Generation NXT - NXT recap for December 5, 2023

Before the opening match, we see security camera footage of Roxanne Perez and Kiana James brawling in the Peformance Center.

Fallon Henley beats Thea Hail, Roxanne Perez and Kiana James and qualifies for the women's Iron Survivor Challenge after Roxanne Perez puts Kiana James through the announce table from off the barricade and Fallon Henley hits a Shining Wizard after kicking out of a roll-up so hard that Thea Hail bounces into the ropes.

Ilja Dragunov is seen entering the arena.

Backstage, Kelly Kincaid interviews Lyra Valkyria. After giving credit to Fallon Henley, Lola Vice and Elektra Lopez show up. Lola Vice says she can cash in her contract anytime she wants. Lyra says she is ready anytime she is, then Elektra says that Lyra could get an early Christmas present and they could both cash in on the women's tag titles. Suddenly, Tatum Paxley shows up and challenges Lola, wanting to know if Lola is always ready like she says she is while teasing Lyra's hair, much to Lyra's annoyance.

Backstage, Wes Lee is seen with crutches.

Wes Lee is on a crutch in the middle of the ring. Wes says he was entertaining the thought of beating "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio to become North American Champion again, but it will not be happening at Deadline. He says that Dominik cannot handle his heart, which can take on any opponent under any circumstance and the one that people cheered on week after week to inspire him to do things he never thought he could, but his heart and that support cannot help him right now. He says that it will not help with the excruciating pain and that it will take time and surgery for him to come back. Wes admits he does not know when he will return, but when he does, he will further cement his legacy as one of the best to ever do this. He says this is not a goodbye, as he is far from being done, and for now, he will see the fans later. As Wes Lee leaves, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up and mocks Wes Lee. Dominik says he does not doubt that Wes Lee needs surgery, as he looks like he could barely stand, then says his back hurts for carrying WWE for the past two years, then says he has the night off. Wes Lee tells Dominik he still has a match at Deadline, and Rey Mysterio says he will be there to make sure the match happens when he is the corner of Dominik's new opponent: Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee heads to the ring, and both he and Dominik brawl until Dominik flees.

Backstage, Izzy Dame shows up and checks on Kiana James in the trainer's room, and Kiana says she will end Roxanne Perez next time she sees her. Roxanne is in the same room, and she goes at it with Kiana. Ava shows up and says she will get with officials and make this match official for Deadline.

We hear from Riley Osbourne, Keanu Carver, Tavion Heights, Dion Lennox, Luca Crusifino, Myles Borne, Trey Bearhill and Oba Femi, who will all be in the NXT Men's Breakout Tournament next week.

Lola Vice beats Tatum Paxley. It is announced during the match that Wes Lee will have to get back surgery and that he will be out for eight to twelve months.

In footage from last week, Nathan Frazer is met by Axiom, who tells Frazer that he was asking for a beating from Ilja Dragunov. Frazer gets heated with Axiom, who is okay with him wanting to have a match with him after what happened. This ends up cooling Frazer down a little.

Outside of the arena, Kelly Kincaid interviews Baron Corbin, who says he has Ilja Dragunov where he wants him - out of his mind and out of control - and that it will be fun to take the NXT Championship off of him on Saturday.

We see footage of Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams talking in a conference room from "NXT Anonymous." After trick leaves, Carmelo is seen leaving shortly afterwards after texting on his phone.

Joe Gacy is suddenly seen behind the announce desk, screaming "Vic, we love you!" at Vic Joseph.

Alpha Academy (Chad Gable, Otis, Maxxine Dupri) beats Meta-Four (Noam Dar, Oro Mensah, Lash Legend) in a mixed six-person tag match after Chad Gable counters the Nova Roller with a knee bar and makes Noam Dar tap. During the match, Lash Legend is able to body slam Otis.

In footage from earlier this week, Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) heads to the bar and run into Hank Walker and Tank Ledger. Tank hands them three beers before they talk business, saying they want a match with Gallus. Gallus refuses at first, but after Hank and Tank are able to speak with them in a way they can understand, they accept. Wolfgang tells Hank and Tank to learn to walk before they can run with them.

Backstage, Ava - having come out of Shawn Michaels' office - says that Roxanne Perez and Kiana Perez cannot keep their hands off each other, and that they will both settle their differences in a steel cage match on Saturday.

Byron Saxton is in the ring with Fallon Henley, Tiffany Stratton, Kelani Jordan, Lash Legend and Blair Davenport. Tiffany says it will all start and stop with her, as she is the favorite going into the women's Iron Survivor Challenge because she is the best and future of the women's division. Kelani says she may be the newest woman coming in, but last time she checked, nobody else in the match was in it last year. She says her gymnastics career has kept her endurance top-notch, and that nobody will be able to keep up with her. Lash says nobody wants to hear Kelani speak, and says she begs to differ about Tiffany's athleticism. She says she knows a few things about multiple pinfalls thanks to Noam Dar, and she will bully everyone into the penalty box. Blair says she is not here to one-up everyone with one-liners and says she does not like anyone in the ring right now, and that she does not care about anyone's opinions and that everyone is afraid of her putting them on the shelf. Fallon says she does not care whose ass she has to kick to win the match, but Tiffany tells her she has no chance of winning while cutting Lash off. After Byron Saxton says everyone told her they would not do this, Fallon says well-behaved women rarely make history before punching Tiffany, starting a brawl.

Axiom vs. Nathan Frazer ends with Fallon Henley, Tiffany Stratton, Kelani Jordan, Lash Legend and Blair Davenport brawling their way into the ring. As this goes on, Nikkita Lyons returns and kicks Blair Davenport in the head on the ramp.

At Chase University, Andre Chase addresses the student body about what was mentioned in the press conference last week, then says the person who put the university in severe debt is him. Due to the investigation, the university is now under academic probation and that a few sanctions have been placed on the university, and anyone who enrolled after the investigation began will lose out on financial aid. Chase says he owes hundreds of thousands of dollars plus interest, and that he had to take out a loan after spending all his own money on the university and spending university assets afterwards. He says that he cannot pay back the loan and that he will have to do something to pay it back as quickly as possible. After taking ideas from other students, Riley Osborne suddenly speaks up, saying that Chase should look into taking a course on financial risk while also bringing what he learns from it into Chase University. Chase likes the idea, and Thea Hail ends up looking at Riley like she is in love with him, which does not go unnoticed by Jacy Jayne.

Backstage, Trick Williams confronts Carmelo Hayes over the footage from "NXT Anonymous." Carmelo Hayes tells him that they will talk about it after the men's Last Chance match.

In a video from X, Lexis King says that when one is a star, the camera always finds them, and now everyone is talking about Carmelo's match tonight and how he will supposedly interfere in it. He says he would not cost him a shot at the Iron Survivor Challenge, but at the same time, Carmelo knows that he does not miss, either.

Backstage, Kelly Kincaid interviews Eddy Thorpe, who says that his ribs are not 100%, but he is still going out there, and if he wins tonight, he gets a shot at Dijak for injuring him.

Tyler Bate beats Joe Coffey, Carmelo Hayes and Eddy Thorpe in a men's Last Chance Fatal 4-Way to qualify for the men's Iron Survivor Challenge. During the match, medical staff have to check on Thorpe after Joe Coffey hits Thorpe with a spinebuster on the ring steps. After the match, Tyler Bate says that he is the last to qualify and that a match unlike any other awaits him. He says to hell with peace and tranquility, and that the other competitors have no chance. Suddenly, Dijak shows up and says Tyler is as delusional as Eddy Thorpe before kicking Eddy in the ribs as he is held to the back. He then says that Tyler's heart must be working overtime if he thinks he will win. As Tyler says he has much more than just a chance, Bron Breakker shows up and says neither Dijak or Tyler know what they are in form, and that they should both hope and pray that they are the last entrant in the match or else they are going in the penalty box, which will become the safest place to be. He tells them to stay in the box after he sends them in there, then Josh Briggs shows up and says everyone underestimates him and that he likes it like that, as he has waited for his moment his entire life and he is betting on himself and shocking the world at Deadline. Breakker says Briggs is stupider than he looks before Trick Williams shows up and states that he will whoop everyone in the match. As Dijak says the only trick that Trick should be whooping is Carmelo Hates, Trick punches him in the face, starting a brawl that security and officials quickly gets involved in to break it up.

Backstage, Carmelo Hayes talks with Ava, then Trick Williams confronts Carmelo, wanting to know if Carmelo told Lexis King to take him out. Carmelo denies it and says he will take him out Saturday to prove it, with Ava going to the office to make the match official. Carmelo says he is not sticking to his word and is standing on business, but Trick says that Carmelo is opening the show while he closes it.

Ilja Dragunov and Baron Corbin have a face-to-face meeting in the ring. Dragunov tells Corbin he has turned their championship into more than a battle for the title on his shoulder after he brought his personal life into it, and while Corbin can mock him, he will pay for mocking his sacrifices. Corbin considers Dragunov's sacrifices "excuses," and says he has turned his back on his son, took a plane to America and left, and makes excuses so he can sleep at night, as those excuses are what his father did to him. Dragunov quickly takes off his suit and tie, then says he is trying to contain this, for if he unleashes it now and not on Saturday, then there will be no match on Saturday and he will leave in an ambulance with no opportunity to add his title to his lavish life. He then calls Corbin "a materialistic son-of-a-bitch," but Corbin says this is about vindication. Corbin says this is just another high-profile match for Dragunov to prove to his son why he is here, but he has to win to prove that his work to get where he is was worth it. Dragunov topples the table, but Corbin says he has been through hell and back and has always found a way. He then dares Dragunov to put him through the table in the ring and do it for his family, but he does not. Corbin says he will take away his only reason for being here, but Dragunov grabs Corbin suddenly and tells him that the only one who can destroy the dragon is the dragon himself. Afterwards, Tyler Bate, Trick Williams, Bron Breakker, Dijak and Josh Briggs brawl their way into the ring, and security and officials have to break up the brawl. The brawl ends with Bron Breakker putting Trick Williams through a table.

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 5, 2022

In footage from earlier today, The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa, Sami Zayn) pull up at the arena when they are interviewed by Byron Saxton. Suddenly, Matt Riddle speeds by on his scooter, then Jey Uso says he and Jimmy will get Riddle and Elias like they get everyone else. Suddenly, Elias shows up as Jimmy is speaking, but he is jumped from behind by Solo Sikoa.

The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa, Sami Zayn) head to the ring. Before the next match, Jimmy Uso announces that tonight's tag team title match is cancelled after The Bloodline beat up Matt Riddle and Elias, then says Riddle does not have to be humiliated tonight and Elias can work on any song he wants to. Suddenly, Riddle shows up and says beating up Elias before he could get some WWE gold, then says it is not "Ucey" for The Bloodline to run from a fight, then Sami Zayn says Riddle cannot decide what is and what is not Ucey and that he is an "Uceologist." He says that Solo Sikoa proving why he is the enforcer is "Ucey," as is The Usos proving they are the best tag team of all time. He then says Riddle showing up thinking he had a chance is "not Ucey," and suggest to Riddle that he go home or get beaten up like Elias. Riddle then says that he has found a tag team partner and that there will be a tag team title match tonight. He then admits that while they do not get along, they hate The Bloodline. Kevin Owens shows up.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) retain the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships against Kevin Owens and Matt Riddle following the distraction from Sami Zayn that allows The Usos to hit the 1D for the win. After the match, The Usos and Sami Zayn attack Riddle, but Owens runs them off with a chair. Solo Sikoa, however, sticks around in the ring and attacks Riddle before hitting him with the Samoan Spike. Solo then smashes Riddle with a hip attack in the corner before bringing a chair into the ring. He wraps the chair around Riddle's neck, then hits another hip attack on the chair. Solo leaves as medical staff fit Matt Riddle with a neck brace and place him on a stretcher.

It is announced that there are two women's Triple Threat Matches tonight. Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross are in one, while Asuka, Bayley and Rhea Ripley are in the other. The two winners will square off next week to decide a #1 contender for the Raw women's title.

Backstage, Rhea Ripley says Bayley and Asuka have been incredible and very good at what they do, but they are not her, and when she is done with them and Bianca, the Raw women's division will call her "Mami."

JBL's Poker Invitational takes place backstage. JBL welcomes everyone to the event, then Dexter Lumis shows up with his Louis Vuitton bag of money. JBL tells Dexter he is not invited until Dexter dumps the money, which causes JBL to change his tune.

Before the next match, Becky Lynch shows up in the crowd and says hello to Bayley, then says she was thinking about how Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky) beat her up last week before saying they have not faced each other one-on-one in three years. She says they barely scratched the surface, then she left and Bayley accomplished a lot, then they kept missing each other when one returned and the other was gone, but Bayley makes it clear that she does not care and that Becky only cares about herself. Bayley then says that she cares about the fans, not Becky, and that she has been looking out for the fans and the locker room since Becky had been gone, and that the fans have no respect for what she has been doing. Becky says that only two-thirds of Damage CTRL have been successful because she sees "two champs and one loser," then says she hopes Bayley wins so they can see if she is tough enough to face "The Man." As Becky leaves, she comes face-to-face with Rhea Ripley, and a referee has to stop them from getting physical during their stand-off. Both of them sarcastically wish each other good luck, then Rhea heads to the ring and Becky heads to the back.

He says that he has a lot of things to say to Lashley, but with Lashley not here, it is not a lot of fun, and he would rather the crowd have fun singing his song. Suddenly, Lashley arrives. Lashley says he is here and asks Rollins what he would like to tell him, then tells him to be careful with that. Rollins says Lashley has not been the same since he lost to Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel, and wants to know what is up with his obsession with Lesnar. Lashley says Rollins is trying to get under his skin and rattle him again, but Rollins concludes that Lashley is jealous, not scared, of Brock Lesnar, and that Lesnar had the career Lashley wishes he had. Lashley grabs Rollins and says this is about the two of them and the championship that should be around his waist, but Rollins says the championship will not fill the void that Lesnar made, and that if he does not get his head right, winning will be easier for him than last time.Lashley clotheslines Rollins immediately, and this starts a brawl that quickly goes to the outside that officials have to break up. Rollins breaks free and gets his hands on Lashley again, but he is corralled by officials into the ring. This doesn't stop Lashley from breaking through and getting to Rollins, and officials have to break them up. Lashley then inadvertently hits Petey Williams with a Spear.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Austin Theory, who says that he saw two former champions of the past fighting over scraps while unaware that they have been forgotten about while "the forever" is just beginning.

Theory tells Ali that he just keep running his mouth and getting beaten down, and tells him to quit. Ali says he will not quit and he will get back in his face and become champion. Theory says that if he wants his shot, then says that once he is done with him, he does not want to hear from him about title shots again.

At JBL's Poker Invitational, Chad Gable boasts that he knows what poker is all about. This leads to a "shoosh-nerd" battle between Gable and Luke Gallows while Baron Corbin tries to get a read on Dexter Lumis and thinks he has nothing. Corbin has a straight, but Dexter has a full house. Corbin accuses Dexter of cheating, and as he threatens to beat him up, Dexter puts an axe on the table, which shuts Corbin up. At the other table, Akira Tozawa and Dominik Mysterio have a verbal altercation after Dominik is caught cheating, and JBL tells them to take it outside. Tozawa tells Dominik he will see him in the ring.

Austin Theory retains the WWE United States Championship by disqualification against Mustafa Ali after he is suddenly attacked from behind by Dolph Ziggler. After the match, Ali confronts Ziggler, but Theory lays both of them out and hits Ziggler with the A-Town Down.

Backstage, JBL is met by The Miz, who wants to know why he was not invited to the JBL's Poker Invitational. When JBL tells him he must buy in, The Miz mentions he has no money and offers his Rolex, but JBL tells him his Rolex is not real. An offended Miz leaves.

Backstage at JBL's Poker Invitational, Baron Corbin gets caught with some extra cards in his sleeve. This leads to Baron Corbin and Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) arguing with The O.C ("The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson), which leads to them having a match and Dexter Lumis walking away with all the money.

General Manager Johnny Saint and Assistant Sid Scala moderate negotions between Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang) and Imperium (Walter, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel, Alexander Wolfe). Joe Coffey and Walter show up as representatives for both parties. Joe Coffey refuses to sit down as they get down to business, and tells Walter that if Imperium wants to keep walking down the path they are on, they will get hurt. Coffey says he has not forgotten what he did to him at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool back in January, and says he wants the WWE United Kingdom Championship. Walter says he does not step back from any competition, but he wants something in return: Wolfgang and Mark Coffey defending the NXT UK Tag Team Championships. Joe Coffey says that is fine, as he knows Gallus, but he wants Ilya Dragunov vs. Alexander Wolfe as well. Joe Coffey says that Dragunov does not run with them, and Walter says "No Ilya, no deal." Suddenly, Dragunov shows up. Dragunov simply says "Make the agreement," then Coffey tells Walter they have a deal. Scala announces that the tag team titles will be defended next week, while Dragunov vs. Wolfe in a no-disqualification match will take place at a later date. The WWE United Kingdom Championship match between Joe Coffey and Walter at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II is then made official. As Dragunov leaves, Walter tells him he made a really bad decision. Suddenly, Alexander Wolfe grabs Dragunov from underneath the ring, and Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel come of the crowd to further ambush Dragunov. Walter then hits Dragunov with a big boot before Wolfe puts Dragunov through the table in the middle of the ring.

Next week: EC3 vs. Bobby Fish!

Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Ciampa says another TakeOver is in the books, and once again, he is NXT's MVP. He says that he has proven his word time and time again, and not only has he exposed the mystique, but he has turned the Dream into a nightmare. Unfortunately, the fans do not accept him as NXT Champion, and says nobody believes in him. He also says that Mauro Ranallo does not even believe in him on commentary, then says "Mama mia, here I stand!" Ciampa then says that his title reign will go down as the single greatest reign in NXT and that children will grow up and study his work. He says is not flavor of the week or the month, he is Sports Illustrated Entertainer of the Year for 2018 and will be for 2019. Suddenly, Aleister Black shows up. Aleister says he stood toe-to-toe with Johnny Gargano and absolved him of sins that Ciampa created. He then says that Ciampa is not really a champion, as he sees original sin that he too will absolve, as he invokes his rematch clause for the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix. Johnny Gargano suddenly shows up and says it's not over between him and Aleister, and says it is not over when he says it's over. Ciampa says he likes it when Gargano comes in and becomes "Johnny Badass," and says that when Gargano gets fixated on something, he refuses to let go. Ciampa says that both men nearly kicked each other's heads off and that they should have been in the War Games cage, and says that if it were him, he would want to finish this once and for all inside of a steel cage. He knows that both Aleister and Gargano - as well as the fans - love the sound of a steel cage match between both men. Gargano asks the fans if that is what they want, and accepts the challenge. Johnny says he is "Johnny Freakin' Wrestling," and Aleister says that "Johnny Wrestling" is dead and that he will fight him anywhere, including a parking lot. Gargano says he injured him for three months the last time that happened, and nearly gets his head kicked off. Gargano slides out just in time, but Ciampa isn't as lucky as Aleister kicks him off the apron before staring down Gargano from inside the ring.
