Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne) head to the ring. Mandy says that this Saturday at Stand & Deliver, she was supposed to face Cora Jade one-on-one, but Kay Lee Ray and Io Shirai took what she said out of context when she said she would fight any woman. She says that she is never scared, as she is "the baddest bitch in the game" with "the greatest back-up this company has ever seen" and they have been dominating for the last six months and will continue to do so. Mandy says she will humiliate Cora Jade, get rid of Io Shirai once and for all and send Kay Lee Ray back under the bridge where she came from before cementing her legacy as the greatest NXT Women's Champion of all time. She then mentions some business they have tonight, and says they did Dakota Kai and Wendy Choo a favor when they got rid of Raquel Gonzalez and practically handed them the tournament only for them to fail Toxic Attraction.Gigi and Dolin then produce some of Wendy Choo's personal belongings when she says that Wendy "apologized for not getting the job done," then Gigi says they have defeated everyone and practically run the women's division. Jacy Jayne says there is nobody left to challenge at this point and that they have beaten and embarrassed everyone put in front of them, and at Stand & Deliver, she and Gigi will watch Mandy beat "three other bimbos" at the same time.

He also proposes they flip the table and start fighting like with all contract signings, but Escobar says he would not expect a different answer from someone so new, so young and so naive, for he is pulling all the strings. Escobar says that he also plans to end Breakker's career and future before they even start, then Dolph Ziggler suddenly shows up. Ziggler sits down at the table and says he is a big fan of Breakker before saying he works Tuesdays and asking Breakker who he is. Breakker says he is the reason Ziggler is here and that he will take care of him after Escobar. Ziggler says Breakker is making a big mistake looking past Escobar to him before mentioning his accolades and stating that the NXT Championship is not among them. He says that he does not have to be better or stronger than Breakker - which he is - and that all he has to do is be in Breakker's head when Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Ciampa says Ziggler as NXT Champion is a hard pass for him and tells Ziggler that while he loves his spirit, then Escobar wants to know what is going on before calling Breakker and Ciampa "frenemies" and saying Ziggler is only here over a mean tweet. Escobar threatens to deal with both Breakker and Ciampa, but Ciampa threatens to beat him up if he interrupts him again and get next in line for the NXT Championship unless Ziggler has a problem with it.

Samantha Irvin then interviews Raquel, who says that while Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Jacy Jayne, Gigi Dolin) is making headlines, Mandy Rose has no idea who he jumped on and that the NXT Women's Championship is proof of being the best, not a fashion accessory. She then says that if Mandy thought Sarray busted her face up, she will have Mandy posing for a body cast instead of Instagram. Suddenly, Toxic Attraction show up. Mandy says she used to admire and respect Raquel, but says Raquel is now desperate because she knows her title reign is coming to an end and that her idle threats fall at their feet. Mandy says they are taking over and that nothing can stop them. Gigi Dolin says she and Jacy Jayne are also championship material and that Raquel can't help but look in awe, but Raquel says she is looking at the stitches she put in Dolin's head. Jacy says jealously can be added to that desperation, then says Raquel has been living under rock and that Toxic Attraction is the face of NXT and will soon be holding all of the women's division gold, for they are "the attraction." Toxic Attraction then surround the ring, but Zoey Stark and Io Shirai stop them from getting into the ring to fight Raquel. Toxic Attraction retreats.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for August 17, 2021

Malcolm Bivens and Diamond Mine (Roderick Strong and ???) are in the ring. Bivens says KUSHIDA is a coward and a liar who does not want to defend his Cruiserweight Championship against Roderick Strong, who wants a match while he wants his payday. (Earlier in the day, it had been reported that KUSHIDA is not medically cleared and therefore will not be able to compete tonight.) Bivens says that whatever Roderick Strong wants, Roderick Strong gets, and issues an open challenge that is answered by Ilja Dragunov.

We see a Prime Target video package for Adam Cole vs. Kyle O'Reilly at NXT TakeOver 36.

Hit Row (Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, Top Dolla, B-Fab) head to the ring.

Escobar shows up on the TitanTron and says that he got the message that he disrespected Hit Row's culture after Hit Row burned a luchador message, and while he wants to return Swerve's grill, he does not trust the rest of Hit Row. After Escobar says that he is alone in the parking lot and willing to give the grill back, Swerve takes him up on his offer, but sees Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza coming and turns around to fight them only to be ganged up on. The rest of Hit Row show up and even the odds, and B-Fab has to use a metal pipe as an equalizer to help Hit Row come out on top in the brawl and help Swerve get his grill back from Escobar, who gets slammed repeatedly into a steel door.

Malcolm Bivens says that Ilja Dragunov is a heavyweight and that tonight's match never happened, and that Roderick Strong is still in line for the Cruiserweight title before telling McKenzie that she talks to him next time, not Roderick Strong.

Beth Phoenix interviews both Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai. Raquel says that when she first showed up, she knew what she was walking into and knew it was only a matter of time before Dakota Kai would betray her. After Dakota tells Raquel that her crystal ball will not help her against her, and Raquel says that while Dakota is the last one left, she will not take the NXT Women's title off of her. Dakota says Raquel is more delusional than she thought, saying that she kicked her in the face before she got her hands up and that she didn't teach her everything she knows, then says she made her and that she can break her and take the Women's title from her. Raquel says that Dakota Kai is one of the best, but she has no bones in her body and gets jealous when someone is a bigger star than her. She says she solved so many of her problems, but she is on her own for this one. Dakota tells Raquel that she can call her whatever she wants, but in five days, she will call her "NXT Women's Champion." Raquel simply tells Dakota "Good luck...psychic."

As Imperium is about to celebrate, Walter puts Dragunov in a sleeper hold.

We hear from Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland. Dunne says that what happened to Ilja Dragunov last week are why people should not stand up to them, and Ridge Holland says that he does not care about Tommaso Ciampa or Timothy Thatcher, but he respects being challenged by them.

Ridge Holland then says that next week, he will be seeing Ciampa and Thatcher.

Samoa Joe heads to the ring. Joe says that venom seeps through his lips when he talks about Karrion Kross, and says that he has been expecting one more face-to-face meeting in which to verbally eviscerate him, then says it is pointless as he is a man who is here to hurt him. He tells Kross to tuck his clock in his back pocket and get in the ring, and Karrion Kross shows up and says it is not about either of them, but about the future of NXT, and that Joe will not become a champion after more than a year off. He then summons security over to the ring and calls it protection for Samoa Joe, then says that Joe doesn't have a chance and that he will drop him quickly. Joe quickly punches Karrion Kross and levels all of the security guards before beating Karrion Kross around the ring. Referees and more security arrive as Kross rams Joe into the ring steps. Kross tries to put Joe through the announce table, but Joe fights back and puts Kross through some fencing on the barricade, and at this point, even members of the locker room have to help separate both men as they break through the barricade back to ringside.

He says it was no mistake that he held the title for 483 days, then Karrion Kross and Scarlett show up. Kross tells Adam Cole his motives are understandable, and that whatever he does will not change the grand scheme of things, for when he showed up, Adam Cole was no longer special. Cole tells Kross he will never be him, and while NXT has done everything in their power to make Kross feel special, all NXT has to do make him special is ring the bell, for Kross could not lace his boots even on his best day and everyone knows that. He says that he is special, not Kross, and that Kross is just the guy who has his property. General Manager William Regal shows up and says he knows what Adam Cole is trying to do, but Kross tells him to shut up and says he wants Kyle O'Reilly, Johnny Gargano, Pete Dunne and Adam Cole.

He then says that time has allowed the course to correct itself, and that he is in control of NXT until he says so. He then says the saying that there is no other way to go but down is a complete lie, as nobody is going to beat him even as NXT has the hungriest competitors on the planet, because he is starving and insatiable.

Dakota says that for fourteen months, they dominated the best women's division in the world, and Raquel gives respect to Io Shirai for being a great champion before stating that her own era has begun.
