Cameron Grimes heads to the ring, and he shows up with shorter hair and a more serious mood. Grimes says he grew up in a very small town in North Carolina, and every day, people would push him down and tell him he was not good enough. He showed them he was good enough and that if he scratched and clawed, he could hold it down. He says that he made it in the industry and even struck it rich, but through all that, he kept his head and beard to remind himself of his beginnings and his struggles.

Samoa Joe heads to the ring. Joe talks about how he stood across the ring from the most dominant champion in NXT history and beat him to become the first-ever three-time NXTHe says that being a three-time champion should be cause for celebration, but experience tells him that to be champion, one must be king in the land of savages, where there is no time to celebrate. Joe says he has noticed that the air is more palpable, the handshakes colder and the stares bolder, then asks who in the locker room is waiting to step up. His challenge is answered by Pete Dunne. Champion. Dunne heads to the ring in street clothes and says Joe has faced him enough times to know the truth, and says that he is the baddest around here, not Joe. Dunne tells Joe to head to the back and tell General Manager William Regal to make the match. Dunne then says "Don't make me provoke," then LA Knight shows up, says Joe is afraid of him and says he would have beaten Karrion Kross in 43.5 seconds before challenging him for the NXT Championship, saying he will be Joe's first and last challenger. Dunne threatens to break Knight's fingers if he gets in the ring, but Knight says he is just here to chat. Suddenly, Kyle O'Reilly shows up and says the only thing Knight has a chance of winning is a "Stone Cold" Steve Austin knock-off vest competition. He then says he respects Joe, then says he has earned a title match and does not have to talk his way into one when he is suddenly attacked by Ridge Holland.

She says that the NXT women's division is the greatest because of one woman, and says that with NXT TakeOver 36 being four weeks away, she wants to know who wants to face Raquel.

Bivens says he is the best, and that he is the one to bring Roderick back to NXT.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for June 15, 2021

General Manager William Regal heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Regal says he has been with NXT since the very beginning in some forms, and has sat at the announce table for the first few years and watched NXT become what it is, the competitors that came through and the tours around the world that it had. With tears in his eyes and with great sadness, he talks about how his family even saw the show with him and how any time not spent with his family was spent helping to make NXT what it became, and thanks the fans for their support through the years. He then says that with the chaos from Sunday, he has given all that he can give to the fans and feels he cannot give the fans what they deserve anymore. Before Regal can make his big announcement, Karrion Kross and Scarlett show up. Kross says he and Scarlett knew this day would come and that they did not know when, and that they had to see and feel this for himself. He then calls Regal "completely pathetic" for crying and told him that he knew he was losing control of the NXT roster. He then says that when he retained the NXT Championship on Sunday, Regal knew he could control the place through chaos and violence. Kross then tells Regal to tell the people that he is leaving and then turn around and leave and never come back. Kross also demands Regal say that he was right and that he conquers all, then all of a sudden, two months after his WWE release, Samoa Joe appears and gets in the ring. Samoa Joe says that Regal wanted to speak with him, and Regal says that because of his love for NXT, NXT deserves a General Manager who can hold the position with the integrity it deserves, and asks Joe to be the new General Manager of NXT. Samoa Joe declines, then explains that in the seven years Regal has been on NXT, he has scoured the planet and brought in the best talent, including himself, and plucked NXT from obscurity and made it an international phenomenon. Joe says that Regal has cast a large shadow and has big shoes to fill, then says he cannot accept. He then admits that while he made Regal's life hell while he was in NXT, he always afforded him respect and wants to ensure respect is afforded to Regal from everybody. Regal considers this an interesting idea, but mentions that Samoa Joe cannot be a competitor and cannot lay a hand on anyone unless provoked. Joe accepts Regal's offer, then asks Kross what he is doing in the ring. Joe then says "Tick tock, young champion," and Kross and Scarlett leave the ring. Regal and Joe then shake hands.

We hear from Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake). Zack Gibson says they heard what Timothy Thatcher had to say and that he and James Drake are used to being looked down upon, and Drake says there will be no excuses tonight in their Tornado Rules tag team match. Gibson says that he and Drake cannot wait to kick their heads in.

Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) beat Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel). After the match, Imperium attack Breezango and hit Breeze with the European Bomb. They then drape an Imperium banner over a laid-out Breeze. After the match, Imperium attack Breezango and hit Breeze with the European Bomb.

Backstage, General Manager William Regal and security hold Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly apart. Regal puts them in a match at NXT Great American Bash in three weeks as well as in individual matches next week where they get to pick their opponents. As Cole says he should be fighting O'Reilly, O'Reilly punches Cole, and Samoa Joe soon steps in. After Joe keeps O'Reilly away from Cole, Cole shoves Joe, and this leads Joe into putting Cole in the Coaquina Clutch. He then says tells security to tell Cole that Regal wants his decision when he wakes up. (The security guards in this segment are all played by future NXT Superstars: Bron Breakker, Julius Creed, Brutus Creed, Trick Williams, Tony D'Angelo and Von Wagner.)

We see a screen with a battery indicator charging and starting at 1%.

We hear from Santos Escobar, who says that he had the North American Championship in his hands, but Bronson Reed had to put him through a wall. He says that this was the only thing that Reed could have put him down with, and he will face him one-on-one and become the next North American Champion.

We get our first look at Trey Baxter (formerly known as Blake Christian), who makes his NXT debut tonight.

KUSHIDA retains the NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Trey Baxter with the Hoverboard Luck. During the match, Kyle O'Reilly watches from the stage.

We hear from Mercedes Martinez, who admits that while she felt the wrath of Tian Sha on Sunday, then says she is the wrong person to mess with. She says that Boa will feel the steel again if he messes with her, and says she and Xia Li are 1-1 and she is ready to go again. She also says that Mei Ying won't have time to get out of her chair, for she will knock her right out of it.

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase heads to the ring. DiBiase says he has finally found somebody most worthy of continuing his legacy. We then a video package of LA Knight, who won the Million Dollar Championship Ladder Match on Sunday. LA Knight pulls up at the arena in a white Corvette convertible and heads to the ring. LA Knight says it is not often that one gets to meet their heroes, and even rarer to share the ring with them. He then says that he does not know how to describe how he feels about continuing DiBiase's legacy, saying he took the idea very seriously. He then says that despite being banged up, living up to that legacy and winning the Million Dollar Championship was "100% worth it." He talks about growing up watching DiBiase and becoming a big fan of him. LA Knight says he wanted DiBiase in the ring to express his gratitude and appreciation, and thanks him. He says this is the greatest moment in his wrestling career, and says it would be the honor of his life to crown him Million Dollar Champion. DiBiase places the Million Dollar Championship on LA Knight's shoulder, then shakes his hand before he and LA Knight laugh. LA Knight says that he now has everything he wants and that it is time to drop everything he does not need. He then punches out DiBiase and beats up DiBiase's security before declaring himself the true Million Dollar Champion. Eli Drake continues to stomp on DiBiase until Cameron Grimes runs in and knocks Eli Drake out of the ring. Grimes then checks on DiBiase.

The battery indicator is now at 21%.

Adam Cole vs. Kyle O'Reilly at NXT The Great American Bash in three weeks is now official.

Io Shirai heads to the ring. Io says that she is back and that she feels good, but when she announces her next target, Candice LeRae shows up. Candice says things have change since she has been gone, and that she is no longer an uncrowned champion while Io Shirai is back to the bottom after no longer being an unbeaten champion, saying she will have to earn her opportunities. Candice says that Io Shirai picked the wrong time to screw with her, then Io is attacked from behind by Indi Hartwell. Io overpowers them both and hits Indi with the Tiger Feint Kick, but the numbers game eventually takes over. Indi Hartwell goes for a top rope elbow drop onto the announce table, but she is stopped by Zoey Stark, who fights off Candice and Indi.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for March 31, 2021

Before the next match, Cameron Grimes shows up with a bunch of documents. He says there is a lot of money being left with the intellectual property of The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong), and without his efforts, it could be done for. Grimes shows off a new "Grimes The System" shirt and a "Grimes The System" theme song, but Roderick beats him up and throws him into the ring for the match.

Cameron Grimes beats Roderick Strong after pulling an Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) armband out of his trunks. When Strong looks at it, he is distracted, and this allows Grimes to hit the Cave-In for the win.

We hear from Walter, who says that Tommaso Ciampa was focused on wrestling and was a dominant champion, then says Ciampa is now focused on other things and he is a shell of his former self. Walter then says that he is NXT's most dominant champion and that he has put more focus on wrestling than anyone else, and at Stand And Deliver, he will prove that the mat is sacred.

It is announced that NXT will move to Tuesdays on April 13th.

Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) is in the ring. Santos Escobar says that tonight, he wants to issue an open challenge because he runs things around here and wants to show Jordan Devlin what he is in for. He says that he was born a champion, unlike Devlin, and says he is "the emperor of Lucha Libre" who represents over 100 years of tradition, and says the Cruiserweight division will belong to him as long as he wants it to because it is in his blood. Santos says blood and tradition state that he is the best cruiserweight in the history of NXT, then Tyler Breeze shows up. Breeze says the difference between him and Santos is that Santos is entitled while he had to work to get here, then accepts Santos' challenge.

Santos Escobar beats Tyler Breeze. After the match, Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza hold Breeze down, but MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) show up and rush the ring, causing Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza)to retreat. Grizzled Young Veterans then show up on the video screen. Zack Gibson says that Legado del Fantasma and MSK are both distracted, while he and James Drake are soon to become NXT Tag Team Champions.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews The Way (Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, Austin Theory, Indi Hartwell). Johnny Gargano says that he has no way to prepare for TakeOver and that William Regal is unfit to run NXT. He also questions why Austin Theory is in the Battle Royal Eliminator. After Austin Theory asks Gargano if he has ever heard of the Finger Poke of Doom, Candice LeRae says that she and Indi Hartwell will show the women's division how it is done tonight.

In backstage footage from last week, Io Shirai says that she challenged Raquel Gonzalez because she is a challenge.

We see a video clip of a Pomeranian approaching the WWE Performance Center.

The Way (Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell) beat Gigi Dolin and Zeta Moran. After the match, Candice says there is no woman in the back who deserves to be more than champion more than her, and that she and Indi deserve to be tag team champions. She tells Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon that she is coming for what is hers on her time, her stage and her way at Stand and Deliver. Suddenly, Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart show up. Ember Moon tells Candice and Shotzi they have lost their minds, and that they expected this. Shotzi says that they will take care of business, and accept their challenge. They then fire a foam missile out of their tank at Candice and Indi.

Io Shirai approaches Raquel Gonzales and says "You cannot kill me!" before hitting her. This starts a brawl that ends with Raquel getting the upper hand.

We hear from Tommaso Ciampa, who talks about how his wife and daughter gave him his necklace before he had surgery, and says that sometimes in life, we need to be reminded of who we are. He says that he has heard what Walter has had to say, and now he sits here and wonder if he has changed. He says he has changed in some ways, but then he shifts his mindset and thinks of those who still believe, and says he hears his supporters. He says that at Stand and Deliver, he will climb up to the top of Walter's mountain, look him in the eye and chop his head off, as he has been at the top and knows what it is like to fall to the bottom and make the climb again. He says he has changed, but he has learned that he would rather fight for something than fight six nights a week and twice on Sunday, and tells Walter it will be a long, long fall from the top of the mountain.

Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell vs. Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon for the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships is official for NXT TakeOver: Stand and Deliver.

We hear from Finn Balor, who says that he expected Karrion Kross for a long time, and when the pressure is on at TakeOver, it is hard to breathe and your body becomes heavy. He says that the rules do not apply to him and that his stamina is his strength. He says that Karrion Kross may dictate the match, but the longer it goes, the more that Kross will drown in the deep water, and at TakeOver, Kross will choke.

Cameron Grimes, Bronson Reed, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Leon Ruff, LA Knight and Dexter Lumis are the final six people in the Gauntlet Match Eliminator. They are eliminated in this order, which dictates which order the NXT Superstars in the Gauntlet Match enter: Leon Ruff, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Bronson Reed, Cameron Grimes, Dexter Lumis and LA Knight. Before the match begins, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott is attacked from out of nowhere by Leon Ruff, who brawl before the first commercial break.

Gibson says that the better team lost in the men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, and that they are the tag team destined for championship greatness, not MSK or "Shrek and Donkey" (referring to Killian Dain and Drake Maverick).

Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) beat Drake Maverick and Killian Dain. During the match, it is announced courtesy of Burger King that Toni Storm will face Io Shirai for the NXT Women's Championship in two weeks.

Backstage, Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) finally arrive.

In footage from earlier today, LA Knight says NXT is his game, and when he debuts, it will be on his time, his terms and his way.

Adam Cole heads to the ring. Cole says he had every intention of explaining why he did what he did to Kyle O'Reilly, then says he feels sick to his stomach after seeing the footage of his attack on O'Reilly. He says the NXT Championship has always been important, but he does not like who he has become. He says that he has been pissed off at O'Reilly getting opportunity after opportunity only to fail, then says it did not warrant those actions. He wishes that he could speak to O'Reilly face-to-face, but he cannot. Cole tells O'Reilly that he hates admitting he was wrong, and says he was dead wrong and that O'Reilly is not in the ring because he made a stupid mistake and he hates himself for it. Cole apologizes and says he will do everything in his power to fix it, but if he cannot, he will try. Suddenly, Roderick Strong shows up and says everything has changed, as The Undisputed Era was a brotherhood built on trust and had each other's back no matter what. He tells Cole that he shattered that trust, then says that while Kyle O'Reilly will heal, he may not be able to save Cole from what O'Reilly will do to him. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up, shoves Strong and attacks Cole. Strong goes after Balor but gets beaten up for it, and Cole lays Baylor out with a superkick. When Cole gets in the ring and apologizes to Strong, Storng clotheslines him. Cole keeps apologizing and saying this is his fault, then Cole and Strong make up before Cole hits Strong with a low blow and tells him he is stupid. He then calls him dead weight and rips his dog tags off before superkicking him.
