We get a closer look at "The Real Deal" Zayda Steel, who talks about how she is always ready for the spotlight and how she has become the very first WWE ID prospect after having fought everyone and being prepared for anything.

We get a closer look at Luca Crusifino, consigliere to The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Crusifino, Adrianne Rizzo). He states that Tony D'Angelo has given him his blessing to come to Evolve and push the family's influence on the show. He says he is here to make a statement as well as a name for himself.
Keanu Carver beats Luca Crusifino.
Chantel Monroe beats Masyn Holiday with a schoolkid pin after grabbing the tights. Chuey Martinez interviews Chantel after the match, and Chantel says winning two matches in Evolve is not surprising because she sees a winner when she looks in the mirror and that winners win championships. She says she has been hearing whispers about the Women's Evolve Championship and that she will be the center of the title conversation.
We see a face-off between Kali Armstrong and Dani Palmer. Palmer admits she misfired on the dive that took Armstrong out and that they are clearly not a good team, but they are here to evolve their talents. Armstrong says Palmer has just described a loser's mentality and is trying to convince herself that she does not suck, and tells her to learn from her mistakes when she is not attached to a partner like her who can actually win. Palmer warns Armstrong that she will have a short career and lots of enemies with that mindset, but Armstrong says she is doing absolutely fine and will continue to do so as long as she is not handcuffed to "a poor excuse for a consolation prize" like Palmer. Palmer says Armstrong reeks of insecurity and is trying to push all her buttons to get her to lash out, but it is not going to work and that she is saving it all for the ring because Armstrong is writing checks that her skills cannot cash.
Harlem Lewis beats Joe Coffey after Coffey inadvertently punches the ring post on the outside.
Wendy Choo beats Kylie Rae by submission with the Dirtnap.

Oba Femi heads to the ring. Oba Femi says it was set in stone that he would be omnipotent and the embodiment of a war leader, and that he was tested as a young Nigerian prince and dominated his opposition. He says that in NXT, the goal is still the same, and now he is North American Champion and has divine right to rule over the fans and crush everyone who stands in his way to dust. Dragon Lee suddenly shows up. He says he cannot be mad after last week, for Oba Femi was hungry, and says that nobody has made an impact in NXT much like Oba Femi. He says the North American title represents opportunity and that he hopes that Oba Femi will continue the open challenge and hopes to be Oba Femi's first opponent tonight. Oba Femi refuses, saying the open challenges are now closed, and Dragon Lee demands a rematch at Vengeance Day. Oba Femi says he does not get to decide any more, although he may consider it.

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.

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.

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.
