Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews The Dirty Dawgs (Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode). Robert Roode says everyone has forgotten that he is a former NXT Champion and dominated in NXT for a year, and without him, NXT would not be what it is today and would not give an opportunity to a guy like Bron Breakker. Dolph Ziggler tells Robert Roode to break Bron Breakker, but to leave some room for him, as Bron Breakker is about to find out that he is nothing compared to him.

We hear from Grayson Waller and Sanga. Waller says that Stand & Deliver will not measure up without him, then talks about his recent Last Man Standing match before saying he will be the only man standing when he becomes North American Champion.

As Robert Stone and Von Wagner talk about business backstage, a woman shows up wanting to talk business with Stone.

Before the next match, Zack Gibson says he knows that The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) got attacked last week before asking them if they trust those "beef jerky ears" of theirs, saying he and James Drake did not attack them from behind.

Gunther beats Duke Hudson. After the match, Gunther says he is the most dominant competitor in NXT, yet he has been overlooked. As he says it is a disgrace that LA Knight can talk himself into a title match, LA Knight shows up. As LA Knight is about to speak, Gunther tells him to shut up and listen and that he represents everything wrong with wrestling, as his mouth gets him into title matches but he does not have the skill to win them. Knight tells Gunther that if he interrupts him again, he will knock his hair off his head, and says that he was going to get a match for Stand & Deliver until Walter jumped in, then goes a different route by punching Gunther. Imperium (Gunther, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel) jump LA Knight, but MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) show up to even the odds against Imperium. Knight and MSK stand tall in the ring.

We hear from Cameron Grimes. Cameron says that he wears his heart on his sleeve, and last week, he was upset and emotional.

Io Shirai reminds Mandy Rose that she said she would fight any woman for that title, then Kay Lee Ray says they will cash their tag team title shot on Mandy Rose and make it a Fatal 4-Way match. Gigi Dolin throws her champagne into Kay Lee Ray's face, and when Toxic Attraction attack Shirai and Kay Lee Ray, Cora Jade shows up to even the odds.

He says that if it were not Apollo Crews or Commander Azeez, last night would have been the last night for Styles in a WWE ring.

Wes Lee says the last time they were here, they lost the NXT tag team titles, but Nash Carter said they went on a beautiful journey, met Matt Riddle, and are flying higher than ever. Riddle appears on the TitanTron from his home and apologizes for not being there, saying he will be there in spirit like a higher power and that it is their destiny to reclaim the NXT tag team titles from Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel). Wes Lee calls out Imperium, then Imperium shows up. Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel speak their native languages at first, then Barthel says MSK can do their thing all they want, as they will never be able to touch them.

Nash Carter says that if Imperium are feeling spicy, they can put the tag team titles on the line right now. Suddenly, Walter shows up on the TitanTron and calls MSK "everything wrong" with wrestling and a disgrace to the mat. He says that Aichner and Barthel treat the tag team titles with dignity and respect and that all they deserve is a beating, but Riddle also appears on the TitanTron and ups the ante by making it a six-man tag team next week.

Trick gets mad at Bivens, then Barrett has to admit he has no idea what anyone is saying. After Barrett reigns things in, Hayes tells Strong that when he shoots and does not miss, it is a lifestyle and not a catchphrase, and warns Strong that he will put him on a T-shirt and that there is no different between Strong and all his other opponents. Hayes then says he will take the Cruiserweight Championship and unify it with the North American Championship by any means necessary because he is the most scintillating champion. Strong admits he is impressed by Hayes' words, but at New Year's Evil, it will be a great day for the both of them, saying he will be a two-time North American Champion while Hayes is carried out and known as "Humbled Hayes." Strong signs the contract, then Hayes does the same. Barrett then gets out of the ring with the contract after thanking both men, then Bivens says Lumis beating Trick's ass was "bout it bout it."

He chews Grimes out for costing him a lot of money, and says he will not lose to someone who looks like a troll living under a bridge.Despite taking offense to the name calling, Grimes says this isn't the first time, because he holds it down whether it is in a wrestling ring, at a poker table or on Wall Street. Grimes admits he likes to play dumb sometimes, but last week, he played him. This starts a "You got played!" chant, and Hudson says nobody outhustles him and that he will not let this go.

Generation NXT 2.0 - NXT 2.0 recap for October 19, 2021

Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams head to the ring to start tonight's show. After having the ring announcer announce Carmelo as the new North American Champion, Trick says there is nothing humble about Carmelo and that they are having a "Melo-bration" tonight. Carmelo says that he stepped on the scene four-and-a-half months ago and brought that same energy, and broke through the ranks to prove he was the final champion, and waited for the opportunity to take what was his and "pull a swerve on Swerve." He says that when he shoots, he does not miss, and that from this point on, he is calling the shots, for he is the captain and leader of the new school. He says that as long as he is North American champ, he is the "A champ." After Carmelo says that he does not care if anyone has a problem and that he said what he said, Johnny Gargano shows up and says the energy in the room has just changed. Gargano formally introduces himself to Carmelo Hayes and says he has had his eye on him, then congratulates him on his championship win before saying he has had some fun with some parties of his own before saying that he has "lost his way." Gargano says that he is trying to find out what is next for him, then says it is right in his face and that what is next for him is going back to doing what he was put on the planet to do - be in front of people in the ring - against someone like Carmelo Hayes. Gargano says there is a first time for anything when it comes to missing shots and tells him to take his shot. Trick tells Gargano to worry about his daughter, since she's been in Carmelo's DMs all week. Gargano jokes around with Trick, then mentions that Dexter Lumis is right behind them. Trick and Carmelo retreat - and leave the NXT North American Championship in the ring - then have second thoughts about getting back in the ring when Lumis goes after them. Lumis and Gargano give each other the thumbs up.

Odyssey Jones beats Andre Chase. Before the next match, Chase dedicates the match to the "Chase U student section" in the top rows near the entrance.

We hear from Malcolm Bivens and Diamond Mine. Malcolm Bivens says he was just minding his own business when he heard from a lot of people regarding a championship opportunity, especially for The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed). He says that from here, instead of asking for opportunities, Diamond Mine will take.

Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel) beats The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) after KUSHIDA and Ikemen Jiro run in and fight Aichner and Julius Creed. After the match, MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) runs into the ring and beats up Imperium.

We see a vignette where Kyle O'Reilly - on his bike - meets with Von Wagner, who shows up in a truck. The two of them go into the woods and weight train with a large branch and with the trees, even using an axe in the process. That night, the two of them share a beer in front of a campfire, and Kyle O'Reilly says that if the two of them can get on the same page, they can do a lot of damage. Von Wagner simply says "Let's kick some ass."

We see a vignette for Cora Jade, who is up next.

We hear from Joe Gacy, who says that last week was a setback and that while NXT is not the safe space he thought it was, violence is not needed to sovle everything and that nobody will be "triggered" by the words of those who do not understand him or any microaggressions thrown his way. Joe Gacy states that he still speaks for the disenfranchised, and he puts his hand on the window and asks someone to follow him, saying they can be stronger as a team than they ever could be as individuals. That someone is the bald-headed man from earlier, who he calls his "little snowflake."

We hear from Legado del Fantasmo (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza, Elektra Lopez). Santos Escobar says that the words "May God bless you with luck" are the first words he heard in the business, and says he has been blessed by those words until last week, when Carmelo Hayes won the NXT North American Championship. He calls out Carmelo Hayes, calling him a "lucky son-of-a-bitch" and says that his luck has just vanished and that when Carmelo finds the NXT North American Championship, he and Lady Luck will eventually find him. He then has Elektra Lopez "set the record straight" for Legado del Fantasma, but before Elektra can say much, Cora Jade shows up for the next match.

Cora Jade beats Elektra Lopez with an inside cradle.

Generation NXT 2.0 - NXT 2.0 recap for September 28, 2021

Hit Row (Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, Top Dolla, B-Fab) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Ashante "Thee" Adonis says tonight is all about the ladies, and says it is a honor and a gift to be in the ladies' presence as he also hypes up the NXT Women's Championship match betweeen Franky Monet and Raquel Gonzalez, saying today is the ladies' day. Top Dolla also mentions the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship match between Toxic Attraction and the team of Zoey Stark and Io Shirai, then Swerve says his title is not on the line because nobody is going after it like Santos Escobar. Top Dolla also mentions the NXT Cruiserweight Championship match between Grayson Waller and Roderick Strong, then B-Fab says the spotlight will be on her when she beats Elektra Lopez like she owes her money. Elektra Lopez then shows up with the rest of Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) as B-Fab says that Elektra is big but not bad, and that she will be "big mad" when she gets in the ring with her.

Elektra Lopez beats B-Fab in a no-disqualification match.

Joe Gacy is in the ring. Gacy says that contrary to popular opinion, the ring is still a safe space. He says that last week, he made a huge impact, and he has not been cancelled. He says he has made a bigger impact than Superstars like Tommaso Ciampa, Roderick Strong and Bron Breakker using only his words. He says he did not have to throw one single punch, as he speaks for a generation that nobody understands except for "the enlightened ones." He says everyone else lives in a "darkened, obsolete world," and when he went back to the locker room, he saw nothing but "triggered" faces, and says that he is nothing but inclusive and that conflicts can be resolved with discussion and not violence. He says that while one person can change the world, he is here to introduce "a new normal," and thanks the crowd for their open minds before Xyon Quinn shows up for the next match.

Xyon Quinn beats Oney Lorcan.

We hear from Grayson Waller, who says that he is a thriller junkie who surfs, snowboards and parachutes. He says he saw his opportunity last week and took it, and now his first singles match is for the Cruiserweight Championship and everyone will know his name.

MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) head to the ring. After the match, Samantha Irving interviews MSK. Nash Carter says they will keep smoking the tag team division and that they are not content, and Wes Lee says they will continue to be the fighting champions they promised they would be. Both of them agree that all the teams can step up and get knocked back, then Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) show up. James Drake questions their claims of being fighting champions and wants to know where their opportunity is. Zack Gibson says that their reign means nothing until they face them, then Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams show up. Carmelo says he might as well be mentioned in the conversation, and he and Trick Williams tease going for the tag team titles. Zack Gibson says the line starts behind him and James Drake, then Nash Carter tells Grizzled Young Veterans to shut up before Wes Lee dares Carmelo Hayes to use his contract and find out quickly what he and Trick are up against. As Wes Lee says he and Carter are the better team and Zack Gibson fails to understand slang, Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs show up only for Trick Williams to mouth off at them. Jensen punches Trick in the mouth, and this starts a brawl between the team of Carmelo and Trick, the team of Jensen and Briggs and the team of Grizzled Young Veterans.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Raquel Gonzalez, who says that while Franky Monet is a good opponent, she is not overlooking her and she will be another name on a list of who she's beaten. As she speaks, Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne) shows up, and Mandy Rose says the women's title looks a lot better on her than on Raquel.

Io Shirai and Zoey Stark retain the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships against Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne).

We see a video package for Bron Breakker. Breakker says that for the last two weeks, he feels like he has been shot out of a cannon, and he is not here to make friends; he is here to become NXT Champion and he is not a patient guy.

Tommaso Ciampa is interviewed virtually via FaceTime. He says that he hears Bron Breakker loud and clear and that it took 908 days to get the title that he never lost back, and that nobody has beaten him for it before and nobody will be doing it now.

O'Reilly says that Cole has picked a fight with him at every turn every since he came back from the hospital, but Cole tells O'Reilly he needs a dose of reality, saying O'Reilly is nothing without him. Cole also says nobody would be talking about O'Reilly without him, especially after their time in The Undisputed Era when Cole was the star of the group, carried him on his back and was responsible for his success. Cole says that he is still the star whether people know it and want to admit it, especially O'Reilly's wife. O'Reilly tells Cole not to mention his wife again, then says he is ashamed that he ever associated himself with Cole and took so long to realize how pathetic Cole is.Cole smacks the microphone out of O'Reilly's hand, and as Samoa Joe stands between them, Cole ducks under Joe to get to get to O'Reilly only to be caught in a heel hook.

All four men sit down, and Ciampa says the difference between them is that he and Thatcher make this look good, then says that the tag champs will be the underdogs, as Thatcher has never held NXT gold and is hungry. Ciampa says that nobody elevates a championship much like he does, and when Thatcher interrupts Carter, telling him to let Ciampa finish, Wes Lee says that they respect the both of them, and Carter tells them to put respect on MSK's name. Wes Lee then says that Ciampa and Thatcher will soon find out why they are the tag team champions, then MSK attack Ciampa and Thatcher only for Wes Lee to be slapped in the face by Thatcher, who is held back by Ciampa. Ciampa tells MSK to bring their pride along with their titles, for he and Thatcher are taking both, because MSK got a free shot tonight and they will not be so lucky next week.
