Generation NXT - NXT recap for December 16, 2020

Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory - now officially known as "The Way" along with Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell - beat Leon Ruff and KUSHIDA. After the match, Dexter Lumis is seen on a platform with a pen in his hand and an electronic easel in front of him.



We hear from Toni Storm, who talks about her rivalry with Rhea Ripley - and how she has "chased the nightmare out of the UK" - and that she only cares about herself now and that she will end their rivalry on her terms tonight.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Shotzi Blackheart. Shotzi says she is proud of her team for giving Candice LeRae's team a beating they barely survived, but says her rivalry with Candice is far from over, and after breaking Candice's arm, she will break her best friend.



Before the next match, Tommaso Ciampa lays a steel chair with a "Thatch As That Can Style Wrestling" T-Shirt on it at the bottom of the ramp.

Tommaso Ciampa beats Tyler Rust. During the match, Timothy Thatcher shows up to get a closer look at the match, but he is hit with an inadvertent big boot by Tyler Rust that is ducked by Ciampa. This gets Thatcher angry at Ciampa, and multiple referees have to show up to escort Thatcher to the back. After the match, Thatcher shows up again, being held back by three referees.



We hear from Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake). Zack Gibson says there is nothing more important than momentum, and while there are a slew of new tag teams, they are still the best tag team around.



We see a vignette for Karrion Kross, who says that no matter where the time is told, everybody pays the toll, and that doomsday is still coming.

In footage from during the break, Malcolm Bivens is seen talking to Tyler Rust, telling him that he is a star. Bivens and Rust fist bump, then head to the back.

Dexter Lumis is seen drawing the logo for NXT New Year's Evil on the platform.

Kyle O'Reilly beats Pete Dunne to face Finn Balor for the NXT Championship at New Year's Evil. Before the match begins, Drake Maverick and Killian Dain show up to attack Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, as does Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango), who have not been seen in some time. Everyone outside of the ring is forced to the back, while Pete Dunne and Kyle O'Reilly go at it as soon as the bell rings.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Rhea Ripley, who says that Raquel Gonzalez is a different animal all by herself. She also says she and Toni Storm have history, and that regardless of who has changed, she will finish Toni Storm once and for all.



We see Xia Li and Boa go through even more torture, with Xia Li striking Boa to the point that he is bloodied and bruised.



Shotzi Blackheart beats Indi Hartwell after Hartwell gets caught using a trophy as a weapon while Candice LeRae distracts the referee. After the match, Candice and Hartwell hit Shotzi with the Wicked Stepsister.



We see another vignette for Karrion Kross, who says that doomsday is still coming and that God help the obstacles that are in his path.

We see a video package for Bronson Reed, who returns next week.

Karrion Kross beats Desmond Troy with the Kross Jacket in his first match in three months.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, who says that he has been around longer and working harder than Jake Atlas, and that he will win their rematch next week. After Swerve leaves, Ever-Rise shows up and says that their loss to Grizzled Young Veterans is unfair and that it should be stricken from the record.



Dexter Lumis' finished artwork is displayed, which reveals that he will be the host for NXT New Year's Evil.

We hear from Finn Balor, who says that Kyle O'Reilly is an underdog who belongs in the ring with him, and still lost despite breaking his jaw. He says that O'Reilly will suffer, and that it will be the end when they face off again.



Damian Priest vs. Karrion Kross is official for NXT New Year's Evil.

Toni Storm beats Rhea Ripley after Raquel Gonzales shows up and sends Ripley into the ring post.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for September 16, 2020

Io Shirai beats Shotzi Blackheart. Both women show good sportsmanship after the match.



We see a video package for Tommaso Ciampa, who is in action next.

Next week: an NXT Women's Championship #1 Contender Battle Royal!

Tommaso Ciampa beats Desmond Troy (formerly known as Denzel Dejournette). After the match, Jake Atlas shows up and says he is not a coward and knows how much of a threat Ciampa is, then says next week, it is his turn to eat and show dangerous he can be.



In footage from earlier today, Drake Maverick says that he and Killian Dain will take care of business as a team tonight, despite the lack of communication or enthusiasm from Killian Dain.

We hear from Finn Balor, who says that everyone wanted to know who was the best between him and Adam Cole. Finn says that Cole was undisputed, but he is the only prince. Finn says that in his first NXT Championship reign, he built and carried NXT, but now, he is the brand and the brand needs him. He says that he has made the NXT Championship the most important in the game, as he has fought 20 years to be champion. He says that it is time for people to start facing the champion, then tells everyone to form a queue and get in line, and look both ways before facing The Prince.



Before the next match, Austin Theory says he is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer and that Bronson Reed got a fluke victory last week, and that he will prove it right now. KUSHIDA then shows up to fight Theory.

KUSHIDA beats Austin Theory with the Hoverboard Lock.



We hear from Candice LeRae, who tells Tegan Nox that she changed for the better, while Johnny Gargano complains about the broken television from last week and sending Tegan the bill for a new one. LeRae then says she will win next week's #1 contender battle royal, then Gargano says he has bought a brand new television.



Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) retain the NXT Tag Team Championships against Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel) after Fandango stops the European Bomb.



Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter beat Jessi Kamea and Xia Li. Jessi Kamea shows good sportsmanship with Kacy and Kayden after the match, but Xia Li walks away without shaking hands.



Backstage, Drake Maverick meets with Killian Dain, who makes it clear he wants nothing to do with Maverick as he wishes Maverick luck and leaves him to fend for himself tonight.

We hear from Tegan Nox, who tells Candice LeRae that at the end of the day, she is the one who has not changed and that the Candice she knew cared about her and not herself. She says that getting her old friend back did not happen, and that Candice winning next week's battle royal will not happen, as she will become the #1 contender for the NXT Women's Championship and make everything different against Io Shirai the second time around.



Drake Maverick and Killian Dain beat The Undisputed Era (Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong) by disqualification. During the match, General Manager William Regal confronts Killian Dain for staying backstage and deserting Drake Maverick, and Dain decides to head to the ring. Dain places Maverick back into the ring and tells him to "take it like a man," but when he heads backstage, The Undisputed Era mouth off at him, which causes Killian Dain to go back to the ring and fight them. The match ends after Bobby Fish hits Killain Dain with a chair to no effect, and both Dain and Maverick dare The Undisputed Era to get back in the ring. When Maverick tells Dain they are a team and shoves him, however, he gets knocked out again.



In footage from earlier tonight, Jake Atlas is attacked from behind by Tommaso Ciampa. Kyle O'Reilly confronts Ciampa, and Ciampa tells both Atlas and O'Reilly that he will see them both next week.



We hear from General Manager William Regal, who announces that there will be a new #1 contender for the NXT Championship decided in the Gauntlet Eliminator Match. Two men start in the ring, and another competitor enters every four minutes. The last man standing will face Finn Balor for the NXT Championship.

Damian Priest retains the NXT North American Championship against Timothy Thatcher.
