Generation NXT - NXT recap for June 8, 2021

In footage from earlier today, Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory have to be pulled out of the building and away from Oney Lorcan and Pete Dunne during a brawl in the Peformance Center.

Oney Lorcan beats Austin Theory. During the match, Pete Dunne shows up to get a closer look at the match. After the commercial break, Johnny Gargano is also at ringside. Later in the match, Gargano and Dunne go at it at ringside, and referees have to run in and escort them to the back. After the match, Gargano checks on Theory.



We see L.A. Knight in his mansion. Knight says that if "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase is looking for a man to carry out his legacy, he is it. We also see that he has two beautiful women and a Mercedes-Benz sports car.

We hear from Michael Hayes aka Dok Hendrix for the NXT TakeOver: In Your House Slam Jam, where he runs down the card for NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) is in the ring. As Santos Escobar says he will make Bronson Reed pay for last week, Bronson Reed shows up and makes light of squashing him on the ringside barricade. Santos Escobar dares Bronson Reed to do it again, and Bronson Reed says "You're on." After Bronson Reed gets in the ring, MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) joins him. Santos Escobar says they knew MSK would show up, and proposes a six-man tag match where the NXT Tag Team and North American titles are both on the line. Legado del Fantasma retreat. As Legado del Fantasma leave and Bronson Reed and MSK are about to get out of the ring, Hit Row (Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, Top Dolla, B-Fab) shows up and confronts Legado del Fantasma before confronting MSK and Bronson Reed.Bronson Reed and MSK accept, then make fun of Bronson squashing Escobar again.



Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) vs. MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) and Bronson Reed in a "Winners Take All" Match for the NXT North American and Tag Team Championships is official for NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

Isaiah "Swerve" Scott beats Killian Dain thanks to the distraction by Ashante "Thee" Adonis, which causes Drake Maverick to somersault senton into Adonis from the ring steps only to be slammed into the ring apron by Top Dolla.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews The Way (Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell). As Candice talks about her irritation with Poppy, Indi is still pre-occupied with what Dexter Lumis did last week and thinks Dexter still loves her.

We hear from Cameron Grimes in his mansion, who says that he is worthy enough of "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase's legacy as he swims in a pool, lights a cigar with a dollar bill, drinks whiskey, gets a massage and drives a Rolls Royce.



Before the next match, Mercedes Martinez is attacked from behind by Xia Li. Mercedes Martinez gets in the ring and destroys her opponent in mere seconds as Xia Li is held back by referees, then says "Xia...you messed with the wrong one!"



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango). Fandango wants to know why Walter is angry all the time, and Tyler Breeze says that if they want the NXT tag team titles, they will have to beat Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel and disappoint Walter again.



Backstage, Triple H and General Manager William Regal welcome Poppy to NXT and thank her for the music before asking when the next album drops. Poppy says "Right now," and all of the music played on NXT every week becomes available as an EP called Eat - NXT Soundtrack. Suddenly, Dexter Lumis shows up and shows Poppy a drawing of her that he made. Poppy says "thank you" and hugs him. Indi Hartwell shows up, sees this and runs away crying, then Triple H says "This is awkward."



Cameron Grimes and L.A. Knight show up at approximately the same time. One of "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase's security guards tell him that DiBiase is waiting for them in the ring. DiBiase tells both men that they have proven themselves worthy and that it is time for them to climb the ladder of success. A solid gold ladder with green dollar signs on the sides is lowered into the ring. DiBiase tells both men that they will be in a ladder match, and Knight says that there is no hillbilly he will not step on to get to the top, as this is his game. Grimes says he may be a hillbilly, but he is still worth a million and that what happens in the ring matters. Grimes says that when he is in the ring, he cannot be beaten, and he will take DiBiase's legacy to the moon. He then says he does not see what he needs to reach for on the ladder, and DiBiase asks two security guards to bring a briefcase into the ring. DiBiase says both men will use every fiber of energy and muscle in their body for the Million Dollar Championship, which is in the briefcase and has not been seen in more than a dozen years, and that the winner at NXT TakeOver: In Your House will wear that title.



Backstage, General Manager William Regal and security have to stop a brawl between Kyle O'Reilly and Karrion Kross.

Backstage, Ever-Rise (Chase Parker and Matt Martel) announce that he will host the "pre-pre-show" for NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

Cameron Grimes vs. L.A. Knight in a Ladder Match for the Million Dollar Championship is official for NXT TakeOver: In Your House.

Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) beat August Grey and Ikemen Jiro. During the match, Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher show up with steel chairs to watch the match from ringside. After the match, Zack Gibson tells Ciampa and Thatcher that he and Drake are done with them and that they are here for MSK and the tag team titles, as they have proven they are the better tag team while Ciampa and Thatcher are "two hooligans." Thatcher says Grizzled Young Veterans won't get a title shot until they go through them and throw their chairs at them. Gibson says that if they want a scrap, they will get it, but they will not enjoy it. Gibson then proposes a tornado tag team match for next week , and Ciampa accepts after saying he and Thatcher love tornado, don't need tags and cannot wait until next week to beat them up. After Thatcher and Ciampa run Gibson and Drake out of the ring, Thatcher says he will enjoy breaking Gibson and Drake's limbs.



We see footage of Bobby Fish at a punching bag. Fish tells Oney Lorcan he has not forgotten about him.

Candice LeRae heads to the ring. She says she is sick of hearing about Poppy, saying she hijacked her interview last week and took Dexter Lumis from Indi Hartwell, who has now left the building devastated and in tears. She says they can do this the easy way where Poppy faces her in the ring, or they can do this the hard way where she introduces Poppy to the NXT parking lot. Poppy shows up and says she doesn't wrestle but knows someone who does: Io Shirai. Shirai heads to the ring and quickly overpowers LeRae.



We hear from Dok Hendrix for another Slam Jam update. Hendrix mentions the matches that have been made official for NXT TakeOver: In Your House earlier in the night as well as previously announced matches.

In footage from during the break, Poppy and Io Shirai are confronted by Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai.

Ember Moon beats Dakota Kai by disqualification after Raquel Gonzalez hits her with a big boot. After the match, Ember Moon attacks Raquel, and when Dakota Kai gets involved, Ember Moon takes her out only for Raquel to overpower and choke slam her. However, the choke slam is reversed into an Eclipse. Ember Moon hits Raquel with the Eclipse, then drapes the NXT Women's Championship on top of a downed Raquel.



We hear from Karrion Kross and Scarlett. Kross says his opponents at NXT TakeOver: In Your House have an opportunity to meet him face-to-face tonight, and that they do not have to wait until Sunday to be flatlined. He tells them that this is their opportunity to show what they can really do, and to not be late.

General Manager William Regal and Karrion Kross are in the ring. Regal says he is the General Manager and that Kross does not run the show, but Kross says Regal runs nothing and that the show has been out of control for a very long time. He says that this is his world and that he is not leaving the ring until he beats up all of his opponents from Sunday's match. Kyle O'Reilly shows up and says that Kross has thin skin and a vein in his head that is about to burst because he is insecure. After O'Reilly says it is a matter of time until someone like him takes the NXT Championship from Kross, Johnny Gargano shows up and says Kross should be the biggest, baddest dude here, then says Kross is not him and that Kross should choke O'Reilly out right now. After Gargano tells him to be careful due to not being the most graceful guy here. As Kross talks back to Gargano, Pete Dunne shows up and says he is sick and tired of waiting and that he is about to prove why he is the baddest in NXT. Adam Cole shows up on the video screen and calls Kross "the biggest moron of them all" and that he verbally annihilated last week before telling Kross he can see right through him and that Kross is afraid. Cole says he does not even have to beat Kross to become NXT Champion and prove that Kross' championship reign is one big disappointment. After O'Reilly says Cole is "too much of a bitch" to kick things off in the ring, Kross asks O'Reilly who he is. O'Reilly slaps Kross in the face, and this starts a brawl where everyone fights each other as well as members of security who try to stop the brawl. Kross eventually comes out on top, but is superkicked out of nowhere by Adam Cole, who hits Kross with the Last Shot. Adam Cole then raises up the NXT Championship to end the show.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for March 17, 2021

Finn Balor is in the ring to start tonight's show. He names all of the people he has beaten to keep the NXT Championship, then says Karrion Kross is the only one remaining, that he has been waiting for him and that Kross' time is up. Suddenly, Kross and Scarlett show up. Kross said that this match would never have happened until they settled their separate affairs, and now, it will be the two of them one-on-one, and that the entire world needs to know who the real champion is around here. Finn says everyone wants to be the champion until the real champion walks into the room, and says that while Kross walks and talks like a champion, he is the champion, not Kross, and that Kross does not have what it takes to be in the main event and beat him. Kross promises him that at TakeOver, Finn will know what if feels like when he squeezes all the oxygen out of his throat and chokes him out, while Finn says he will know what it is like to be at the main event of TakeOver and choke. Scarlett says that she has already seen this in the cards: two champions draped in gold with the fans in awe, and that is all happens for a reason. Suddenly, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch show up. Burch says that all the words being said in the ring are just words, and Lorcan says that Pete Dunne is the real champion and can beat both Finn and Kross and become the real NXT Champion. Scarlett says there are moments in time like this that lead to an inevitable future, and that Burch and Locan will put their tag team titles on the line. She asks if Burch and Lorcan are confident and know what they want, and if they know what they bring to the table. She also asks if the two of them would like the word "coward" associated with them, which leads to Burch and Lorcan putting the NXT tag team titles on the line against Finn and Kross tonight. Scarlett reiterates that every moment happens for a reason, and tells Finn Balor that he cannot change fate.



Dexter Lumis beats Austin Theory with Silence after Theory almost rekindles his friendship with Lumis.

Adam Cole is in the ring. He says that Kyle O'Reilly made the biggest mistake in his life last week, and says that he did not need him anymore. After mentioning that O'Reilly cost him the NXT Championship, he says that O'Reilly knows he is jealous of him. Cole says that O'Reilly knows he will never be as successful as he is, and that he just signed his death warrant. He also says that he does not care if O'Reilly is medically cleared, and that he will not leave until O'Reilly gets in the ring. General Manager William Regal shows up and says that O'Reilly has been banned from the building due to not being medically cleared, then O'Reilly shows up on another video screen and says he will not rest until he ends him like Cole tried to end his career. O'Reilly says that he knows a lot about Cole, but not what he will do to him, and tells him that this is indeed a threat. Cole tells Regal that O'Reilly will not be able to hurt him if he finds him first, then heads to the back.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart. Ember Moon says she came back to NXT to make history and become a champion, then Robert Stone, Jessi Kamea and Aliyah show up.

Jordan Devlin is seen pulling up to the arena.

Legado del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza) beat Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango). After the match, Santos Escobar wants to know where Jordan Devlin is, and Jordan Devlin soon shows up. Devlin tells Santos to take a good long look at a real champion after talking trash for a year, and says he did not need two stooges to call him out. Santos calls off Wilde and Mendoza, then steps into the ring with Devlin. Devlin says Escobar has said he is the king of his division, but "The Ace" is back in town, and he tells Escobar to throw his "replica title" in the trash, but Escobar says he has redefined what it means to be a cruiserweight. Escobar says he has made history as the Cruiserweight Champion and has proven it time after time, and says Devlin only has his title because everyone forgot he had it in the first place. Escobar then tells Devlin to wrap up his business in the UK before facing him to see who the true Cruiserweight Champion is at TakeOver: Stand and Deliver. Devlin answers with a headbutt followed by a Devlin-side.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Raquel Gonzalez, who says Io Shirai made a mistake giving her a contract, as it puts an expiration date on her championship reign. Dakota Kai shows up and says they have a match against Zoey Stark and Io Shirai next week. Raquel says she can have Shirai whenever she wants, but Dakota reminds her that they have back-to-back tag team losses and need to show the rest of the women's division who dominates.

We see a vignette for Xia Li, who says that resistance will not be tolerated and that obstacles will be removed according to Tien Sha as she stands next to Boa.



Backstage, General Manager William Regal says he hopes the police department will drop the charges against Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly and that he will soon have a solution to the situation to the Cole-O'Reilly problem.

After the match, Kross gets in the ring and decimates Oney Lorcan, then demolishes Finn Balor and puts him in the Kross Jacket. Scarlett stops Kross and gets Finn Balor up only for Kross to level him with a right hand.
