Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for July 15, 2026

In backstage footage from earlier today, we hear from Daniel Garcia and Will Ospreay. They are training with Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta as Jon Moxley shows up and tells everyone to get ready. Claudio, Garcia and Yuta leave, then Moxley tells Ospreay that most of the work is done and his neck has healed. Moxley says that people make simple things so complicated, and that when the moment comes, they hesitate. He tells Ospreay that he has earned this, and tells him that there will be times where he will have to make some hard decisions. Moxley says this is not a hard decision, and when he has the moment, he will not hesitate; he will pull the trigger.



Adam Copeland and Christian Cage retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia) after Yuta removes a top turn buckle only for Christian to kick Garcia in the groin behind referee Bryce Remsburg's back, which allows Christian to send Yuta upwards into a Spear by Copeland to win and retain. After the match, The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) and Claudio Castagnoli get in the ring and attack Copeland and Christian, then The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) run towards the ring to fight Claudio and The Dogs off. "Switchblade" Jay White shows up late as David Finlay rears back with his shillelagh, taking the shillelagh away from Davis and scaring him out of the ring. Christian confronts Jay White as Switchblade has the shillelagh in his hands, and Jay White hands the shillelagh to Copeland. This leads to a truce between the tag champs and The Bang Bang Gang. Meanwhile, David Finlay demands his shillelagh back as he watches from the crowd.



We hear from Andrade el Idolo as he is on the beach. Andrade says that he is free from his past and ready to become an AEW World Champion.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Andrade el Idolo. Andrade says he will battle every member of The Don Callis Family, and if he has to take all their championships, he will do it, as he will be an AEW World Champion. Andrade then pulls out a red jewelry box with a Dynamite Diamond Ring in it, saying he got it from a good friend. When Renee asks if the good friend is Will Ospreay, Andrade says "How you know?"

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) soon show up and make it known they want the AEW World Trios Championships. As Kyle O'Reilly accepts the challenge, The Conglomeration are attacked from behind by The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson).

Andrade el Idolo beats Jake Doyle to earn a shot at Mark Davis and the AEW National Championship. After the match, Mark Davis shows up and confronts Andrade, but Andrade puts his Dynamite Diamond Ring on. Mark Davis steps back before Andrade can punch him with the ring.



Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega into the ring for a championship celebration. Omega is soon joined by The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and Nick Jackson is carrying something in what looks like a light brown bag. Matt Jackson talks their and Omega's nearly 20-year friendship and how Omega won the big one all by himself and proved that he is still the best professional wrestler on the planet. Matt then admits that MJF's custom Burberry belt peeves him, and Nick pulls the original AEW World Championship with the black leather strap out of the light brown bag to hand to Omega. Omega says it has been over 1100 days since he last held the AEW World Championship, and admits that he was not sure if he would ever hold it again. He says that as much as he made a promise to himself, it took his friends, his family and his fans believing in him to keep him from giving up on himself. Omega says this was not supposed to happen, and yet, here we are with less than 50 days remaining until Wembley Stadium. He says that as much as he would like to say he is ready, there is still work to do. Omega says that the fans will see the best Kenny Omega that has ever been in AEW before Will Ospreay shows up and heads to the ring. Ospreay asks The Young Bucks if he could speak with Omega alone, which The Young Bucks allow before heading to the back. Ospreay says it is good to see Omega as AEW World Champion again. Ospreay admits he thought that Omega gave up on himself and knew that Omega had to believe in himself, and that when he wrestled MJF, he did not give up once. He says that it will heat up on the way to All In, and says that for ten years, Omega has been his hero and he has watched Omega wrestle around the world as Omega inspired him to be one of the best in the world. Ospreay says that when he thinks of AEW, he thinks of Omega, and that he has always wanted to be a fraction of what Omega is. He then says that he is locked in, and that the two of them will keep it going and show everyone why they are in the position they are in. Ospreay says that this is a dream come true of "Goku and Vegeta fighting it out," and at All In, they will show that AEW is where the best wrestle. Suddenly, "The Jet" Kevin Knight arrives as Omega and Ospreay are about to shake hands. Knight says that he and Omega have some talking to do, and tells Ospreay to leave. Ospreay is about to leave when Omega says Ospreay can stay, and Knight congratulates Omega on becoming AEW World Championship before stating he is still owed a World title shot. He says that "Maxwell Jacob Fraudman" is not here to give him that shot, but Omega is here and he is here to collect. Knight then asks what a god is to a non-believer, as he is ready to become a double champion, and challenges Omega for the AEW World Championship at Redemption. Omega notes that Knight is trying to hold him to a promise MJF made to him, and says that while he is not going to do that, he will give Knight a shot at the title anyway due to the potential that he saw in him. Omega says that he had "it" and had the undeniable factor" and "looked the part," and while Knight was hungry, that was where it ended, as Knight had to align himself with Don Callis. He says he would be a hypocrite if he told everyone here tonight that he did not believe in Callis' siren song and that Callis would lead him to the promised land, as he held the AEW World Championship because of him. He says that nobody believed in that version of him, and that his self-worth fell right down the toilet with Callis. Omega tells Knight he does not need Callis, and that when he believes in Knight, he says the same words that others have said about Knight. He tells Knight that he could have it all on his own with Callis, and while Knight can say what he will about MJF, MJF was not a fraud, as he still defended the title every week and was a man of his word. Omega then says the only fraud he sees is Knight. He says that Knight is not being himself, and that what he is saying is not coming from his heart, which he still believes has some good in it. Omega then says he wants "The Jet," not "Don Callis' lap dop," and he wants Knight to do it on his own. This leads to a "lap dog" chant, and Knight says that while Omega makes a good claim, there is no goodness - only greatness - left in his heart before he hits Omega with the microphone and deftly avoids a Hidden Blade from Ospreay only to get jumped by Darby Allin. "The Machine" Brian Cage shows up and attacks Darby before calling out the rest of The Don Callis Family. Ospreay and Omega are soon joined by Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, and The Don Callis Family backs off.





Backstage, we hear from "Jungle" Jack Perry, who says that he is starting his second chapter in AEW. He says that he was on the verge of breaking through to the next level in his first chapter, and on Collision, he wants a match with someone else who wants to break through like he does and show what the future of professional wrestling is all about.

Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) beat Aaron Solo and Nick Comoroto.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher. As Fletcher says he is ready to put Komander away tonight, Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) shows up and hands both Renee a Fletcher a wanted poster of Bandido, much to Fletcher and Callis' annoyance.

Don Callis guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher retains the AEW International Championship against Komander. After the match, Fletcher tears at Komander's mask, then "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita runs in and brawls with Fletcher. Takeshita then picks up the AEW International Championship and declares that it is his before "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada suddenly shows up and hits Takeshita with the Rainmaker. Fletcher and Okada are about to fight over the International Championship before Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) shows up and takes them both out.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Kenny Omega. Omega says there is no shortage of credible challengers and that he still has hope for "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Darby Allin shows up and tells Omega that Kevin Knight will not change overnight and that he must be physically humbled, and that he will take the TNT Championship from Knight and humble him. He tells Omega that he can either waste his time or he can beat it out of him, and Omega tells Darby he will leave it to him. Darby leaves, then Jon Moxley shows up and says that Darby is right and that some people are what they are and cannot pretend to be anything else even if they try.

Renee Paquette interviews The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) on the stage. Alex Windsor says that if there is anybody who knows anything about drinking and fighting, it is the people of Boston, Massachusetts. Jamie Hayter says they had a pretty good time, even though England let them down in the World Cup. Hayter tells the fans that The Brawling Birds will not let them down, and Windsor says they will beat anyone to prove they are the best women's tag team in AEW. Hayter then tells the fans "let's get pissed," and says the first round is on them as they leave with Renee.

Backstage, we hear from Chris Jericho, who says that Tommaso Ciampa left his beaten and battered at Beach Break, then says that they can go again at Redemption. He tells Ciampa to bring pain and that he will bring "The Painmaker." We then hear from Ciampa, who says that he is better than Jericho, and at Redemption, everyone will find out if The Painmaker is better than him. Ciampa accepts the challenge, but says he has one more night in his hometown, and on Collision, he wants Jericho to be watching as he makes an example of someone.

Darby Allin beats "The Machine" Brian Cage after tripping Cage on the ring steps for a Coffin Drop before hitting Cage with two more Coffin Drops back in the ring.



Backstage, we hear from "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada. Fletcher says that if Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) want to stick their noses in family business and take his title, he has no problem with that. Fletcher says he will be the greatest International Champion of all time, and if Bandido wants him, he wants Bandido at Redemption.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Don Callis and "The Jet" Kevin Knight. Callis says that Knight can handle whatever is on his plate, then says that Knight is too smart for Kenny Omega's mind games. He says that everything that Omega has gotten in life is because of him, and tells Knight to take care of Omega. Callis leaves, then "Speedball" Mike Bailey shows up and says that Knight's facade is not working, and tells him to take Omega's advice and know that everyone loves him enough that when he is ready to go back to who he really is, he is forgiven. Knight tells Speedball to let him be.

Mercedes Moné and The Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) beat Willow Nightingale, Maya World and Hyan in a trios match.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for July 15, 2025

Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Jacy Jayne admits that Jordynne Grace attacked her throat and damaged her vocal cords. She accuses Jazmyn Nyx of dropping the ball, then says Jazmyn and Fallon made up for it for making sure she shocked everyone. Fallon states that Jacy will continue to be champion for a long time, and Jacy states that at Slammiversary, she will face Masha Slamovich, and while Masha is great, she will be walking out with both women's titles. Masha Slamovich shows up and says Jacy Jayne is champion is only champion because Blake Monroe smashes Jordynne Grace in the back with the NXT Women's title, and says that it took four people for Jacy to win. Masha says she will shock the world and walk out with both titles, but Jacy says that Masha will never touch her title. Suddenly, Sol Ruca and Zaria show up, and Sol Ruca says she is not only double champion and she has her money on Masha.

Robert Stone and Stevie Turner show up and tell Jordynne that Blake is not here, but then a video shows up where it is revealed that Blake Monroe does not consider Jordynne worthy of anything.

Josh Briggs is in the ring. He says that he did everything he could to make sure Yoshiki Inamura became champoin, and says that he is mad not because Inamura did not want to win as much as he wanted him to, but because he has been here for four years yet has never had a title shot. He says Inamura is "too nice" in a cutthroat business and that one must take the shot by any means necessary.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 15, 2024

Rhea Ripley heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Rhea says it has been three months since she has been in the ring, and it is due to Liv Morgan. She says that Liv has been running around with something that is hers - not "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, who she will deal with later - but the Women's World Championship. Rhea says Liv pissed her off when she thought that she took her out, then calls her out so she can rip her apart. Instead of Liv, she gets Dominik Mysterio. Rhea turns her back on Dominik as Dominik tries to speak to her, then Liv Morgan appears on the TitanTron and apologizes for her voice, as she has been in Mexico and she is quite the screamer. Liv tells Rhea that she meant it when she said she would take everything from her, including Dominik, and while she did not see what Rhea saw in Dominik at first, but then she had a real relationship with him and had Dominik all to herself. She then says that while Rhea Ripley is back, she is the one on top. Dominik says it is not what it looks like, but Rhea is focused more on Liv, saying she knew Liv was too scared to get in the ring with her because she would end her revenge tour. Rhea then says that she has waited three months and can wait a little while longer, and challenges Liv for the Women's World Championship at SummerSlam. Liv says that she will not run, then warns Rhea that she is not the same person she faced before, and says that she will beat her just like she helped Dominik beat Rey Mysterio as she accepts Rhea's challenge. She then hopes Dominik will be there, then vanishes. Rhea tells Liv that at SummerSlam, she will not only end her revenge tour and her title reign, she will end her career.



Backstage, Rhea Ripley is not taking anything from "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. She suddenly finds a vase of black roses in her dressing rooms, and when Dominik says she is trying to make it up to her, Rhea slams the door in his face. Dominik turns around and sees Damian Priest, then Rhea Ripley opens the door and throws the vase of roses at Dominik.

Sheamus beats "Big" Bronson Reed. After the match, Bronson Reed tries to attack Sheamus, but he is suddenly stopped by Pete Dunne, who then walks away, much to Sheamus' confusion. When Sheamus turns around, Pete Dunne gets back in the ring and attacks him. Bronson Reed then gets back in the ring and hits Sheamus with the Tsunami.



Backstage, Damian Priest welcomes Rhea Ripley back. Rhea asks Damian if he needs help with Braun Strowman, but Priest says he is all right. As Rhea asks about Carlito, Dominik shows up, and it becomes known that Dominik barely contacted Rhea Ripley at all.

Backstage, Sami Zayn is met by Ilja Dragunov. He says that he appreciates the championship opportunity, but Sami says he is getting the match because he asked for the match and that he has been watching him for a while, and says that Dragunov is "better than good." Sami says that Dragunov fights like his life depends on it and that he is the kind of person he wants to defend the Intercontinental Championship against, then warns him to bring his absolute best. Dragunov tells Sami to do the same.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Jackie Redmond interviews Zelina Vega. Zelina says she has no love for Liv Morgan or Rhea Ripley, and that when they are done, she will be at the front of the line, saying she would be champion if it were not for "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. Sonya Deville, "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark show up, saying the line goes through them, but Zelina says nothing is standing in the way of her and the Women's World Champion, and if Sonya wants a match, they can go at it tonight.

Sonya Deville quickly beats Zelina Vega after "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler attacks Zelina's arm behind the referee's back. After the match, Sonya, Shayna and Zoey Stark attack Zelina, but leave when Lyra Valkyria, Kayden Carter and Katana Chance run to the ring.



Backstage, Damian Priest is met by "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. Suddenly, "Main Event" Jey Uso wants to know if Rhea Ripley is single, which irritates Dominik. Damian tells Dominik that he beat prison, and that he should show Jey Uso who Rhea really belongs to.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is meeting with some referees when Chad Gable shows up and says Uncle Howdy is none other than Bo Dallas, and wants to know why he is here and what Pearce is doing about him. Pearce says Bo Dallas is here tonight, and Gable says that he is going to call Bo Dallas out tonight.

Damian Priest heads to the ring. Priest says that despite having a match with Braun Strowman next, he wants his face-to-face meeting right now and calls out Gunther. Gunther heads to the ring. After mentioning that Priest is still showing confidence and living his childhood dream of being World Heavyweight Champion, he tells Priest that he has paid close attention to him and that he is not living up to that dream. Gunther says Priest's reign has no prestige or contributions, but that is okay, as they are both not cut from the same cloth. He then says he is here in good spirits and wants to lift the weight off Priest's shoulders, and asks Priest to hand him the title. Priest says he wishes it was SummerSlam right now so he could knock the smirk off his face, then says that he fought for his life on the street for 20 years to get to WWE while Gunther has handed everything in Europe. He then says that if Gunther is only here for a paycheck, then he is not needed here, as he himself has earned the World Heavyweight Championship. He also says Gunther will be the last person to take the title from him. Gunther says being on the streets is a choice and blames Priest's parents for not giving him everything, while his own parents gave him everything and WWE was calling him. He also says that people like him keep people like Priest from becoming champion. Gunther says it will also be his responsibility to restore the honor and prestige of professional wrestling as well as the World Heavyweight Championship, then says the fans are just like Priest, as they will always be "street trash." Priest says that for someone with clarity, Gunther cannot see why what is coming at him or why he lost the Intercontinental Championship, and that Gunther has no heart or the knowledge of what it is like to fight for everything. He then says that he will stay champion while Gunther will have to fight from the bottom, as he will have nothing, and that they will see if Gunther is more than a "boring, conceited, privileged scumbag." Things are about to get physical between Priest and Gunther when Braun Strowman shows up for the next match.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce gives "Main Event" Jey Uso his match with Dominik Mysterio, then Bron Breakker shows up irritated that Ilja Dragunov has a shot at the Intercontinental Championship. Breakker says he does not care about respect and that he will destroy both Dragunov and Sami Zayn. Pearce calls for security, but Bron Breakker says he knows the way out. Pearce tells security to make sure Breakker leaves the building.

Damian Priest beats Braun Strowman after Strowman hurts his left knee during the match. After the match, Gunther shows up and chops Priest. That leads to a brawl, and Gunther soon retreats when Priest gets the upper hand.



Backstage, Maxxine Dupri tells Akira Tozawa and Otis that they should help someone out. Gable shows up and tells them that he will call out Bo Dallas, but Maxxine Dupri says they were talking about Xavier Woods, who they are helping against The Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Akam, Rezar). Gable takes offense to this, even as Otis says they are serious about this.



"The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark beat Katana Chance and Kayden Carter even after Lyra Valkyria knocks Sonya Deville off the ring apron.



We see footage of The Miz at the American Century Championship from the past weekend.

Backstage, when Finn Balor mentions the World Tag Team Championships, Rhea Ripley says Liv Morgan played her games, but they did not work. "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up and mentions his match with Jey Uso, saying that he is going to prove that Rhea belongs to him. Rhea walks away.



General Manager Adam Pearce introduces Drew McIntyre to the ring. Pearce says that Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk can be special and that everyone, including himself and CM Punk, wants the match, then wants to know how much McIntyre wants it. McIntyre says he wants it more than anything in the world, then Pearce says that that a lot of negativity needs to be left behind and that if McIntyre can do that, he is ready to business. McIntyre takes responsibility for his actions and that the only opinion that matters is that of the fans, then asks the fans if they want the match, to which they agree. McIntyre tells Pearce to make it official, but Pearce wants McIntyre to do something for him: apologize to the referees that he roughed up at the Money In The Bank post-show. McIntyre is hesitant, but Pearce wants McIntyre to own his actions, especially when the two referees got hurt, and that this is all he is asking McIntyre to do. The crowd chants "Say you're sorry!" before McIntyre says "No." McIntyre says the referees have done nothing but screw him and that it has all happened under Pearce's watch, and that Pearce deserved that elbow and should be apologizing to him. He also makes it clear that he wants CM Punk's head on a pike. Pearce responds by maintaining McIntyre's suspension, and McIntyre responds by shoving both referees and confronting Pearce. Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring and fights McIntyre, and McIntyre flees as Rollins goes for The Stomp. Security shows up to escort McIntyre from the arena, and McIntyre walks away.



We see footage from earlier today on The Pat McAfee Show where Pat McAfee gets another package, which contains another VHS cassette. We then see the contents of that cassette. In it, we see Erick Rowan, who admits that the last few years have been very hard. He says he used to have a family and that they were unstoppable and inseparable, but one day, the whole world changed. Erick says that he lost a brother who believed in him more than anyone else, and in those situations, one gets up, wipes the dust off and keeps moving. He then says that just when he had everything going, another brother was gone, and he no longer had a family. He says he fell down a well and did not even want to get out, as he was numb to the world and nobody would miss him. He is handed a white sheep mask as he is asked how it makes him feel, and that the mask gives him hope, for when he was at his lowest, Bray Wyatt pulled him out and he accepted, as he knew he needed help. He says that he had a purpose in life to help those like himself and that the white sheep mask reminds him of that beacon of hope, and that he will "take those broken hearts and make a beautiful world."



"Main Event" Jey Uso beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. During the match, Liv Morgan pulls Dominik out of the way of an Uso Splash, and when Jey baseball slide kicks Dominik in the back of the head, Dom falls on top of Liv. Liv takes advantage of the situation before Rhea Ripley runs out and chases Liv into the crowd. When Dominik apologizes to Rhea, Rhea tells Dominik to get back into the rng and finish the match. Dominik is soon hit with a Spear by Jey Uso followed by an Uso Splash.



We see a video package for Ilja Dragunov.

Backstage, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio is met by Damian Priest, who mentions Dominik's rough loss before seeing Rhea Ripley and leaving. Rhea says she does not belong to anyone and that she is not his; instead, Dominik is hers. She then hands Dominik a black rose.



Chad Gable heads to the ring to call out Bo Dallas. After the commercial break, Chad Gable announces that Uncle Howdy is none other than Bo Dallas, then calls Bo out so they can "solve their little problem." Bo Dallas then heads to the ring, but he is attacked from behind by The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed). Gable then raises The Creed Brothers' hands, and Bo Dallas is laughing as he lays in the ring just like when he was being attacked. Gable and The Creeds gang up on Bo Dallas again, and Bo Dallas is still laughing. Bo Dallas still laughs as he laughs in the corner and says "Yeah, yeah, yeah," and Gable wants to know what he is laughing about. Bo says "There you are," then the lights go out in the usual Bray Wyatt fashion. The crowd chants "You fucked up!" before fog floods the ring, then The Wyatt Sicks shows up. "Abbie" raises the lantern as they approach the ring, and Gable leaves the ring, leaving The Creeds alone until they too leave. Bo Dallas gets back up and gets on his knees in the middle of the ring, and The Wyatt Sicks surround him before Bo laughs and outstretches his arms.



Ilja Dragunov vs. Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Championship ends with Bron Breakker suddenly showing up and hitting Dragunov with a Spear on the outside after Sami dodges.

Generation NXT UK - NXT UK recap for July 15, 2021

In memory of "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, 1949 - 2021.

We hear from Triple H. He announces that on October 29, 2020, NXT UK brought a match that is so intense that defined a brand and re-defined brutality that people still talk about it. That match is Ilja Dragunov vs. Walter for the NXT UK Championship, and next week, the long-awaited rematch takes place. Triple H says that Walter has dominated the brand for over 800 days while defending the title both in the US and the UK, and that Dragunov is an enigma and one of the most dedicated and intense invidiuals to ever enter the squared circle, and that next week, the world will be watching.

Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala moderates a press conference between Walter and Ilja Dragunov, and demands there be no physicality tonight. Alex McCarthy from talkSport asks Walter if he believes his championship reign is under threat, to which Walter replies no, as the difference between him and Dragunov is that he is here for the greater good as well as the tradition and history of professional wrestling, and says that while Ilja is a great athlete, he does not have the mental ability to step up to his level and that he will have to prove this when he wrestles him again. Ace from BBC 1Xtra asks Dragunov what he has learned from last year's defeat, and Dragunov admits it has been a dark time since then, and that failures like this last in one's mind and that he had lost control since then, but he has since found himself again and he had to learn to compete at a top level again. Alistair McGeorge from Metro.co.uk asks Walter Dragunov what to expect from next week's rematch, and Dragunov says to expect brutality and that people will forget what the world "violence" means, and that the outcome will be difference. As Dragunov says that Walter is arrogant and has a god complex, Walter interrupts him and says he redefines the sport when he wrestles, and that Dragunov was happy enough to be a part of that. He then says he is tired of seeing Dragunov being sad about himself and says that he is a fraud and "all show," as Dragunov realized that while he is fantastic, he is not man enough and on his level, and that all his displays of intensity and motivation are there to get attention. Walter then demands a saddened Dragunov look at him as he speaks in German. Dragunov says he thought it was enough to be champion last time, and while he has respect for Walter because Walter makes him a better wrestler when he steps in the ring with him, the respect is now gone for what Walter did to him afterwards and all that is left is hate for the person that he nearly made him into when he broke him, saying it was not necessary. He says that next week, he will break Walter in the ring and either walk out NXT UK Champion or not walk out at all. Sid Scala steps away as both men have an intense staredown.

We hear from Subculture ("Flash" Morgan Webster, Mark Andrews, Dani Luna). Andrews says he is having deja vu, and Webster says that it is because two years ago, they won the NXT UK Tag Team Championships. Dani Luna says that next week, history will repeat itself against Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley), and Dani Luna says Andrews and Webster will be two-time NXT UK Tag Team Champions.

Teoman and Rohan Raja beat Ashton Smith and Oliver Carter with a crosfface from Teoman to Carter.

In footage from earlier this week, Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala is being interviewed when A-Kid walks out of the trainer's room with a walker and a leg cast. He says that he is sick and tired of Jordan Devlin, and that he needs a rematch with Devlin in a 30-minute Iron Man Match as soon as he is medically cleared. Scala says he will get right on it.

We hear from Aoife Valkyrie, who says she has watched and learned everything she could about Jinny, and says that Jinny will never understand that the best have short memories when it comes to failure and that she is here to be the best. She says she is here to climb while Jinny is not prepared to take off her high heels, as she only picks a fight if she knows the odds are in your favor. She then says that Jinny has declared war on the wrong person.



We hear from Pretty Deadly (Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley). Sam Stoker says that Subculture ("Flash" Morgan Webster, Mark Andrews, Dani Luna) are social outcasts and weirdos that cost them a match last week. Howley says it was his mistake taking Andrews lightly, and says that Andrews made a mistake getting his friends involved. He says that Pretty Deadly run the tag team division, while Stoker says that Subculter are tag team champions of the past.

Meiko Satomura retains the NXT UK Women's Championship against Amale.

It is announced that there was an altercation between Walter and Ilja Dragunov backstage following their press conference, and that Walter has suffered a severe injury in his left hand. WWE has declared Walter medically unfit for competition, and due to these circumstances, Ilja Dragunov vs. Walter for the NXT UK Championship will not take place next week as scheduled. There will be more information available next week.

Next week: Jinny and Joseph Conners on SPRNVA Sessions!

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."

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.

He says that while the overall demographic is important, he says that the 18-34 demographic is what matters, and he has never been beaten in that demographics. Jericho claims to be the king of the ratings and "the demo god," then goes back to talking about how great his match with Orange Cassidy was and how people saw something in Orange Cassidy they had not seen before. Jericho then says that Orange Cassidy, the network, the advertisers, the important demographic and the fans want a rematch, then asks the fans if they want a rematch before telling them they are not getting one because Orange Cassidy had his chance and was not good enough. When the fans chant "You scared," Jericho says he is never scared, and says there will never be a rematch between himself and Orange Cassidy before telling Orange Cassidy to enjoy being in the ring with him before going back to his friends and remember what it was like to be a main eventer. After an orange juice toast to Orange Cassidy, they pour some juice on the mat of the ring to toast Orange Cassidy's "dead career." Orange Cassidy shows up in an empty part of the stands, and Jericho says that while Cassidy could really go, he does not what have what it takes to be in the ring with him and tells him there will never be a rematch.

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up to start tonight's show.

He announces that there will be a cross-brand, top-10 all-star battle royal tonight, and that the winner will be the next to be victimized by Brock Lesnar. The competitors announced for this match are Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Big E, Cesaro, Braun Strowman, Rey Mysterio, Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns. Heyman then states that Rollins strolled in last night like "Becky Lynch's stud" and came out a gelding, and says that whoever gets in the ring with Brock Lesnar will risk their health, welfare, career and manhood, as all ten potential opponents are all "Brock's bitches." As Heyman and Lesnar leave, Ricochet shows up for his match.

Dawkins pulls for Big E, while Ford predicts Seth Rollins will win it.



Backstage, Mike Kanellis is met by Maria Kanellis, who says she is taking this match despite being pregnant, as Mike is a loser and that she is more capable of defending the honor of their unborn child. When Maria makes her way to the ring, Mike shows up and tells Maria he has got this. Zack Ryder wins with a Ruff Ryder in mere seconds. After the match, Maria tells Mike he should have let her wrestle, as their unborn child has a better chance in the ring tonight than him.

He also states that Baron Corbin found out what happens when he is pushed too far, as he will fight anybody to take the Universal Title back.

Becky takes a microphone and tells Natalya that she is always here to fight as nothing makes her happier.

After telling Natalya that she needs something in her career and that she is it, Becky says she does much better in war than in love. Natalya says "You must not be a very good lover, bitch," then says she will rip her hair off her head, pull the horseshoe out of her ass and kick the living hell out of her.



We hear from Randy Orton, who says that after he wins tonight's battle royal, he has some unfinished business with Brock Lesnar to attend to and enough venom to strike with the RKO.

It's time for Miz TV. Tonight's guest is Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler shows up, saying he wanted to be on the show tonight to see if The Miz is a company yes man who reads off a teleprompter and is just happy to be here. After asking if it was worth kissing all that ass only to not be on the pay-per-view, Miz says he's rather not be on the pay-per-view than lose to Kevin Owens in seventeen seconds. Ziggler continues to accuse The Miz of being a walking gimmick rather than trying to be the best, and says that Miz has become everything he has always hated and wrong with the business, because all he cares about is fortune and fame like his wife Maryse. Miz immediately beats up Ziggler and sends him rolling out of the ring.



At the hotel room, Drake Maverick is wearing nothing but his underwear and the WWE 24/7 Championship as he waits for his wife Renee on the bed.
