Generation NXT - NXT recap for November 4, 2025

Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Lainey Reid) beat The Culling (Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley) and Lola Vice in a six-woman tag match.



We see Los Grandes Amerianos (El Grande Americano, Rayo, Bravo) in the NXT locker room. El Grande Americano is disappointed at the look of the locker room, and Josh Briggs gets angry El Grande Americano grabs his bag. Briggs then challenges El Grande Americano to a match.

We see a video from Lei Ying Lee, who says that Kelani Jordan cheated in her match with Jordynne Grace and should be ashamed of herself. She says she will not let Kelani shame the Total Nonstop Action Knockouts title or division, and says she will be the one to take the title from her.

Backstage, Wren Sinclair tells Kendal Grey that she is an official member of No Quarter Catch Crew, then says she is the women's Speed Championship Tournament. Kelani Jordan shows up and tells Kendal she will learn what she learned with her first championship, then tells her to listen to what she is about to say before heading to the ring. Kelani says she did everything she could to keep the Total Nonstop Action Knockouts World Championship by any means necessary, then asks why Dominik or Cody Rhodes are cheered for using their titles as weapons while everyone has a problem with her. Kelani says an opportunity came when Ash by Elegance vacated the TNA Knockouts Championship and she took it, yet when she tries to hold the championship with honor, she gets booed and treated by friends as a traitor for being a fighting champion. She states that she has been kicked out of the locker room by women who have not even accomplished half of what she did and says that she is a standout, and says there is no one in the locker room who can keep up with her. Kelani then says nobody cares and that everyone changes their mind every single day, then says that she is an elite and calls the fans "followers" for suddenly deciding she is public enemy number one. She also says she is staying at home for Gold Rush, because there is nobody who has earned a shot at her championship, then dares everyone to call her a traitor or disloyalty, because they will eventually call her champion.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price). Lucien Price says they only care about championships, and Bronco Nima says that they are coming out differently and taking down everyone, who he says do not have what they have. Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors show up and confront OTM, then Andre Chase shows up before OTM leaves. Andre tells Dixon and Connors that pissing OTM off is not a good idea.

El Grande Americano beats Josh Briggs by submission after Tavion Heights show up and distracts the referee, allowing Rayo and Bravo to attack Briggs from behind with a double Backstabber. Jasper Troy shows up to watch the match from the crowd during the match.



Backstage, Wren Sinclair and Kendal Grey are met by Kelani Jordan. Kendal and Wren leave, then General Manager Ava says that Kelani does not call the shots around here. Kelani tells Ava that she cannot book matches regarding the Total Nonstop Action Knockouts title. Tyra Mae Steele shows up and says she looked up to her and is disappointed with her. Kelani says she can still look up to her, but to get used to second place. Ava says that NXT is still her show, and puts her in a match with Tyra Mae.

Ricky Saints is met by Myles Borne backstage. Myles asks Saints to save him a piece of Trick Williams for next week.

It is announced that Chelsea Green and "All Ego" Ethan Page are the new AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions, having beaten La Hiedra and Mr. Iguana on Sunday in Mexico to win the titles.

Vic Joseph interviews Trick Williams and Ricky Saints. Trick Williams says Ricky Saints is still banged up and that the NXT Championship is too big for him, but Ricky Saints says Trick Williams threw a fit because he beat him clean for the title, then took the show hostage because he cannot handle being second best. Trick says he is second to none and that only he knows how to carry NXT, but Saints says Trick has had one foot in and one foot out since he got here. Saints says he has the potential to take NXT to new heights, and that Trick took everything for granted. Trick says the championship does not belong to someone who looks like a fan like Saints and that it belongs to a star like him, then says that he will be the last man standing. Saints says Trick wears delusion like it is designer clothing, then both men get up to find each other for a brawl. They soon find each other, and security has to get between them as Trick hits Saints with a pipe and tells him he will get his championship back.



Zaria beats Wren Sinclair to advance in the WWE Women's Speed Championship Tournament.

Kelani Jordan beats Tyra Mae Steele. After the match, Total Nonstop Action Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up on the TitanTron and announces that Kelani Jordan will defend the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Lei Ying Lee and Jordynne Grace in a Triple Threat Match at Gold Rush.

Sol Ruca keeps General Manager Ava informed on her recovery and wants a Women's North American Championship rematch against Blake Monroe. Ava says she can only sign off on it if Sol Ruca, who has a month left on her recovery, is medically cleared. Sol Ruca says she is getting ready for the match in advance. Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Lainey Reid) shows up, and Jacy Jayne wants an NXT Women's Championship rematch. Fallon Henley says she will become Women's Speed Champion, which almost starts something between Fallon and Zaria. Ava, seeing the arguing coming, tells both parties to see themselves out.

Je'Von Evans beats Saquon Shugars after fending off the rest of DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Osiris Griffin) after Osiris Griffin pulls Je'Von out of the ring following two cutters.

Backstage, Blake Monroe meets with General Manager Ava, wanting her first title defense to be glamorous. Ava reminds her that Sol Ruca will be her opponent if she is cleared in time for Gold Rush.

Backstage, The Culling meet, and Izzi Dame tells Tatum Paxley that she cannot make irrational decisions based on her emotions. She tells her that she risks losing the NXT Women's Championship if she does not think before she acts. Tatum thanks Izzi for being a great friend and thanks The Culling for taking her in, then says she will be more selective with who she defends her title against. Tatum then says she has one more thing to do next week to be satisfied, then leaves.

"All Ego" Ethan Page, Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre are in the ring for a championship celebration for winning the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships. Ethan says they did what they said they would set out to do, and they are now champions. Ethan Page then reminds everyone he is still NXT North American Champion and the greatest North American to lace up a pair of boots in a WWE ring. Chelsea Green says jealousy is a disease and the locker room is full of it. She says that there is no other pair who will take wrestling like storm, then Ethan says they will defend the AAA Mixed Tag titles against anybody and everybody. Chelsea says she has everything for the party, then wishes Joe was here. She says that there is no other pair who will take wrestling like storm, then Ethan says they will defend the AAA Mixed Tag titles against anybody and everybody. Chelsea says she has everything for the party, then wishes Joe was here. Hendry says the straightforward option is sometimes the best, but Chelsea and Ethan have forgotten what talent looks like. Ethan tells Hendry to say what he wants, and Hendry says he wants a shot at the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championships. Chelsea tells Hendry he needs a partner, and Hendry says that Ethan and Chelsea have to say her name. Thea Hail pops out of the cake and hits Chelsea and Alba with pies, then Hendry beats up Ethan before hitting him with a pie.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 4, 2024

Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio head to the ring to start tonight's show, which takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the first time in history. Liv says her revenge tour is officially over and that she is moving on to her world tour, as just this week, she defeated Tiffany Stratton and took out Rhea Ripley for the third time. She also has ensured that Rhea stays gone for a long time before beating Nia Jax to become the Women's Crown Jewel Champion, then proclaims she has done all she said she would do and has become the best Women's World Champion of all time. Dominik cannot get a word in due to the booing of the crowd and the entrance of Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. Bianca says Liv Morgan is not the only one to walk out with championship gold last night, then addresses their confrontation last week before Jade gives Liv and Raquel a shot at their titles. Liv says Bianca and Jade are here angry because Bianca thinks she is the best when it is really her, and tries to drive a wedge between them by saying Jade thinks the same of herself and that the women's tag titles are the only thing keeping them together. Bianca says Liv's mind games will not work and that Liv is more than happy to test her theory. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up to stop a potential confrontation, then Liv tells Bianca to watch out for the knife that Jade will stab her in the back with only to get slapped by Bianca. Pearce tells Liv she will defend her title against whoever wins a women's battle royal tonight, and that not only are Bianca and Jade are in the match, but the battle royal starts right now.





Iyo Sky last eliminates Lyra Valkyria to win a women's battle royal to become the #1 contender for the Women's World Championship. During the match, Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill are eliminated by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, who are watching at ringside and are not part of the match, after Raquel grabs Bianca by the hair and Liv Morgan gets involved. Bianca and Jade chase Liv and Raquel through the crowd after their elimination.



Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods). Woods says that they should be #1 contenders and fighting for tag team gold, but Chad Gable got involved and The War Raiders won. He also accuses Kofi of dropping the ball before Wyatt Sicks (Bo Dallas, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, Nikki Cross) footage show up, with Miz unconscious in a black Uncle Howdy mask. The mask is taken off and the tape on The Miz's mouth is removed by Bo Dallas, who says he has nothing to do with this before Bo Dallas says they wanted him, not Final Testament, and to make him suffer. Miz is then attacked from behind by a masked Dexter Lumis before the screen turns blue again.



It is announced that Goldberg's retirement match will take place sometime in 2025.

The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) after Woods tags himself in, ruining any momentum that Kofi had in the match.



It is announced that WWE will hold a "Road To WrestleMania Europe 2025" Tour this spring, with some of the dates being episodes of Raw and SmackDown.

Sami Zayn heads to the ring. Sami addresses the crowd in Arabic briefly, then says he is here to address what happened at Crown Jewel before "Main Event" Jey Uso shows up. Jey thanks Sami for having his back at Crown Jewel, but wants to know if the kick to Roman Reigns' face was an accident. Suddenly, Jimmy Uso shows up. Jimmy says Jey saw what he and the rest of the world saw, thinking that Sami did it on purpose and that he and Roman are pissed, that Jey should be pissed, and that Sami is not to be trusted. Sami reminds Jimmy that he was the first to bring him in the family and that his trustworthiness has been doubtful in the past, but Jimmy says he is not the bad guy here before the crowd chants "Sami Uso." Sami says he does not hate Jimmy and never have, and that while Jimmy is not the bad guy, he makes bad decision. He says he came out for Jey to make sure that he was okay. However, when it was the four of them in the ring, for a minute, it felt like old times, but it fell apart just like it already did and he will not do this again and have his loyalty put on trial again. He says he loves Jey, but he cannot do this again, and he is out. Sami then leaves the ring, but Jey asks Sami to come to SmackDown so they can talk things out like family. Jimmy says Sami is not family, but Jey says he was wrong, as Sami is still family even though he is not blood-related, and he sees "Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Sami Uso." Jey hopes that he sees Sami on SmackDown.





Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, who says that while he performed admirably at Crown Jewel, his resumé got him in tonight's Fatal 4-Way Match. He says "Big" Bronson Reed took everything he had and kept fighting, and that in the future, they will face off again, but for now, he has gold on his mind, and tonight, three of the best in the world and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio will wrestle for a shot at Gunther.

Dragon Lee beats Chad Gable. During the match, Gable puts his feet on the ropes for leverage after hitting a Cliffhanger DDT, but he is stopped by Zelina Vega. Ivy Nile puts Zelina in the modified Dragon Sleeper, then Rey Mysterio shows up to check on Zelina. Gable grabs Rey as Ivy Nile distracts the referee only for Rey to attack him, and Dragon Lee hits Operation Dragon for the win.



Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Imperium (Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser). Kaiser interrupts and says "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes got lucky, but Gunther stops him, saying that while he and Cody disagree on things, Cody was the better man. He says that three capable competitors - and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio - are gunning for his title, and it is his responsibility to do better, as both he and Kaiser need to do better.

Damian Priest beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and Sheamus in a Fatal 4-Way to become #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Champion after "Big" Bronson Reed shows up and attacks everyone except for Dominik, who nearly wins from all the carnage only for Damian Priest to save the match and hit Dominik with South of Heaven to win. After the match, Priest and Gunther have a staredown in the middle of the ring to end the show.

In backstage footage from last week, MJF sarcastically Jay White on how he beat him, saying he has been in the business twice as long as he is and twice as stupid. MJF says he is the star compared to Jay White and that he will prove he is better than him at Full Gear. We hear from Bullet Club Gold ("Switchblade" Jay White, "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn), who sing about Jay White pinning MJF, then Jay White says they told MJF that they told him so and are living up to the world "elite," and that they will be back on Dynamite with another World Title Eliminator match because he leads by example.

As he praises Komander, Penta el Zero Miedo and El Hijo del Vikingo's match last night, Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana brag about what they have done tonight.

Swerve accepts the challenge, hoping to see what is beneath Penta's mask, and Abrahantes tells Swerve that he has nothing to fear but Penta himself.

The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Bill Gunn) head to the ring, and on the way there, "Platinum" Max Caster raps about The Acclaimed being AEW World Trios Champions for 69 days. "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn compliments everyone on their Acclaimed signs, then streamers shoot out into the ring after Billy Gunn declares The Acclaimed have been champions for 69 days. Anthony Bowens says today is a very special day due to being champions for being 69 days, then introduces a surprise for Max Caster in honor of "National 69 Days:" a congratulatory message from MJF. MJF reluctantly states that Max Caster has earned his respect after taking a bullet for him last week and admits that Max Caster is growing on him "like a fungus," then says he is starting to "like the Acclaimed." Max Caster says that this means so much to him, as it is a culmination of all their hard work at the top of the trios division, which is symbolized by the nearby trophy with the number "69" on it, which he says belongs to the fans as much as it belongs to them. Max Caster says that if it were not for the fans, they would not have made it to 69, and thanks to them, they will hit 69 again and again. As Anthony Bowens thanks the fans for showing why everyone loves The Acclaimed, Dalton Castle and The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) show up. All of a sudden, The Boys hand the trophy to Dalton Castle, who then lifts it up and throws it down on the ground, breaking it.

Joe says they can remedy that situation next week, to which Keith Lee says "Count me in."

La Faccion Ingobernable (Rush and "La Perro Peligroso" Preston Vance) and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Big Bill and Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) in an eight-man tag match.

As The Miz asks about the movie, in which Ibrahim's character aims to become a freestyle wrestler, Grayson Waller shows up and hijacks the show, effectively turning it into The Grayson Waller Effect. The Miz says he has been here for twenty years while Waller has been around for twenty minutes, but Waller says it is not 2005 anymore. The Miz calls the show "Australian public access" that promises Cristiano Ronaldo but delivers the ball boy, but Ibrahim says there is plenty of him to go around and he is here to be part of the hottest talk show, which is Miz TV.

McAfee then asks Lorcan, Burch and Dunne if they should put the banner up, and after a democratic vote between the four of them, they agree to throw the banner in a trash can "like Vic Joseph's face." After the banner is placed in a trash can, Dunne pours lighter fluid on it, then lights up a lighter and throws it on the banner, lighting it on fire. Pat McAfee mocks the fans, then everyone leaves. As they get in their car, however, Killian Dain and Drake Maverick attack them, but they are quickly laid out, and Pete Dunne kicks a car door into Killian Dain's head.

Before the next match, Miro interrupts Justin Roberts' ring announcing to tell Trent that the match is until he falls because he is stupid and ignorant and because his mother did not teach him any manners. This leads Trent to attack Miro before the bell rings.

Cody then takes the microphone and says he does not like telling a story that is not true, but says that Darby Allin - who has watched the match from the upper balcony seats and is still watching from there now - has told people that TNT does not want them as their champion because he is too reckless. Cody says TNT would love someone like Allin as their champion, and if the situation was different, so would he, because he solely recruited him to AEW even when they were so unsure of Allin that Cody had to wrestle him himself. He tells Allin to look at the man who left the empire, went to war and actually won, then tells him that the truth that he speaks contradicts the lies a lot of people live.

Cole then brings up Finn Balor kicking him in the face, and demands answers from Balor by refusing to leave the ring until they get them. Instead of Finn Balor, The Undisputed Era get Keith Lee, and O'Reilly calls Keith Lee a moment maker who has nothing to show for making memories before calling him "the belle of the ball" from what he has done as of late. Lee gives The Undisputed Era credit, for he is a moment maker, but they forgot to call him a game changer. Keith Lee says that while The Undisputed Era may have all the gold, Cole is now one of the most viral GIFs on the Internet today while he is victorious against The Undisputed Era at WarGames.
