Generation NXT - NXT recap for June 30, 2026

Backstage, Wren Sinclair tells Kendal Grey that this is her moment before Kendal heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Kendal admits she is more nervous talking in the ring right now than she was in the main event on Sunday, as talking was never her strong suit, then says that when John Cena picked her for the Iron Survivor Challenge, she was in matches she was not prepared for. She says that nobody puts pressure on her like her and that she is not used to losing, and while she ran through Evolve's women's division, she dropped the ball when she came to NXT. Kendal then says that when she won the NXT Women's Championship, she proved she could run with the women's division in NXT, and says that unlike Lola Vice in her designer dresses, she does not look like a champion. Kendal says she will never be comfortable looking like a Barbie doll or comfortable talking in front of people, but when the bell rings, she will wrestle like a champion and take the women's division to a level no one has seen before. She then says that if her championship puts a target on her back, then she welcomes that target, as the match will go at her pace and nobody will be able to keep up with her. Wren Sinclair then shows up with a small celebratory cake and says that she let Kendal have her moment, then says that Kendal had a vision of the both of them leaving The Great American Bash as champions, and it came true. As Kendal and Sinclair are about to celebrate with a small two-layer cake, Kelani Jordan shows up wanting a match for the NXT Women's Championship after not getting a match at The Great American Bash. As Kendal says that she was attacked by "a lunatic" for speaking her truth, Tatum Paxley comes out of the crowd and attacks Kendal, chasing her to the back while Kendal and Sinclair gorge on the two-layer cake.



It is revealed that Keanu Carver has attacked El Hijo del Vikingo with a metal pipe before Vikingo's match with EK Prosper tonight. (Before tonight's show, it is announced that Vikingo got injured while going over the match with EK Prosper, and that it is not known how severe the injury is.)

Romeo Moreno and Noam Dar also show up wanting a title shot. Robert Stone puts Birthright, OTM, DarkState (Cutler James and Osiris Griffin) and the team of Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux in a #1 contenders' Fatal 4-Way match. Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno miss the boat on the opportunity, but Noam tells Moreno that this is why one does not rush in and that they need to build their resumé up. Romeo believes he and Noam just need one win.

Jackson Drake beats Mason Rook after "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes distracts Rook so that Drake can hit the Backstabber and Myka Lockwood can hold Rook's foot down to secure the win.

Nattie gets a title match with Kendal Grey next week.

Tony D'Angelo heads to the ring. D'Angelo says that when you use something everyday, you take it for granted and you never think about it. He then talks about being in an ambulance with a burned right eye and how he had to sign a bunch of waivers to defend against Naraku. He admits that he paused and asked if he was willing to risk his own health to defend the NXT Championship on the last form he signed, then he decided he was and he beat Naraku. D'Angelo then says his eye will recover, then tells his next challenger - whoever it may be - that he is the master of his fate and the captain of his soul, and asks what his next challenger is willing to do to take the NXT Championship from him. As Kendal Grey heads to the ring for the next match, D'Angelo heads to the back only to be attacked with a metal folding chair by Naraku before officials arrive. After the commercial break, we find out that Naraku spit red mist into Tony D'Angelo's face before attacking him.

Rhea accepts Iyo Sky's challenge.

He says that Goldberg is not capable of beating him and that he could beat Goldberg in three minutes, but he will take his time and embarrass Goldberg in front of everyone near and dear to him. He says that for someone who does not like bullies, Goldberg bumped into the biggest bully in WWE and that he will bully him around and treat him like a piece of crap and that there is nothing Goldberg can do about it. Gunther says that on the subject of whether or not Goldberg has still got it, he will exposed Goldberg for never having it, then asks what will be next for him after Goldberg.

Rollins says they are here to congratulate Gunther on becoming World Heavyweight Champion again. Rollins says they did not show up at Night of Champions to cash in on him, and says that at long as he still breathes, CM Punk will not be world champion, and that he and Rollins will "stand on that business." He states that he told the world that it would be an all-out assault on both world titles when he won the Money in the Bank contract, then congratulates Gunther again before CM Punk shows up. Punk runs to the ring and brawls with Rollins, and Rollins retreats through the crowd as Punk calls him a coward. When Punk turns around, Gunther gets in his way, and Punk shoves him to the mat. All of a sudden, as Rollins laughs at Rollins, LA Knight sneaks up on Rollins and beats him up at and around the concourse. Rollins is able to retreat.

He says he is the best, the greatest of all time, the head of the table and the Tribal Chief. He says he is the only one who cares about and loves The Usos, gave them opportunity and opportunity and allowed them into the promised land, and he is the only one in the family who wants to give them a second chance. He demands that The Usos come to the ring, bow down, acknowledge him, apologize and move on. The Usos show up, and Jimmy says they are past the apology stages and are now focused on consequences, such as what would happen if Roman Reigns lost on Saturday. Jey says that tomorrow night, they will go to war, and when Roman loses, Roman will be the only one out and he will not be Tribal Chief anymore, as he and Jimmy have no interest in being Tribal Chief. They then say they have the right person for the job, and even though "he is trippin'," they have his vote. Roman laughs before looking at Solo, who looks back. Roman tells The Usos to shut up and that this is not a game. Jey confronts Roman on the apron, and Roman tells Jey that he is nothing without him. He says that nobody cares about Jey and that he made all of this, then Jey piefaces Roman before Jimmy superkicks Roman.

Ethan Page says what he has been doing is not enough, and that his goal is not to beat Darby Allin, but to exterminate him, and that nobody has tried to cripple Darby more than he has. He says that Darby Allin has kept coming back after everything he has done to them throughout their careers, and says that the Coffin Match will cripple Darby mentally. Ethan Page says he will beat Darby Allin in this Coffin Match, and when he does, Darby will think of him every time he even so much as thinks of doing a Coffin Drop, he will think of him laying him in a coffin and closing it shut on his confidence forever.

Tony Schiavone interviews Kenny Omega in the ring. Omega says he is reminded of a conversation from earlier today where Schiavone asked him how he stayed motivated and hunted for that next goal - which Schiavone denies happened - and says he woke up like a king. He says he defeated the most promising up-and-coming AEW star and the best wrestler not named Kenny Omega in Jungle Boy next week, and that is pains him to say that there is nobody left and that he will have to take time off. Omega says he still has other championships to defend elsewhere and that his work is far from over, then The Dark Order shows up. Evil Uno tells Omega that he feels differently about him not having any challengers, but Omega says that Alan "5" Angels could not last two minutes against him and that The Dark Order is not even closed to being ranked to face him.

Cutler tells them that they have done that before, having known them for a long time. The Young Bucks leave after saying that happened "a generation ago," then Avalon says it was true because he read their new book Young Bucks: Killing The Business - From Backyards to the Big Leagues, even though the book does not come out until November.

Swinger says Rosemary is into her, but Bravo tells him that Rosemary is not interested in him, and this starts an argument. As Madison asks John E. Bravo if he is in love with Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie shows up and asks Rosemary to be her tag team partner. Rosemary accepts, then she and Taya leave.

The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) show up. Josh Alexander says that all good things to an end when it comes to fights one does not back down from, as Ken Shamrock was attacked before he made it to the ring last week. Ethan Page says Shamrock will never have a friend or tag team partner because he is crazy and has rage issues, and that nobody will deal with them because of them. He says having a friend makes someone dangerous. Suddenly, Shamrock shows up. Before Shamrock gets in the ring, Sami Callihan shows up on the video screen and asks "Who needs friends when you've got an enemy?" The arena goes dark, and when the lights come back on, Sami is in the ring. Callihan and Shamrock easily overpower The North, then Callihan and Shamrock have a staredown before Callihan makes the arena dark and disappears before the lights come back on.



Backstage, The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) meets with Scott D'Amore regarding being attacked by Ken Shamrock and Sami Callihan.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the Week is Eric Young vs. Magnus for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from April 10, 2014.

Backstage, Jimmy Jacobs interviews Trey Miguel, who says he does not care if he has to break Ace Austin first, because he will break his foot off in Madman Fulton's ass for "leaving change on the table," as he can make a dollar out of 15 cents.

Moose retains the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Crazzy Steve. After the match, Moose continues to attack Crazzy Steve, and referees have to show up. Tommy Dreamer also shows up and confronts Moose, who pretends to walk away only to attack Dreamer.



After the commercial break, Tommy Dreamer says he has been in the business for years and that he can count the amount of wrestlers he has seen with the same amount of talent and ability as Moose with one hand. He says that Moose played football because his friends wanted him to and that he became a wrestler to get another paycheck, but his talent and ability got him far in both sports. He also says that Moose didn't listen to other people in the business and began making the same mistakes he made, and as a result, he has never been a champion and had to create a championship for himself. Dreamer says he has been beaten by better, and while the world is going through hard times, wrestling has not stopped, and while Impact Wrestling did everything they could to keep everyone happy and secure while everything else was going on, Moose continued to be ungrateful. Dreamer says that while his belly and his hiney might be a little bit big like Dusty Rhodes', he is a bad, violent man, and Moose will be a footnote in football and wrestling because he is a waste of talent.

Taylor then approaches the ring, then says he does not fight for free and says that the New York City fans treat superstars like trash just like they did to Carmelo Anthony.

It's time for Miz TV with The Miz and Maryse, which could either be the last on SmackDown or the signature of SmackDown Live, according to The Miz. Tonight's guest is Dean Ambrose, who makes an early entrance, and eats a sandwich, much to Miz's annoyance, due to the fact that Dean has been making a lot of personal appearances. As Ambrose compliments Miz on the set decoration of Miz TV, Miz disrespects the memory of Mitch the potted plant, and gets angry with Dean for saying The Ambrose Asylum is better than Miz TV. Ambrose asks the fans which show they'd like to see, and it becomes clear they'd rather see The Ambrose Asylum.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 30, 2014

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon start off the show. After celebrating Seth Rollins' victory, they introduce John Cena, the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, who shows up. Stephanie announces that John Cena will be on the front cover of WWE 2K15. Cena isn't impressed, and is instead very suspicious of Triple H and Stephanie's behavior, as he knows they're being too nice and that, according to Cena, Randy Orton and Seth Rollins "are in their back pocket." It soon becomes apparent that they have a problem with him, and Triple H forces Cena to defend his newly-earned championship in a Fatal Four-Way Match against Randy Orton, Roman Reigns and Kane. Cena also will be facing Randy Orton and Kane tonight, with Roman Reigns as his tag team partner. As Cena leaves, Triple H reminds him that "there's always a Plan B." Seth Rollins shows up and stands next to John Cena with the Money In The Bank briefcase before heading to the ring and celebrating his win with Triple H and Stephanie before his match.

Seth Rollins beats Rob Van Dam. After the match, Renee Young interviews Rollins, who then proceeds to belittle the WWE Universe before Dean Ambrose appears on the TitanTron. He tells Rollins it's not over between them, and tells him he's going to keep him from cashing in the Money In The Briefcase against all odds.



As Rusev and Lana continue to trash talk the USA, they ask who is next to take on Rusev. That would be Jack Swagger, who arrives along with Zeb Colter. The latter voices his displeasure of their voicing their opinion of America, and says that a Real American can stop Rusev's reign of terror. Lana holds Rusev back as the WWE Universe cheers for Swagger, and as Lana and Rusev quietly leave, Rusev goes after Swagger only to quickly fall victim to a hip toss. Rusev has to be held back by Lana once again, and he is forced to retreat.



The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan) beat The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and Sheamus.



Tom Phillips interviews Nikki Bella. Stephanie McMahon shows up and puts Nikki in a handicap match against The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi).

A limo arrives carrying a successful cross-brand WWE superstar and former WWE champion...but who is it?

The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi) easily beat Nikki Bella in a handicap match, but Cameron gets mad at Naomi for tagging herself and getting the pin. Cameron then walks out on Naomi.



Bad News Barrett has suffered a shoulder injury on the SmackDown before Money In The Bank. Sadly, there is no timetable as to when he will be able to return. As a result, Bad News Barrett is hereby stripped of the WWE Intercontinental Championship. The new IC champ will be decided in a battle royal for the vacant title at Battleground. Paul Heyman shows up and praises this news, and promises that Cesaro will pick up the pieces and take the title at the battle royal.

Kofi Kingston beats Cesaro on the WWE App. After the match, Cesaro attacks Kofi, and even tosses him to the back of the front row in an impressive showing of strength before officials have to break it up.



Santino Marella talks to his Cobra, disappointed that nobody came to his party...not even Emma! But Adam Rose comes to the rescue with the Exotic Express in what is a blatant advertisement for Twisted Ice Tea. (Yes. Adam Rose sells an adult beverage on a PG show. What.)



Vince McMahon shows up...or so we think. It's Damien Sandow dressed like Vince. After a decent Vince McMahon impression as "Vincent Kennedy McMahondow," he says he's entering the Intercontinental Championship battle royal at Battleground. Stephanie McMahon appears on the TitanTron and is incensed he would impersonate her dad, and puts him in a match against another entrant in the battle royal: The Great Khali, who fells "McMahondow" in one swift chop. The Great Khali beats Damien Sandow.



We finally find out who the returning former WWE champ and cross-platform success of a Superstar is...The Miz. He says he was tempted to stay in Hollywood and shoot more films, but he came back for the fans as they don't appreciate him like Hollywood does. As he continues talking, another superstar of the former WWE champ and cross-media platform success story varieties shows up...Chris Jericho. Miz runs his mouth only to eat a Codebreaker. When Jericho speaks, however, he is surrounded by The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan), who instantly overpower him.



Dolph Ziggler takes on Cesaro tomorrow night on Main Event on the WWE Network.

During Fandango vs. Dolph Ziggler, Summer Rae shows up and kisses Ziggler. Ziggler kisses her back. Fandango is distracted and distraught by this, and this allows Ziggler to hit the Zig Zag. Dolph Ziggler beats Fandango.



Goldust and Stardust beat Rybaxel (Curtis Axel and Ryback).

Paige shows up. She says she's here to stay...until the former WWE Divas Champion, AJ Lee, makes her return! AJ tells Paige that she's right, and that she's proved her and everyone wrong. She also has a change of heart, saying that Paige slapped her back into reality after months of being really cocky, and thanks her. Paige thinks she's pulling the same trick she did to win the Divas title, and says she doesn't want to put her title on the line. AJ asks the WWE Universe if they want a championship rematch right now, and the Universe heartily agrees. Paige agrees to a title defense.

AJ Lee beats Paige to win the WWE Divas Championship!
