NXT Revenge, Week Two - NXT recap for April 21, 2026

Myles Borne retains the NXT North American Championship against Dion Lennox when the rest of DarkState's (Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) interference attempt backfires.



Backstage, Blake Monroe is focused on her casket match. "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes tells Blake that she has this match handled, and Jackson Drake tells Blake Monroe to send The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake) a text if she needs anything.

Backstage, Saquon Shugars tries to get another match out of General Manager Robert Stone, while Shiloh Hill and Tatum Paxley talk about Tatum's casket match. Shiloh says that he has set up The Vanity Project on a date of sorts, then mentions that he has a match with Ricky Saints next week.

Keanu Carver beats Joe Hendry by referee stoppage following multiple forearms to a downed Hendry. (With Hendry heading to Raw next week to perform his first concert on the main roster, this is Hendry's last match in NXT.)



For this week's NXT Spotlight, we see a vignette for Lizzie Raine - formerly Rayne Leverkusen - who debuts next week. Lizzie says that everyone has thought she was too loud, but she will prove that rock will never die.

Lexis King beats EK Prosper to win the WWE Speed Championship Tournament and become the WWE Speed Champion after Arianna Grace slaps Prosper, who has to fend off Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Uriah Connors on the outside only for Lexis to hit the Coronation back in the ring to win the match and the vacant title.



Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes catch Jackson Drake's date on video for Instagram. Jackson Drake says that the date never showed, and as the three of them talk, Jackson says he will love again. All of a sudden, a rather tall and formidable-looking woman (Myka Lockwood, formerly Bayley Humphrey in LFG until last month) stands up in the background and asks Drake if he has been stood up.

Backstage, Saquon Shugars meets with the rest of DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Osiris Griffin) and says that he got them a rematch. Lennox says he will beat Myles Borne this time, but Saquon told him that General Manager Robert Stone has put it on him to get the North American Championship for DarkState.

Tatum Paxley retains the NXT Women's North America Championship against Blake Monroe in a casket match following a Cemetery Drive on a stack of diamonds.



Jackson Drake gets to know the woman he just met, whose name is Myka. Myka mentions her career as a mortician's assistant (a reference to her real life job prior to becoming a wrestler), and tells Drake that his supposed date is an AI bot. The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake) soon realize that Shiloh Hill set Jackson Drake up, then Myka takes Drake out for tequila shots and lets Baylor and Smokes join them. On the way out, Myka shoves a guy who gets in her way powerfully enough to push him into a wall.

Lola Vice heads to the ring. Lola Vice says she made a statement against Jacy Jayne in her first title defense and showed what kind of champion she is going to be. She says that Jayne not only elevated the women's division, but reinvented herself. Lola then says that the hardest part of being a champion is keeping the title, and that she sees all eyes on her in the locker room. She says that everyone is making it clear that they want her title, and that her competitions are all threats. She then says she likes it, because holding the title means you are a future WrestleMania main event. Lola says she is ready to be "the realest champion," as everyone is wanting to make their mark. Lola then warns anybody who walks into Vice City to challenge her that they will be challenging a fighter and risking getting knocked out and danced on. All of a sudden, Izzi Dame shows up with The Culling (Shawn Spears and Niko Vance). Izzi says Lola is talking like she cleaned out the women's division in one defense, then asks Lola if she is beginning to feel it yet and says that she is watching and waiting for the moment Lola makes a mistake to strike. Izzi says that she will rip Lola apart, and when she becomes the next champion, Lola will thank her instead of cursing her. Lola says Izzi's waiting feels like hesitation, and that she will beat her ass when she is ready. Izzi reminds Lola that The Culling is one step ahead, and when Niko Vance grabs at Lola Vice's AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship, Izzi boots Lola in the face and knocks her out.



Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Birthright (Lexis King, Uriah Connors, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Arianna Grace, Charlie Dempsey). Lexis King says that the WWE Speed Champion is someone who was born to be a champion and that Birthright is not only full of stars, but that they will not stop until they are all champions. EK Prosper shows up and demands a rematch, stating that Lexis King won only because of the rest of Birthright. Dorian Van Dux shows up and also wants a fight, and as Uriah says that they can make that happen, Arianna says Birthright has a championship coronation to attend.

Kendal Grey talks about growing up competing with her older brother, being part of the wrestling team in school, and how she was a magnet for bad luck as a kid as part of this week's NXT Focus.

Backstage, General Manager Robert Stone is talking with Lola Vice, who says that she has the perfect person to help deal with The Culling. Suddenly, a crashing noise is heard, and Ricky Saints is attacking Shiloh Hill in Stone's office.

Backstage, General Manager Robert Stone runs into Tony D'Angelo when D'Angelo receives a box with a Chinese character on it as Stone mentions a potential challenge for the NXT Championship. Keanu Carver shows up and says he takes what he wants, then tells him that the Chinese character on the box is a symbol of war.

Sol Ruca beats Zaria in a Last Woman Standing Match. During the match, Sol Ruca and Zaria fight each other on top of the balcony, and as Zaria is about to fall off the edge and onto two tables, Sol Ruca pulls Zaria away. Sol Ruca and Zaria hug, then Zaria gets angry and shoves Sol Ruca off the edge and through one of the two tables below. Sol Ruca cannot get back up by the count of ten, and Zaria is last woman standing. (With Sol Ruca now a member of Raw, this is Sol Ruca's last match in NXT.)

Generation NXT - NXT recap for April 7, 2026

Tony D'Angelo heads to the ring to start tonight's show. D'Angelo says a lot of the fans have been with him since the beginning, and that he barely recognize the kid he was when he began. He now says he is not just a man, but the man, and he is now NXT Champion. He also says that he is the very first Grand Slam Champion in NXT history and that he has wanted this since he walked through the door, and while some choices have been better than others, he would not change a thing. D'Angelo then says his hands have an iron grip on the NXT title and not even "All Ego" Ethan Page, Ricky Saints or Joe Hendry can take it from him. Joe Hendry shows up and heads to the ring. Hendry gives credit where credit is due to D'Angelo and proclaims him to be the better man, then says it was on one night where they both had to deal with Ethan and Saints, and ponders if D'Angelo would still be champion if not for them. Ethan shows up and says that if anyone deserved a one-on-one title shot, it was him, and that if it were one-on-one, he would have beaten Hendry; instead, D'Angelo is champion. Saints then makes his way out to the ring. Saints reminds Ethan that he attacked him first and tells Ethan not to blame his shortcomings on him, and says that if Ethan had put his ego to the side, he would be two-time champion. D'Angelo tells all three men to get in line and that the result will be the same as it was Saturday. Suddenly, DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) shows up from out of the crowd and attack all four men in the ring while security rushes in as the show goes to a commercial break. (During the break, the announce table gets destroyed, and it also takes all the referees and the locker room to break up the brawl.)



Backstage, after the break, General Manager Robert Stone puts Tony D'Angelo, Joe Hendry, "All Ego" Ethan Page and Ricky Saints in an eight-man match with DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) later in the night. Sol Ruca then heads to the ring for the next match.

Izzi Dame beats Sol Ruca after Niko Vance saves Izzi Dame on the outside while Zaria hits Sol Ruca with a Spear as Shawn Spears distracts the referee. After the match, Zaria tells Sol Ruca that she says when this ends between them.



In backstage footage from earlier today, The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake) meet with Blake Monroe and gift Blake her very own custom NXT Women's North American Championship. General Manager Robert Stone says Blake cannot self-proclaim to be champion, then puts Blake Monroe and a Vanity Project member of her choice in a mixed tag match with Tatum Paxley and Shiloh Hill. Blake picks Jackson Drake as her tag partner.

Backstage, Dorian Van Dux, Elio LaFleur, "Super" Sean Legacy and Elio LaFleur are in the locker room. LaFleur mentions that Dorian Van Dux and EK Prosper will be in the WWE Speed Championship tournament. Dorian Van Dux says he has been waiting for this moment, but EK Proposer says he is ready for the tournament and that he will be watching tonight's tournament match.

Keanu Carver beats Josh Briggs and Jasper Troy in a Triple Threat Match.

Backstage, Tatum Paxley tells Shiloh Hill that she thought she would be done with Blake Monroe after Saturday, but Blake just cannot stop. Shiloh Hill looks forward to punching Jackson Drake in the face. Ricky Saints shows up and mocks them for laughing during their conversation, but Shiloh Hill tells him to concentrate on his match with DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin), as they already gave him a beating earlier tonight.

Joe Hendry, Tony D'Angelo, Ricky Saints and "All Ego" Ethan Page beat DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin). At the end of the match, D'Angelo takes out Saquon Shugars, but Ethan hits D'Angelo with a pump kick to get the pin and the win. After the match, D'Angelo takes Ethan out.



On NXT Focus, we hear from Jaida Parker, who talks about how she beat Kelani Jordan at Stand & Deliver only for Kelani to attack her backstage afterwards. Jaida says she is who she says she is, and brags about how she has made Kelani's life a living hell with a brawl at the Performance Center and a confrontation at Kelani's car before their match next week.

Lexis King beats Chazz "Starboy" Hall to advance in the WWE Speed Championship Tournament. (Chazz "Starboy" Hall is formerly known as Starboy Charlie, and is the current men's WWE ID Champion.)

Backstage, General Manager Robert Stone meets with Myles Borne when Tony D'Angelo shows up. Borne leaves, and D'Angelo says he wants "All Ego" Ethan Page. Stone says he can make that happen, then D'Angelo has a staredown with Keanu Carver.

Jackson Drake and Blake Monroe beat Tatum Paxley and Shiloh Hill after Tatum goes to counter the Glamour Shot with Cemetery Drive only to hit Drake with a spinning wheel kick. That allows Blake Monroe to hit the Glamour Shot for the pin and the win.



Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews General Manager Robert Stone. Stone announces that the two-week special NXT Revenge starts next week. Tony D'Angelo will defend the NXT Championship against "All Ego" Ethan Page, Sol Ruca and Zaria will square off in a Last Woman Standing Match, Joe Hendry will be in concert, Kali Armstrong will make her NXT debut, and there will be a new WWE Speed Champion.

We see a vignette for Kali Armstrong's NXT debut.

Lola Vice heads to the ring for a championship celebration. Lola Vice talks about she became the first Cuban-American champion in WWE history and how she has waited so long to become champion. She also talks about how she was the biggest signing of 2022 and how WWE gave her a media tour. She talks about how she thought she was ready to become champion and expected to go straight to the top only to get humbled, and how she headed to AAA to get even more experience and take "Vice City" worldwide. Lola Vice says that she is undeniable and that earning something means more than having something handed to her, then Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Lainey Reid) shows up. Jacy Jayne congratulates Lola before telling her to enjoy this moment, as it is the last win she will ever get off of her. She says that Lola has only set her up to become a record-breaking three-time champion. Jacy says Lola was only at Stand & Deliver on a technicality, then says she ran the women's division for almost ten months. General Manager Robert Stone shows up and gives Jacy her championship rematch at NXT Revenge. Lola tells Jacy that she will knock her out again, then Lainey and Fallon attack her from behind. Lola fights back and sends Fatal Influence running to end the show.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Myles Borne. Myles says he made "All Ego" Ethan Page give him that title match and that he smacked him with a chair because he thought he did not have it in him.

We hear from Tatum Paxley, who says that she has tied herself into knots to find love and has thought that if she would change some more and be perfect, someone would stay, but they didn't. The camera zooms in to show her in the crowd, and Tatum says that the fans did not want her to change, and for the first time in her life, she has found real love. She says that the fans have accepted every part of her, and when she beats Izzi Dame for the NXT Women's North American Championship, the title will not be hers; it will be everyone's.

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.

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.

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.

Jackson Drake hits Tank Ledger with a drop kick to the head as the referee is preoccupied, giving The Vanity Project the win.



Backstage, Kelly Kincaid interviews "Super" Sean Legacy, who says that he was in Keanu Carver's path of destruction again just like when Carver put him through a wall last week. He then challenges Keanu Carver to a match, knowing what he is in for, in two weeks' time.

Backstage, The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake) meets with Interim General Manager Robert Stone for a tag team title shot. Stone puts The Vanity Project in the tag team #1 contender's match next week.

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.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for December 16, 2025

Thea Hail beats Blake Monroe to become the NXT Women's North American Champion! During the match, Thea Hail hits Blake Monroe with a springboard senton, and while Blake gets her right shoulder up in the nick of time, the referee does not see it.



We hear from The Culling (Shawn Spears, Niko Vance, Izzi Dame0. They see two dolls of Niko Vance and Shawn Spears, and Izzi Dame says that Tatum Paxley cannot accept defeat and cannot move on like they have have.

"All Ego" Ethan Page heads to the ring. Ethan Page complains that more people care about John Cena than him, especially after he was attacked, then says he wants answers as to why he was attacked by Tony D'Angelo, who he calls out. Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Arianna Grace show up instead, and Stacks says he does not know or care about D'Angelo or what his problem is, then mentions Ethan talking about being a champion and how Arianna wants more gold for Christmas. Stacks says the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships would look better on him and Arianna, then Moose suddenly shows up and takes offense to Stacks being Total Nonstop Action International Champion, saying "the boys are pissed" and that he is going to do something about it. As Ethan leaves the ring, Moose says he is also laser-focused on Ethan Page, who stops in his tracks to take one of NXT's most prestigious titles back. As Ethan says there are rules, Moose says that General Manager Ava and TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella have signed off on it. He announces that Ethan will defend the North American title against him at the end of year awards show. Ethan goes for a cheap shot, but Moose overpowers him.



Backstage, Leon Slater is talking to Je'Von Evans in the parking lot, saying that Ricky Saints may not show up tonight and that they have a tag team title #1 contender's match. Je'Von joins Slater back in the arena.

Hank Walker and Tank Ledger beat OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price). During the match, a black Chevrolet luxury vehicle pulls up in the parking lot. Later on in the match, Bronco Nima has Hank Walker up for a vertical suplex, but Tank bounces off the corner and bumps Lucien into Bronco, allowing Hank to counter with an inside cradle on Bronco for the win.

Ricky Saints heads to the ring, with the security guards from earlier standing around the ring apron. Saints says that he is not out here to apologize for the day he stepped foot into the ring and bring in "The Absolute Era," as he wanted to prove to the world that he is the guy who can carry any brand as he is relentlessly booed. He says that he took a gamble on himself and did not have any more options, and that he had to be obsessed with being number one. Saints that he was the man to beat Oba Femi and he did it, yet the fans really wanted Je'Von Evans to beat Oba. Saints says this is why nobody cared when Je'Von jumped the line and cashed in his title shot in front of him, and that he had to put him in check and tell him that he is not the man until he says so. Saints says he will not be ignored or passed over anymore and that he will take what he wants, and if he has to stab someone in the back to do it, so be it. He then says that he will prove that Je'Von and everyone will have to wait, for he is done with the popularity contest with people chasing clout when he is a real main eventer. He says that the revolution is televised and that will nobody will get to the top and take the risks to keep the top spot more than him.

Backstage, Shiloh Hill is talking with Skyler Raye about their recent happenings in NXT when Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Arianna Grace.

Meanwhile, Jordynne Grace is not happy with Kelani Jordan, who soon shows up and chews Lola out for kicking her out of the locker room.

Backstage, we hear from General Manager Ava, who announces that the Iron Survivor Challenges for both the men and the women will return at Deadline this year. This year, instead of holding qualifying matches to see who enters the matches, one individual will select the competitors for both matches, and will make their decision next week. That individual will be none other than John Cena.



Rapper Lil Yachty is seen in the crowd.

Sarah Schreiber interviews Tavion Heights in the crowd. Tavion says 2025 has been a wild ride, but he does not regret being in the No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey, Wren Sinclair, Kendal Grey) as he learned a lot from them.

Saints admits he knew that Oba Femi would return sooner or later after he beat him to become NXT Champion, and that while Oba left to recollect himself, the train kept rolling, and now, Oba Femi cannot just walk up and take the title from him. Oba says that Saints is still the same person as he left him, and that he took his time to come back as he did not want to get involved in NXT and Total Nonstop Action's rivalry and competing for "best dressed" with Saints, stating that it is all beneath him. He says he has come back the best that he can be, and now "The Absolute Era" is over and he is back to end it and become NXT Champion again. Saints gives Oba Femi his title rematch at Deadline, then Trick Williams shows up and says it is not over until he wins back the NXT Championship.

He talks about his backgrounds in college football and electronics, then talks about how he would shirk off school as a kid before getting into online classes in high school and completing them in one week while also dabbling in conspiracy theories and the Dark Web. He then found his love for football (and got suspended in the first week for suplexing the starting tight end) and ended up playing for Stanford.

We see a video package for "Super" Sean Legacy vs. Jackson Drake for the Evolve Championship.

Backstage, Sol Ruca is upset that she is not champion. Sol Ruca says she had Blake Monroe, but Zaria says she did not want Sol Ruca to be re-injured over her pride. Sol Ruca says her pride made her a double champion, but Sol Ruca still is not happy.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for October 14, 2025

Ricky Saints heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Saints says that last week, he showed that when you stack the odds against him, he will fight like hell for both himself and the fans, and that when things get tough, Trick Williams will fold under pressure, which is the difference between himself and Trick. He states that when he won the NXT Championship, everything became clear in that moment, but for Trick Williams, it has not been very clear for him, especially when he has abandoned NXT and acts like he is above it. Nevertheless, he wants to give Trick a chance to prove him wrong about all that, and calls his shot by challenging Trick for the title at Halloween Havoc. Trick Williams shows up on the TitanTron and says it is not his fault Saints could not get the job done last week, then says that they are on different levels, stating that Saints grinded his whole life while he has never had to wait in line. He says that Saints is so mad that he is putting the NXT Championship on the line, then says they will do this on his time and that he will see him soon. Saints expected Trick to do this, then says he will burst Trick's "fantasy land" bubble.



Backstage, Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater are disappointed about the ending to their Bound for Glory match. Slater says he had Je'Von a few times, but Je'Von says he could have been champion. The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) show up and calls what DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) did a shot at them and considers Je'Von and Slater a threat to DarkState, especially when they are the future of pro wrestling. The Hardys tell them that they will lay in some receipts for DarkState in their tag team title rematch, and Je'Von tells The Hardys that he and Slater have their backs.

We see footage from "NXT Anonymous" where Kelani Jordan talks with Jordynne Grace. Kelani accuses Jordynne of bad officiating at Showdown and says that Jordynne was a big fish in a small fish when she was Total Nonstop Action Knockouts World Champion and is now swimming with sharks, and that she plans to hold the TNA Knockouts title for a long time. Jordynne reminds Kelani that she helped make it possible for her to even hold the title.

Josh Briggs beats Matt Cardona. (The match is Matt Cardona's first in WWE in over a decade since his release and his first under his real name.) During the match, Josh Briggs tries to hit Matt Cardona with a chain, but the referee stops him from doing it and Cardona is able to hit Radio Silence.

Tatum finds Lyra, but Lya runs into The Culling (Shewn Spears, Niko Vance, Izzi Dame, Tatum). Izzi says Hank and Tank had their chance and failed while Chase University have no talent, and states that Shawn Spears and Niko are the only team worthy of winning the NXT tag titles. Hank and Tank take this as a challenge to a Triple Threat Match, to which Andre Chase agrees, and both parties head to General Manager Ava to get eh match made. Meanwhile, Izzi Dame looks foward to winning the women's battle royal tonight.

We hear from Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley). Jacy says that when she and Fallon created Fatal Influence, they wanted to be the leaders of the women's division, and Fallon says that they have run the division since then. Jacy says they have had their problems, but they have worked them out, and Fallon says Jazmyn Nyx was a problem until she was taken out by someone who, as Jacy put it, was willing to prove themselves in a way that Jazmyn Nyx did in Lainey Reid, who is now the new third member of the group. She says she has seen Jacy and Fallon rise to the top, and she has realized that to be like them, she has to follow in their footsteps. Fallon tells her that she also took it one step further before Jacy welcomes her to the group and tells her that she has earned it.

El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. beats Lexis King in his NXT debut. After the match, El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. calls out "All Ego" Ethan Page, and Ethan shows up. Ethan says it is exhausting being "the greatest North American of all time" and that he has people all over the WWE universe hoping to get their eyes on him, then says that El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. does not have to hunt for him anymore. He announces that El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. will be challenging him for the North American title at Halloween Havoc and that he will beat him. El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. says he has spoken with General Manager Ava and that he wants Ethan in a Day of the Dead Match in which anything goes.

Backstage, General Manager Ava and Total Nonstop Action Director of Authority Santino Marella are talking with Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater when Je'Von and Slater want to know if there is a tag team they can face. Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Arianna Grace show up, and says that if it were not for DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin), Leon Slater would probably not be champion right now. This gives Santino Marella the idea of putting Stacks and Slater in a match for the X Division Championship next week on NXT. All of a sudden, a loud crash is heard, and it is revealed that Trick Williams has attacked Ricky Saints.

Blake Monroe beats Zaria. During the match, Blake Monroe pulls a a metal folding chair out from underneath the ring to use it as a weapon, but Sol Ruca shows up to pull the chair out of her hands. Blake Monroe then produces a hair pin, and she strikes Zaria in the throat with it behind the referee's back to hit the Beauty Shot for the win.



Backstage, we hear from General Manager Ava, who announces that next week, the men's Speed Championship tournament will begin. SmackDown's Axiom will take on Evolve's "Super" Sean Legacy, while Total Nonstop Action's Zachary Wentz will face NXT Jasper Troy. The winners of these two matches will face each other for the right to face El Grande Americano for the WWE Speed Championship.

Backstage, Zaria tells Sol Ruca that she is fine following her match with Blake Monroe. Sol Ruca says she should have been out there from the beginning as she apologizes, then says that she wants Zaria to have her opportunity and that she has given her her slot in the 20-woman battle royal tonight. Sol Ruca admits that Blake Monroe was right and that she is somewhat selfish, then says she wants the two of them to have all the gold. The two of them make up.

Backstage, General Manager Ava tells Ricky Saints that Trick Williams is gone as Saints is looking for Trick. She then tells Saints that he will meet Trick Williams next week and asks him to keep it together for their contract signing. Saints tells Ava that he can do that for her.

Backstage, DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) have attacked The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). They vow to take back the NXT Tag Team Championships.

Tatum Paxley last eliminates Jordynne Grace and Izzi Dame - inadvertently, as Izzi Dame clotheslines Jordynne Grace over the top rope only for the two of them to tumble over the top rope - to win a 20-woman battle royal and become the #1 contender for the NXT Women's Championship by holding on to the bottom rope as Izzi eliminates herself and Jordynne. During the match, Arianna Grace and Victoria Crawford accidentally get themselves simultatenously eliminated, Lash Legend and Mara Sadé (formerly known as Jakara Jackson) have a reunion, Zaria is forced to eliminate herself to check on Sol Ruca after Sol Ruca is attacked from out of nowhere by Blake Monroe, Kelani Jordan walks on her hands to avoid elimination only to her plans foiled by Jordynne Grace.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for August 26, 2026

Ricky Saints heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Saints says that he will always put his money behind Je'Von Evans even if Oba Femi proved why he is the NXT Champion. He also says he has been in NXT for six months and that while he has accomplished plenty, he wants the NXT Championship. He admits there are others worthy of facing Oba Femi, but he considers now the perfect time to call his shot and calls Oba out. Josh Briggs shows up instead, saying Saints walks around like he runs the place and that he is tired of outsiders like Saints getting shots they do not deserve. Saints gives Briggs credit for how tough he is, but he will not step aside for him and he will handle him right now. Suddenly, General Manager Ava shows up. She says that nobody has heard from Je'Von Evans since he lost at Heatwave, and now she has to find a new #1 contender for the NXT Championship, and both men will square off tonight to see who faces Oba Femi at No Mercy.

He says that his reign cannot last forever and that he will be the one to end it. Oba says he did something in Saints, and that it is fear. He says that Saints' career will reach new heights, but he will show him that he is not special and that he will make "the absolute" look "absolutely mediocre." Suddenly, DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) shows up in the crowd. Dion Lennox says they lead the way in NXT, and Osiris gives Oba and Saints the choice to either leave or be forced out of the ring. Saints picks the second option, which leads to a beatdown.

Backstage, General Manager Ava meets with Jordynne Grace. Ava puts Grace in a one-on-one match with Blake Monroe when Grace is cleared, stating that Blake Monroe deserves an ass kicking after what she has put the women's locker room through.

Oba Femi heads to the ring. Oba talks about his recent championship match against Yoshiki Inamura and Josh Briggs and how he has been NXT Champion for over 200 days, then asks who will step up and challenge him next. He then says that nobody is worthy, even thought NXT is the brand built for the future, and when he looks at the future, it is not very bright, as he has beaten them all. Trick Williams shows up, and says that while Oba Femi is a big dog, he is the biggest dog NXT has to offer. Oba asks Trick if he trying to convince the fans or himself, but Trick says he is convincing Oba, as he carries two brands.

Ethan Page then asks the fans to respectfully stand as he sings "O Canada," but he is soon interrupted by Tavion Heights. Tavion Height says nobody tuned in to hear what sounds like a Canadian goose dying, and while he respects Ethan representing his country much like he represented the United States in the Olympics, Ethan needs to be knocked off his pedestal. Tavion says it is time to break out onto the scene and that he is a weapon in human form, and that he is about to focus his energy on Ethan. Ethan wants none of this, but suddenly, Chelsea Green and The Secret Hervice (Piper Niven and Alba Fyre) show up and considered Ethan Page an inspiration to Canada and a model Canadian second only to herself. She also says that a lowlife American like Tavion would not have the guts to hit a woman like her. Tavion says she is right, strikes Ethan, then says he will find a woman who will.

In backstage footage from earlier, Jordynne Grace finds out from General Manager Ava, who is surrounded by security, that she is barred from the building tonight after attacking Robert Stone and Evolve Prime Minister Stevie Turner last week. Jordynne says taht one way or another, she will get her hands on Blake Monroe tonight.

Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) head to the ring. Jacy Jayne says that love it or hate it, she runs women's wrestling, which is not bad for "a third wheel" or "the most beatable women's champion in history." Jacy declares that she is on top and that she did it herself without help or support, as the fans tried to write her off. She says that everyone wants to talk about making history to the point that it has become a wrestling cliché, then says there is nothing cliché about her being a double champion. Suddenly, Lash Legend shows up and says nobody expect Jacy to be the double champion, yet Jacy took her moment to become "the #1 girl." Lash then tells Jacy that she will not be on top for long, as it is time for her moment and time to lash out, as he proved she is the most dominant force in WWE at Evolution, and if she can go against the best at Raw and SmackDown, then she is ready for championship gold. Jaida Parker shows up and says she cannot take Lash's flowers away from her, but she has a direct line to the championship and that no matter who she has to deal with, she is the walking reality check and the face of the future of the women's division. Jacy says she will let the two of them hash things out for herself, then sics Fallon and Jazmyn on them. When Fallon and Jazmyn get confused, Jacy attacks Jaida, and this leads to a brawl. Lash and Jaida clean house, but bump into each other and start arguing.



Backstage, Ricky Saints runs into Je'Von Evans, who is coming up with some new moves. Saints tells Je'Von not to overthink things, then the two of them talk about Jasper Troy.

Jasper Troy beats Ricky Saints by count-out after the entrance ramp collapses under Ricky Saints as Jasper Troy intimidates the referee and hits Saints with a senton before getting back into the ring before the ten count.



Backstage, Trick Williams is with The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe) as he is about tocall out The Undertaker. Wes Lee is ready to assist, but Trick says he must handle this man-to-man. Je'Von Evans laughs at Trick Williams, who tells him to be quiet as grown men are talking. Trick leaves, then Je'Von Evans says he has to see this.

WWE acknowledges the death of heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne - whose appearances in WWE span from WrestleMania 2 and beyond for almost four decades - who passed away earlier today at the age of 76.

Trick Williams heads to the ring. He brags about retaining the Total Nonstop Action World Championship at Slammiversary, then states that he is the greatest TNA World Champion of all time. Trick talks about how he is dropping records and diss tracks as well as everyone who is in his way, then addresses Team Undertaker (Shiloh Hill, Dani Sekelsky, Bayley Humphrey, Drake Morreaux) being in his way backstage last week and accuses them of snitching on them to The Undertaker. He says that The Undertaker may be one of the best ever, but he has never held down two brands at the same time. Trick then says that LFG not only has The Undertaker disrespected, but also soft, and he has no problem being the only man to call him out, which he does. The Undertaker shows up and heads to the ring, then calls Trick "a dead man walking" before complimenting Trick's wardrobe and telling him that he has everything that he needs except respect. The Undertaker says that he keeps up with everyone, and states that Trick Williams as TNA World Champion is not the same guy he watched scratch and claw his way to the top, stating that he was "hungry" and "had the dog in him." He says Trick can have the whole package and everything in the toolbox, but with his attitude, it is not a matter of him losing the title, but when. He says Trick's attitude will be downfall, and that is when the walls will start crumbling down. The Undertaker says he has seen this too many times and that Trick's attitude is what he tries to teach his LFG team, but Trick says he does not care about his team and that nobody in LFG or WWE is a superstar like he is. The Undertaker says Trick is "a little too light in the ass to step to an OG," and that if he wants to dance with the devil, he can flip that switch quickly, and when he does, he will make him famous. Trick goes for a cheap shot, but The Undertaker immediately counters with a choke slam.



Backstage, Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) strategize how to deal with Lash Legend and Jaida Parker. Michelle McCool shows up and thinks Jazmyn should take on Jaida and Fallon Henley should take on Lash. Jazmyn says this makes sense, as only a baddie can take on another baddie. Jacy agrees, but nobody can figure out where General Manager Ava's office is.

"All Ego" Ethan Page is behind a podium in the ring, as the NXT North American Championship is on another podium covered with a black mantle. Ethan says this is the 56th day of his reign and that 17 Americans before him have had the honor and privilege of holding the title, but he hopes to bring more honor, diginity, pride and class to the title than all the other 17 champions combined. He plans to do this based on who he is and where he comes from, then talks about how his parents immigrated from Yugoslavia and how he got to see America. He says that if his parents made different decisions, he would end up like the fans, but he did not, as he was born in Canada. He reveals the two Canadian flags to his side, then declares that his title will no longer represent North America, as it represents "an absolute lie." He states that the title should represent the pure dominance of Canada over the United States, Mexico and every country on the continent. He says he was born in Canada but made in America, which makes him the greatest North American alive and affords him the privilege of tossing the North American Championship outside to the floor and replacing it with a variant of the title with a Canadian flag strap. Ethan says he is proud of being from Canada, and that to claim to be a great North American champion will come with a Canadian standard of excellence, as Canada is just a better country. He then states that as North American Champion, he takes great pride in holding the title, but his pride as champion pales in comparison to his pride of being a Canadian. He then sings "O Canada" so that a North American does not butcher his national anthem. All of a sudden, Total Nonstop Action Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and heads to the ring. Santino says Ethan has a big mouth and should be ashamed, then puts the people of North America over and says Ethan's words make him sick. Ethan tells Santino to go back to TNA, but Santino says that the North American Championship should be held with someone with honor, digntiy, class and pride, none of which Ethan has. Santino says he has all that and will see Ethan next week, and when Ethan wants to go at it with Santino, Santino sends him retreating immediately by attemptting the Cobra.
