The show begins with General Manager William Regal announcing that Keith Lee has asked for time to address the fans. Keith Lee says it has been an incredible couple of weeks, and that he knows how much work it takes to get to NXT. After thanking his trainer, the late "Killer" Tim Brooks, he says that when opportunity struck, he became a champion. He says that he knows what opportunity is, and while he is limitless, he is not a limiting champion. Therefore, he will relinquish the NXT North American Championship to ensure other people get the same opportunities he did. Regal says he love the idea, and mentions that there will be Triple Threat Qualifying Matches where the winners will take part in a Ladder Match to decide a new North American Champion.

Dexter Lumis beats Killian Dain by submission.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Roderick Strong, who says that tonight is the night that The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Strong) get back on track after the last few strange weeks.

He tells Roderick he is owed nothing and that Keith Lee created opportunity, and he is ready to prove he can be a big player in NXT.

She also warns Stone not to step outside of his boundaries or else she will break both of his legs. Stone welcomes Mercedes to his brand.

We hear from Finn Balor, who says that if Keith Lee is giving NXT opportunities, he will take advantage of the fact that he is "not man enough" to defend a title and take the North American Championship even though he does not need charity. He warns Dexter Lumis and Timothy Thatcher that their opportunity sucks, because they have him to deal with and their push just hit the ceiling. He then says that the NXT North American Championship is getting "the Finn Balor rub." This match is announced as official for next week.

Karrion Kross beats Dominik Dijakovic. During the match, Kross kicks the steel steps into Dijakovic's head, knocking him out.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for July 15, 2020

Keith Lee shows up to start tonight's show. Lee says that he is at a crossroads, as the last few months have been a little difficult and he understands that more than anyone, but the ring he is standing in has something so incredible special and he stands in it as double champion. He says that he is not in disbelief or fooling himself, as he is stuck in reality and he knows that everyone wants the same opportunity that he has managed to earn. He understands that opportunity and chances created this, and that he did not do this on his own. Lee says that his trainer Tim Brooks believed in him when nobody else did, and that the fans made sure that when he came to NXT, they welcomed him with the most open arms and made him who he is now. He then says that one more person has been playing a pivotal part in this and that he has seen him backstage. That man is Dominik Dijakovic, whom he asks to come to the ring so they can talk. Dijakovic shows up and says that nobody on the planet is more proud of Lee than him, and Lee credits Dijakovic for propelling him into opportunity with their rivalry, as he is the one person to test his limits. Lee says that the best way to honor his championships is through competition, and after talking with General Manager William Regal, he feels that the first challenger should be Dijakovic. Dijakovic asks Lee when he wants to do this, and Lee says they should do it tonight. After Lee tells him "Just say yes," Dijakovic stops talking and just says "yes."

Damian Priest beats Cameron Grimes.

Timothy Thatcher teaches some prospects that for every submission, there is something to be learned. He teaches the Fujiwara Arm Bar that he recently put on Oney Lorcan, and that while a tap is educational, embarrassing your opponent is satisfaction.

Legado Del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) meet in what looks like a mansion. They have a toast to their first victory together at The Great American Bash and the end of Drake Maverick, who "only has a job because he kept crying on YouTube." They also agree what they did to Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) is an example of what happens when someone mocks the lucha libre culture, which they call art as they are "the true lucha libre artists." Escobar says that to build their empire, they must sometimes tear things down to build them back up.

Keith Lee retains the NXT North American Championship and NXT Championship against Dominik Dijakovic. Both men show respect after the match, then the arena goes dark. Scarlett then appears on the stage with a black bag in her hand, and she walks down to the ring. She then places the contents - pieces of a broken hourglass - near the ring apron, then walks away.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Dominik Dijakovic, who says that Keith Lee is on a whole new level and that Karrion Kross cannot compete with him. Kross shows up and confronts Dijakovic for those words, then both men brawl. The brawl ends with Kross tossing Dijakovic over a barricade with a back body drop that lays Dijakovic out.

Timothy Thatcher beats Denzel Dejournette with a single leg crab, then locks it on again after the match. Oney Lorcan runs into the ring and attacks Thatcher.

Finn then asks who will be next to "get that Finn rub," then he is met by Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel.

Before he and Fish get in the ring, Roderick Strong shows up, and Fish says they have bigger fish to fry than them. Riddle acknowledges that Bobby Fish said the word "fish," then asks Dunne how much fish Fish could fry if Fish could fry fish.

He then says Finn Balor needs this match as much as he does, but Finn Balor says he doesn't and says he will take his time with him. Gargano says this is the Finn Balor he needs, and says that he would eat the "Raw and SmackDown" him alive. Finn Balor says the old him died a long time ago, and that he is here to have the last match of Gargano's life. Gargano tells Balor that he can make all the threats that he wants, but come NXT TakeOver: Portland, he will take the NXT flag he left behind and drive it straight through his heart, then leaves.

Bianca then tells Charlotte "You're standing here, and you don't even go here!"

Suddenly, Toni Storm shows up. Toni congratulates Ripley, then brings up beating her for the NXT UK Women's Championship before stating she will win the title again on Sunday before becoming a double champion at Worlds Collide. Toni says this is only if Ripley has the guts to accepts her challenge, which Ripley does as she says that she does not mind beating her again. Suddenly, Kay Lee Ray shows up. Kay Lee Ray says nobody believes this will happen, as there is no way Toni will take the NXT UK Women's Championship from her, much less make it to Worlds Collide. Suddenly, Io Shirai shows up. After Io Shirai dictates that the NXT Women's title will be hers, Bianca Belair shows up and says she is better than everyone else - and that Toni Storm doesn't even go here - before Candice LeRae shows up.

While he will not take away from what Finn Balor has done for NXT and how he injured him, Finn did not finish the job. He then says the main difference between him and Finn is that he chose to stay in NXT while Finn got out at the first opportunity, and he picked NXT up from where it left off and took it to the stratosphere without Finn Balor, which eats Finn Balor alive. As Gargano states that it eats Finn Balor alive that he was not needed for NXT to succeed, Finn Balor shows up and says promos are all Gargano is cleared for.

The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) show up. Cole says that The Undisputed Era had a November to remember when they took over Raw and SmackDown before embarrassing both brands at Survivor Series. While the month may be over, the year of prophecy has only just begun, for The Undisputed Era are the iron men of NXT. He then says NXT repaid them by injuring Bobby Fish's neck and throwing Cole into the crowd like a rag doll. Cole demands respect, for he is the NXT Champion. Cole then brings up Finn Balor kicking him in the face, and demands answers from Balor by refusing to leave the ring until they get them. Instead of Finn Balor, The Undisputed Era get Keith Lee, and O'Reilly calls Keith Lee a moment maker who has nothing to show for making memories before calling him "the belle of the ball" from what he has done as of late. Lee gives The Undisputed Era credit, for he is a moment maker, but they forgot to call him a game changer. Keith Lee says that while The Undisputed Era may have all the gold, Cole is now one of the most viral GIFs on the Internet today while he is victorious against The Undisputed Era at WarGames. Lee then eyes all of the championship belt that The Undisputed Era have, wondering which one to take first. Cole proposes they make a moment right now, when they beat Keith Lee down and end his career. Keith Lee strikes Adam Cole, then fights off O'Reilly and Strong while Cole retreats.

As Mia Yim and Dakota brawl their way to the back, "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir arrive and gang up on Ripley. Baszler gets Ripley in the Kirifuda Clutch, and while Ripley is able to escape it, but the numbers game proves too much. Three referees have to get Baszler to break the hold.

The NXT locker room celebrates their Survivor Series victory to start the show, then The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) shows up. Cole says the only reason NXT was successful over the weekend was because of them, and that everyone else in the locker room did absolutely nothing. Cole says that they dominated at both War Games and Survivor Series because they are the "iron men" of the brand, and while everyone else is taking the night off, they will successfully defend the NXT Tag Team Championships because that is what they do. Tommaso Ciampa, having had enough, interrupts, saying that they are confident for four men who got beaten at War Games, and that everyone else is seeing what is going on except them. He states that War Games is the beginning of the end for The Undisputed Era, and while The Undisputed Era has all the gold, the decline will continues when The Undisputed Era lose the tag team titles. Ciampa tells Roderick Strong that his days are also numbered, and that "Goldy" will soon be coming home now that "Daddy" has gone to war and won. He then tells Cole that he will find out what he is in for, as there is not one member of The Undisputed Era that is no longer in his way. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up and tells Ciampa he is standing in his way, but Ciampa reminds him of his "The business watches me" statement, then proposes that they have a one-on-one match.

Xia Li manages to hold her own against all three of them for a time, but the numbers game soon catches up. Baszler then takes the microphone and says that everyone is trying to take credit for what happened weekend and that nobody had a weekend like she did when she beat Becky Lynch and Bayley at the same time. As she brags that she has held the NXT Women's Championship for over a year, Rhea Ripley shows up, but Baszler, Duke and Shafir walk away as Ripley walks out of the ring. Ripley tells Baszler that she came here to say something to her face to face, which causes Baszler to go back to the ring. She congratulates Baszler for winning at Survivor Series, then says she beat her when they went face-to-face and that she will do it again, but next time, it will be for the NXT Women's Championship. Baszler says she has heard this song and dance before, and while Ripley is the nightmare, she is the reality, and that the reality will be "tappin' or nappin' just like the rest of 'em."

She says that Bayley is crying like a little girl with an old woman haircut about being unappreciated and overlooked, and says that she destroyed all the "Bayley Buddies" except for "the blue-haired one that is holding her back," and while Bayley may be a champ, she is the champ. As for "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, she introduced herself at SmackDown, but she is here in NXT to remind Baszler of who she really is, as she does not need to hide in the shadows or attack from behind. She says that Baszler can bring Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir if it makes her feel safe, then asks Baszler what she will do about her being on her brand.

As he realizes why he has had any success in NXT, Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Ciampa says that over the last week and a half, it has been noted that Gargano is at his best when he is with him.
