Final iMPACT! - iMPACT recap for December 4, 2025
We see footage of several TNA wrestlers making their way back to the old TNA crate from the beginning of the year as a cover of "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins plays in the background. They find the crate and bring it back to an old barn, and the inside of the crate glows gold. Kazarian opens the crate, and it is announced that the show is moving from AXS TV to AMC in the United States on January 15th after almost seven years on AXS TV.

Bayley says she was here last week because she cares about Roxanne Perez and the legacy is leaving, but that just earned her a slap to the face and being told she acted like CM Punk or Natalya. She says that NXT owes her - and Roxanne - nothing, and that she owes NXT to get rid of "little idiots" like Roxanne, who showed up on Raw and SmackDown to talk trash and put her hands on her. Bayley tells Roxanne that this does not prove she is ready to be the leader of the youngest locker room in history, and as Bayley says the sky is the limit for them, Giulia suddenly shows up.

She says she hopes to hold the NXT Women's Championship with as much love and honor as Bayley did. Bayley admits she is a fan of Giulia and wanted her to win the title, and says she knows Giulia can make history. As Bayley mentions the history that the NXT Women's Championship has made, Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade show up.

Roxanne says she will not take away from anything Bayley has done while she and Cora are being swamped with boos, then thanks Bayley for her service, saying it is no longer needed. Roxanne also says Bayley is the one who should be booed, saying she is eyeing the NXT Women's Championship and wants to be "the #1 woman in the #1 division," and tells Bayley to tell Giulia why she is really here.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for November 19, 2024

Nathan Frazer beats Eddy Thorpe in a men's Iron Survivor qualifier. During the match, numerous tag teams show up around the ring and the crowd to get a closer look at the match, and later on in the match, they all start brawling. After the match, multiple referees have to restore order as all the tag teams keep brawling.
At Chase University, Andre Chase talks to his students about the risk that he is taking tonight and how Chase University has become what he is after putting everything he has into it, then talks about what Chase University has done and overcome to get to where it is now. He says that those memories have made the university and that he will not let anyone or anything take the university away when he becomes #1 contender for the NXT Championship.
We hear from Giulia, who says that it has been a little over two months since she moved to America from Japan, and while America is different from Japan, she is having a fun time learning a new culture while the fans get to learn who she is. She says that the only skills she learned came from the fights she got into growing up and that she would do anything to win them, and that after she qualifies, four other women will get a taste of "the Beautiful Madness."

Jazmyn Nyx says they are above every athlete, no matter how good they are, and Fallon says she can either sit at the top or put her title on the line, and proposes an open challenge for the NXT Women's North American Championship next week. Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson show up wanting a piece of the action, as does Nikkita Lyons, and this leads to a brawl involving the entire NXT women's division.

Ava then announces that the contract signing right now is for Trick vs. Ethan. Trick is introduced to the ring first, and Trick says that while he is hurting and in pain, it does not change the fact that Pete Dunne is "still a Butch." He says that he and Dunne went to war and that Ethan Page tried to hold him down, but he was still last man standing, and in two weeks, he will make history by beating Ethan for the NXT Championship. Ethan Page shows up to become an absolute buzzkill as Trick and the crowd chants "Whoop that trick," and Ethan says that while Trick has every right to be confident, he is Trick's Kryptonite. Trick says that ever since Ethan stole the NXT Championship from him, he has been running from him, and that the running will stop on October 1st. Ethan says he won and earned the title, and that he still remembers the shock and surprise on everyone's faces, including Trick's, when he won it, and that Trick will have a look of disappointment when he finds out he does not have him figured out and he puts everything to an end. As Trick says that he will be the victor, Ethan kicks Trick in the gut and puts him through the table with the Ego's Edge, then tells Trick that he will not even make it Chicago.

We see parking lot footage of Trey getting in his car only for Wes Lee to attack him. Wentz says he does not know when Trey will be back in action, then calls Wes Lee "an absolute piece of garbage" for his actions after everything they have been to and that Wes deserves everything that will happen to him in Chicago, Illinois.

CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says he is in a different mood than he was on Raw, then says that he remembers some of the people in the crowd and admits that he tried to hide in order to watch the show from backstage. He says that he appreciates the work that goes into NXT and admits that he will eventually have to butt heads with some of the NXT Superstars in the future, and says that Shawn Michaels called him up because he knew he loved NXT. Punk said he begged to be on the Chicago, Illinois show and that Shawn told him he could do whatever he wanted on the show. All of a sudden, Roxanne Perez suddenly shows up. Roxanne mentions her NXT Women's Championship match with Giulia, then says that Punk is her all-time favorite wrestler and one of the reasons that she got into the business, but admits she always preferred AJ Lee. This leads into an "AJ" chant. She says that she was happy to see him return at Survivor Series, but then says she should have been a Drew McIntyre fan and that CM Punk wants to be in the Chicago show because he wants one more moment of glory before McIntyre ends his career. Roxanne tells him to stay home because she does not need him there, then says that the show will soon become hers because it is all about her. She then says that she does not care about how popular Giulia is in Japan and that it is all about her, then says "Tell me when I'm telling lies," then says that as a wise man one said, she would rather be hated for something she is than loved for something she is not. Punk gives Roxanne credit for maximizing her minutes, as he loves an overconfident champion. He says that the NXT Women's Championship and the chip on her shoulder makes Roxanne not just the best in NXT, but in WWE, and that none of that will matter when Giulia hands her ass to her. After Punk says he did not come here to talk about her or Giulia, the lights go out, and Giulia shows up. She gets in the ring and tells Roxanne that the countdown is on and that she has two weeks left. Roxanne goes for a cheap shot, but Punk stops her, and Giulia wags her finger in Roxanne's face.
Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Kelani Jordan says that when it comes to The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx), nobody is off-limits, as they will attack anyone they see. She knows she has a target on her back and that she will defend against women who excel in the ring, not in insults. She also considers holding her own open challenge one day like Jordynne Grace, and when she does, she had better see a member of The Fatal Influence step up to the plate. Suddenly, Wren Sinclair suddenly shows up and says that Charlie Dempsey told her to make a name for herself, then slaps Kelani in the face and says she is doing it now. Kelani then chases Wren out of the interview area.

On X (formerly Twitter), A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller and Austin Theory) talk about never having held the NXT Tag Team Championship, and consider challenging Nathan Frazer and Axiom for the titles next week.

Lola Vice beats Jacy Jayne despite Jazmyn Nyx and Fallon Henley's attempted interference in the match. After the match, The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) attack Lola Vice, then Jaida Parker runs into the ring and takes them all out single-handedly, with Jacy Jayne having to be helped out of the ring. Lola confronts Jaida, and referees have to hold them back.
Backstage, Adrianne Rizzo tells Tony D'Angelo that she is also scared. D'Angelo says he has disrespected and failed the family, but Adrianne says that D'Angelo has to carry that fear and that no matter what, he will always have the family. She says she is seeing what this is doing to D'Angelo and knows that he wants another shot at Oba Femi, and D'Angelo says he does. Adrianne Rizzo says that if D'Angelo loses, he will do it through the fear, then tells him that the family believes in him and that he must believe in himself.
Tyrese Haliburton is in the ring to get Trick Williams and "All Ego" Ethan Page to sign the contract for their match, then says he has reinforcements in the front row in the form of his Indiana Pacers teammates. The crowd boos, and Tyrese says he would boo too if he were an Orlando Magic fan. Trick Williams shows up and shows respect to Tyrese, saying that just like how Team USA won gold in Paris, he will win gold in Chicago, Illinois. Trick then calls out Ethan Page, telling him to sign the contract before he signs his forehead with a Gucci loafer. Ethan Page shows up as Trick signs the contract and says this is ridiculous, and says he gave Trick an out but did not take it. Ethan says that if he has to sign the contract, he will do it, then says that when it comes to the NXT Championship, he is the Boston Celtics, and when he beats Trick in Chicago, he will be like the Indiana Pacers and the rest of the NBA when he has to watch him be victorious. Ethan then says he will continue to carry the championship and the brand, then signs the contract. Tyrese declares the championship match official, then says Trick knows what time it is before bringing out CM Punk. Punk gets in the ring and thanks Tyrese, then says Roxanne is soon to be the former NXT Women's Champion and announces that Ethan and Trick's match is so big that it needs something special. The fans chant "Referee," and CM Punk agrees the match needs a special guest referee, which is none other than himself. He says the only rule is that the official will be listened to, and since he is the official, they can start fighting right now. Trick and Ethan immediately brawl with referees and security moving quickly into place while CM Punk leads a "Let them fight!" chant to end the show.

He says that next week, he will get Ridge Holland out of their lives once and for all.
CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says he is in a different mood than he was on Raw, then says that he remembers some of the people in the crowd and admits that he tried to hide in order to watch the show from backstage. He says that he appreciates the work that goes into NXT and admits that he will eventually have to butt heads with some of the NXT Superstars in the future, and says that Shawn Michaels called him up because he knew he loved NXT. Punk said he begged to be on the Chicago, Illinois show and that Shawn told him he could do whatever he wanted on the show. All of a sudden, Roxanne Perez suddenly shows up. Roxanne mentions her NXT Women's Championship match with Giulia, then says that Punk is her all-time favorite wrestler and one of the reasons that she got into the business, but admits she always preferred AJ Lee. This leads into an "AJ" chant. She says that she was happy to see him return at Survivor Series, but then says she should have been a Drew McIntyre fan and that CM Punk wants to be in the Chicago show because he wants one more moment of glory before McIntyre ends his career. Roxanne tells him to stay home because she does not need him there, then says that the show will soon become hers because it is all about her. She then says that she does not care about how popular Giulia is in Japan and that it is all about her, then says "Tell me when I'm telling lies," then says that as a wise man one said, she would rather be hated for something she is than loved for something she is not. Punk gives Roxanne credit for maximizing her minutes, as he loves an overconfident champion. He says that the NXT Women's Championship and the chip on her shoulder makes Roxanne not just the best in NXT, but in WWE, and that none of that will matter when Giulia hands her ass to her. After Punk says he did not come here to talk about her or Giulia, the lights go out, and Giulia shows up. She gets in the ring and tells Roxanne that the countdown is on and that she has two weeks left. Roxanne goes for a cheap shot, but Punk stops her, and Giulia wags her finger in Roxanne's face.
Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Kelani Jordan says that when it comes to The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx), nobody is off-limits, as they will attack anyone they see. She knows she has a target on her back and that she will defend against women who excel in the ring, not in insults. She also considers holding her own open challenge one day like Jordynne Grace, and when she does, she had better see a member of The Fatal Influence step up to the plate. Suddenly, Wren Sinclair suddenly shows up and says that Charlie Dempsey told her to make a name for herself, then slaps Kelani in the face and says she is doing it now. Kelani then chases Wren out of the interview area.
Backstage, Tony D'Angelo meets with the rest of The D'Angelo Family (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Adrianne Rizzo, Luca Crusifino). Tony says nothing is wrong and that he is fine, then says that he is afraid and that he is supposed to be The Don of NXT and lead the family, but Oba Femi is a machine and he cannot beat him.
Je'Von Evans and Cedric Alexander beat No Quarter Catch Crew (Tavion Heights and Myles Borne) after Kelani Jordan chases Wren Sinclair around the ring and to the back. After the match, it is announced that Randy Orton will be Je'Von Evans' opponent on October 8th.

On X (formerly Twitter), A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller and Austin Theory) talk about never having held the NXT Tag Team Championship, and consider challenging Nathan Frazer and Axiom for the titles next week. Frazer and Axiom respond on X, saying they accept. The match is official for October 8th.
Lola Vice beats Jacy Jayne despite Jazmyn Nyx and Fallon Henley's attempted interference in the match. After the match, The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) attack Lola Vice, then Jaida Parker runs into the ring and takes them all out single-handedly, with Jacy Jayne having to be helped out of the ring. Lola confronts Jaida, and referees have to hold them back.
Backstage, Adrianne Rizzo tells Tony D'Angelo that she is also scared. D'Angelo says he has disrespected and failed the family, but Adrianne says that D'Angelo has to carry that fear and that no matter what, he will always have the family. She says she is seeing what this is doing to D'Angelo and knows that he wants another shot at Oba Femi, and D'Angelo says he does. Adrianne Rizzo says that if D'Angelo loses, he will do it through the fear, then tells him that the family believes in him and that he must believe in himself.
Tyrese Haliburton is in the ring to get Trick Williams and "All Ego" Ethan Page to sign the contract for their match, then says he has reinforcements in the front row in the form of his Indiana Pacers teammates. The crowd boos, and Tyrese says he would boo too if he were an Orlando Magic fan. Trick Williams shows up and shows respect to Tyrese, saying that just like how Team USA won gold in Paris, he will win gold in Chicago, Illinois. Trick then calls out Ethan Page, telling him to sign the contract before he signs his forehead with a Gucci loafer. Ethan Page shows up as Trick signs the contract and says this is ridiculous, and says he gave Trick an out but did not take it. Ethan says that if he has to sign the contract, he will do it, then says that when it comes to the NXT Championship, he is the Boston Celtics, and when he beats Trick in Chicago, he will be like the Indiana Pacers and the rest of the NBA when he has to watch him be victorious. Ethan then says he will continue to carry the championship and the brand, then signs the contract. Tyrese declares the championship match official, then says Trick knows what time it is before bringing out CM Punk. Punk gets in the ring and thanks Tyrese, then says Roxanne is soon to be the former NXT Women's Champion and announces that Ethan and Trick's match is so big that it needs something special. The fans chant "Referee," and CM Punk agrees the match needs a special guest referee, which is none other than himself. He says the only rule is that the official will be listened to, and since he is the official, they can start fighting right now. Trick and Ethan immediately brawl with referees and security moving quickly into place while CM Punk leads a "Let them fight!" chant to end the show.

The Great American Bash, Night One - NXT recap for July 30, 2024
We see Hank Walker and Tank Walker at the Performance Center sneaking into the building to become the hosts of tonight's show. They try hacking a computer, pulling a plug on a server and dodging lasers before causing a power outage. They soon find the breaker, and after pulling the switch, the show begins.
The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn) retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships against Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson). After the match, "All Ego" Ethan Page shows up and makes fun of Meta-Four (Lash, Jakara, Oro Mensah) for coming up short, and hopes Lash and Jakara console Oro Mensah after his loss, as there will be no fluke victories. He then goes for a cheap shot with the NXT Championship, but Oro gets him in a schoolkid pin and Lash and Jakara make the "three count."
In backstage footage from earlier today, Cedric Alexander talks to some Performance Center trainees when Shawn Spears says Cedric is in no position to dispense wisdom and that Brooks Jensen is beginning to see the light. Jensen shows up and challenges Cedric to a match.
Backstage, Hank Walker interviews Tavion Heights. Tavion talks about his athletic accomplishments and mentions Tony D'Angelo's athletic background as he gets ready for his Heritage Cup match. Tank Ledger interviews Tony D'Angelo. D'Angelo says that Tavion is an accomplished athlete, and that Tavion is about to find out how good he is as well.
We hear from Pete Dunne, who talks about how he has been in the business for eighteen years and has seen young men who cannot handle a setback. He says that he is young and bitter, and talks about the Butch gimmick as well as Tyler Bate's injury. He says that Sheamus, Tyler and Trick Williams are nothing like him, saying that Trick has yet to "figure it out" despite having everything it takes to be a superstar and needs his help. He says that next week, he will force Trick to figure it out.
Backstage, Trick Williams accepts Pete Dunne's challenge, saying it's time to "whup that ass" instead of "Whoop That Trick."
Tony D'Angelo retains the NXT Heritage Cup Championship against Tavion Heights two falls to one (2-1). After Round 1, Wren Sinclair is seen in the stands, and she is soon in Tavion Heights' corner. Tony D'Angelo scores the first fall with the Fuggedabout it with 2:32 (two minutes, thirty-two seconds) left in Round 3. After this happens, Wren Sinclair gets in the ring, yells at Tavion Heights and slaps him, firing him up enough to score the second fall with 2:38 (two minutes, thirty-eight seconds) left in Round 4. D'Angelo scores the third and deciding fall after two spinebusters with 1:22 (one minute, twenty-two seconds) left in Round 5.
We see footage of Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx and Fallon Henley irritated with Sol Ruca, Karmen Petrovic and Lola Vice taking their spots. Lola Vice proposes via Instagram that they all have a six-woman tag match.
Cedric Alexander beats Brooks Jensen after Jensen misses the kick from the ring apron to the table. Shawn Spears shows up to watch from ringside during the match.
We hear from Je'Von Evans, who talks about how wrestling was an escape in the middle of his parents' rocky relationship and eventual divorce, and how it also got him in trouble in school by telling teachers to "suck it" and hitting a Swanton Bomb off the top of a wall. Je'Von also talks about how he got started wrestling on trampolines before taking the dream of a professional wrestling career seriously.
Backstage, Joe Hendry heads to the ring, and Ashante "Thee" Adonis wants to see what Hendry's concert is all about.
The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, Wes Lee) hang out at the treehouse, which now has a green curtain. Wes Lee finds out the treehouse is magic, the three of the still cannot believe they are together again in NXT, and while they cannot smoke weed due to the show being PG, they are focused on the NXT Tag Team Championships, with MSK (Zachary Wentz and Wes Lee) never having actually lost them. Wes Lee texts Nathan Frazer and Axiom for a tag team title shot.
Joe Hendry is in the ring for his first WWE concert. Hendry, knowing that the world believes, needs a song that he knows almost everyone will love. Hendry starts off with a performance of "I C Double Me And You" that is NXT-centric and allows him to poke fun at Booker T and Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang). Hendry then goes for an encore, but Gallus shows up before he can get started. Joe Coffey calls Hendry a flash in the pan, a one-hit wonder and a one-trick pony before threatening to deck him if he hears him sing again. Coffey dares Hendry to take a swing at him, and when he does, Gallus completely overpowers him. Joe Coffey grabs Hendry's guitar and breaks it over Hendry's back.
Backstage, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger go for a world record for most Post-It-Notes on a person's face in 60 seconds in front of Roxanne Perez, who is visibly annoyed. As Roxanne says she is getting ready for her match, Jaida Parker shows up and says Roxanne may not have her title after tonight.
Ava moderates a contract signing backstage between "All Ego" Ethan Page and Oro Mensah, and it becomes very obvious that Ethan Page has been bothered by everything Oro Mensah has done, even though he says it does not matter. Ethan Page signs the contract as he says Oro Mensah will not beat him, and Oro Mensah says that after being the man who has never fit in, he signs the contract after stating that the NXT Championship will fit perfectly around his waist.
Jaida Parker beats Kendal Grey. During the match, Myles Borne and Wren Sinclair show up and confront Carlee Bright, and Kendal Grey leaves the ring to hit Myles with a belly-to-belly suplex.
Thea Hail gets ready for her match. Ridge Holland tells Thea that nobody will be throwing in the towel and to do whatever it takes to become NXT Women's Champion. The rest of Chase University (Andre Chase, Duke Hudson, Riley Osbourne) shows up, and Andre Chase has a bit of trepidation regarding Ridge's words.
Backstage, Nathan Frazer and Axiom meet with Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro when Robert Stone and Stevie Turner shows up with a contract for an NXT tag team title match. Axiom signs before Frazer does, which bugs Frazer. Axiom says they will be fine just like he will be fine with his match on Speed tomorrow.
Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx and Fallon Henley beat Sol Ruca, Lola Vice and Karmen Petrovic in a six-woman tag match.
Backstage, Tatum Paxley wants to play with Kelani Jordan, but Kelani is not in the mood. When Paxley wants to face Kelani for the NXT North American Women's Championship, Kelani says she does not play when it comes to the title. Paxley says that neither does she. Wendy Choo watches from nearby, even as Kelani looks at the dollhouse.
Backstage, Joe Hendry says it was not just the fans that were excited about tonight, as he was also excited about his first NXT concert. He says Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) had to ruin it and that they are driven by anger and jealousy with Joe Coffey at the wheel. Hendry says he is driven by proving that he belongs in NXT and that he can hang with the best in the world, and next week, he is kicking Joe Coffey's ass and forcing Gallus to believe in him.
Roxanne Perez retains the NXT Women's Championship against Thea Hail in a match that sees an exchange of submission holds until Roxanne Perez hits the Pop Rox out of the crossface to win and retain.

Wes Lee texts Nathan Frazer and Axiom for a tag team title shot.
Joe Hendry is in the ring for his first WWE concert. Hendry, knowing that the world believes, needs a song that he knows almost everyone will love. Hendry starts off with a performance of "I C Double Me And You" that is NXT-centric and allows him to poke fun at Booker T and Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang). Hendry then goes for an encore, but Gallus shows up before he can get started. Joe Coffey calls Hendry a flash in the pan, a one-hit wonder and a one-trick pony before threatening to deck him if he hears him sing again.

Trick says Ashante needs help picking up the ball, then refers to Hit Row. Cedric says Trick is letting emotion cloud his judgment, while Ashante says that Trick is in "a distant third place."
