy Star says she won't need their help tonight or next week, and tells Dario Cueto to be ready to crown the first-even Lucha Underground Champion. After she leaves, Dario says that Sexy Star won't fare well against Matanza.

Marty "The Moth" Martinez beats Ivelisse. But after the match, Ivelisse's boyfriend shows up and fights both Martinez and Mariposa until the numbers game catches up with him. A frustrated Ivelisse has no choice but to make the save, and Ivelisse and her boyfriend up coming out on top in this brawl. Ivelisse and her boyfriend then run into each other, and the boyfriend says that he is sorry and hugs her.

Someone has followed the White Rabbit back to his roots...to his tribe. He is lost...but he is found. Who is this man?

Ivelisse tells her boyfriend that she didn't want him here, but he tells Ivelisse that Dario Cueto gave him a chance to compete, and he took it as he has always wanted to hurt people for money. He says that the couple that slays together, stays together. Ivelisse isn't buying it, but the boyfriend says this won't be like her and the other guy and that the temple will make them stronger. Ivelisse tells him that Dario Cueto is a piece of crap, and if they have to fight each other, she'll kick his ass.

Dario Cueto gets in a limo. He is told "the ascension is now complete," and is asked if he has found "the next host body." He says he has. Dario Cueto is then given a metal box. We then learn that this is the opportunity that will be given to either Texano or Cage.

Texano beats Cage in Match #3 of their Best of Five Series with an inside cradle when Cage showboats, and keeps the series alive at 2-1 with Cage still holding the lead in the series.

Dario Cueto looks in the steel box when Rey Mysterio, Jr. shows up. Rey says there may not be much time here in the temple, and hopes he doesn't have to leave. He is sick of dealing with Chavo, and says that his work in the temple is too important to be wasting his time on him. Rey asks Dario to give Chavo Guerrero, Jr. his one week notice, and asks for a Loser Leaves Lucha match between him and Chavo next week. He doesn't want to leave, but that is a risk he is willing to take, especially if that means ending Chavo's career. Dario makes the match official for next week, and Rey says that sometimes, you have to put a dog down for his own good.

Johnny Mundo beats Sexy Star in a match which sees referee Marty Elias and the substitute ref both going down and interference from "The Darewolf" PJ Black and Jack Evans on Mundo's side and from The Mack on Sexy Star's side to win the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods Championship after hitting Sexy Star with a brass knuckle.



Vampiro meets up with Prince Puma in the training room. He tells Puma he is not done with Mil Muertes, and asks if he has forgotten what Mil did to Konnan. Puma hasn't, but he also hasn't forgotten all the stuff Vampiro said about him. Vampiro admits he hated him, but it wasn't him who put Konnan in the coffin - it was Mil Muertes, and to find his true potential and power, he must bury Mil Muertes in the coffin. He tells Puma he hated Konnan, but has always had respect for Puma himself.

Here are some highlights from tonight's show!

Total Bellas Island - Total Bellas recap for October 26, 2016

Brie says that regardless of who you are, you tend to be influenced. You meet people and fall in love with them, because they happen to be someone that you wish you were.

Brie and Nikki are on the highway talking about onomatopoeias.

Kathy sprints as she, Brie, Nikki and J.J. are near the lake. Nikki says that Brie has changed with all of the guys that she has dated, and that she has become so conservative now that she is together with Bryan.

Brie is poolside with Lexie, and she says that Bryan has bought some property in Phoenix to build a four-bedroom house. It's small, but Lexie likes the idea. Winston is caught eating his own feces, and Brie kisses Winston on the lips having just forgotten.

Brie and Nikki are on the road. Brie and Bryan are getting ready to build their dream home, but they are looking for some opinions. Nikki is worried about Brie, and hopes that she gets what she wants concerning the dream home, and realizes that Brie has changed as they have grown up.

We finally meet Lauren - who also goes by Lola - in the series. She is here to celebrate Kathy's wedding to Johnny. Bryan talks about the house, and he and Nikki say they may have three or four bedrooms instead of five, and Bryan says he doesn't want to be too big as he grew up in a small house. It becomes apparent that Brie and Bryan have different meanings for the word "big" compared to the rest of the Bella clan. Nikki and Bryan argue over whether or not Nikki has humility, and snaps at Nikki for wanting his and Brie's house to be huge by his standards. Nikki thinks Bryan is jealous of her, but Bryan says he doesn't want what she has and says that he just has different opinions from what everyone else in the family does and it just happens to offend everyone.



Bryan and Nikki apologize in the car for the argument from earlier. Nikki wishes she could take it all back, as she loves Bryan and hated having the argument with him.

Everyone meets for evening dinner. Brie has a toast to everyone's differences. Nikki says she has gotten a call from WWE saying she will be needed for WrestleMania and the Raw after. J.J. announces that he and Lauren are having their first child on October 25th.



Brie, Nikki and Lauren plan a bachelorette party for Kathy. Brie finds it weird that everyone around her thinks she has changed.

In the gentlemen's lounge, the argument between Bryan and Nikki over Bryan and Brie's dream house and whether or not Nikki is humble is addressed. Thankfully, since Bryan and Nikki apologized to each other, John Cena isn't really worried about the argument.



Brie and Bryan are still outside as everyone is packing for Kathy's bachelorette party. Bryan has to fly back to Phoenix to meet with his doctors. Brie tells Nikki that Bryan is not in a good place due to his forced retirement, his surgeries and the loss of his father. We find out that Brie learned from the doctors that there is no chance of Bryan ever returning back into a wrestling ring. Bryan announces he is flying back home to the family.



Brie says that Bryan wanted to be alone in Phoenix, and that she has decided to step back and let Bryan do what is best for him.

J.J., Brie, Nikki, Kathy and Lauren head to Naples for Kathy's bachelorette party. Brie is worried about Bryan's mental state, especially since he doesn't want to be on medication for what could be a chemical imbalance in his brain that could be leading to depression and that all he does to deal with it is push it back or ignore it. Nikki wonders if her argument with Bryan may have triggered something.

J.J., Brie, Nikki, Kathy and Lauren finally make it to the Naples Grande where Kathy's bachelorette party will take place. A wine bottle is opened...with a very sharp knife.

Brie is happy to have her family to lean on as everyone goes poolside at the Naples Grande while Bryan is taking care of his own problems by himself. Johnny makes a surprise appearance. The fun is spoiled when once again, everyone says that Brie has changed, and Brie thinks Nikki is unleashing some pent-up anger by tackling her in the water.

Brie talks with Johnny over the "Brie has changed" situation. Johnny sees it as Nikki missing Brie being how she used to be and is losing her in some way. Meanwhile, Nikki and Kathy talk about Bryan, as does Brie and everyone else. It is revealed that Bryan wants to move back home to Aberdeen, Washington for three months and not speak to Brie in that time in order to deal with his personal problems.

Nikki talks to Lauren. Nikki says that she and Brie have done everything together, and that Brie was once the natural life of the party. She misses seeing Brie having fun, as she never has those days very often anymore. Brie talks to J.J. at the pool about it as well. Nikki tells Lauren that she adores Bryan, but wonders if Brie is truly happy and that she wants Brie to be happy.



Bonus clip: Brie Mode is on Urban Dictionary, and Kathy considers this her greatest accomplishment as a mother.
