Generation NXT 2.0 - NXT 2.0 recap for March 15, 2022

In memory of Scott Hall "Razor Ramon", 1958 - 2022.

The Miz heads to the ring for a special NXT edition of Miz TV. Miz talks about his match with Logan Paul against Rey and Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania, then introduces tonight's guests: Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. Ziggler says being NXT Champion just feels right after more than fifteen years in the business, and Miz says that Bron Breakker will not be showing up after showing footage of Bron Breakker being kicked off the premises. Robert Roode says that Bron Breakker knew exactly what he was getting into when he lost the NXT Championship, and Ziggler says that Bron Breakker was smart to leave and not come back. As Ziggler brags about how humble he is and how he is a fighting chapmion, LA Knight arrives. LA Knight congratulates Ziggler on becoming champion, then says that if Bron Breakker cannot show up tonight, then he will not be waiting to face Ziggler tonight. Ziggler says he is a fighting champion, but he only fights superstars. Miz agrees with Ziggler, saying that Knight is a major player, but not yet. Knight says he is a megastar, not a superstar, and any day of the week, he can take the title off Ziggler. He says that NXT is his show, not Ziggler's, and Ziggler has something that belongs to him. After Knight tells Ziggler to prove that the show is his, Ziggler says the world needs ditch diggers, too, and that he only fights in the main event. He then says that when Knight finds out where the main event, he knows where to find him. Miz makes the match official.



Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams guest on commentary for the next match.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Cora Jade. Cora Jade says that Toxic Attraction will have hell to pay and that Raquel Gonzalez will be out for four to six weeks. He says she will be looking for Toxic Attraction, but Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne) will be looking for her, too. She then takes the NXT Women's and Women's Tag Team Championships off some stage rigging, saying they care about those things above all else, and welcomes Toxic Attraction coming after her.

Santos Escobar beats Cameron Grimes to qualify for the NXT North American Championship Ladder Match after countering the Cave-In with the Phantom Driver.



We hear from Io Shirai and Kay Lee. Kay Lee Ray says they have a mutual goal, and Io Shirai says the only way to do it is to take the women's tag titles. Kay Lee Ray says Dakota Kai and Wendy Choo are tough opponents, but they are here for tag team gold. Io Shirai says that Toxic Attraciton tag team title reign will come to an end. Meanwhile, Wendy Choo meets with Dakota Kai backstage concerning the match, then Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne) show up looking for their championships and Cora Jade.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza, Elektra Lopez). Santos Escobar says he is the greatest luchador of all time and the greatest WWE has ever seen, and Stand & Deliver will be his time when he becomes North American Champion. Suddenly, Rey and Dominik Mysterio show up. Dominik takes offense to Escobar calling himself the greatest, and Rey says Dominik will be the one breaking his records and carrying on his legacy after Lopez says that Escobar will break all of Rey's records. Dominik then says he is here to fight. Legado del Fantasma oblige, and Escobar tells Dominik that he just made a big mistake.



Before the next match, Tiffany Stratton attacks Sarray from behind and rips the medallion off of her neck to keep her from transforming.

Tiffany Stratton quickly beats Sarray.



Backstage, LA Knight is met by Gunther, who says that he does not respect Knight for being a loudmouth, calling him an embarrassment to pro wrestling. Knight says the difference between them is that Gunther is sports while he is sports entertainment.

Backstage, Jacy Jayne looks for Cora Jade, then finds one of the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship belts. When she pulls it down, two cage doors close on her and Cora Jade locks her in.

Tommaso Ciampa heads to the ring. Ciampa talks to the fans about gratitude, as he sometimes looks around and takes things in to this day, as professional wrestling has been his life. Ciampa says he has been wrestling for seventeen years, and in the independents, he always wanted to find a place that believed in him that he could call home, and that all he needed was a chance to run with the ball. He says that this opportunity came in NXT, and since he arrived, success did not come easily or immediately, but the things worth fighting for seldom come easily. Ciampa then talks about the last seven years he has spent in NXT, then says that while it could be a "do it yourself story," he always had the fans behind him. He also says that he talks about his big heel turn after TakeOver: New Orleans every once in a while. He says that it has been a journey, then says he never left and that the fans never left, and that is what he calls gratitude. As the fans chant "Please don't go," Ciampa wants to know what his perfect fairytale ending in NXT will be. He calls Stand & Deliver a perfect fairytale ending, as last week was the perfect opportunity but he came up short. Ciampa says he does not have the answer of what the perfect ending is, then says one does not have the opportunity to say "thank you" before they miss it, and thanks the fans for their support for the last seven years. Suddenly, Tony D'Angelo shows up with a crowbar in his hand. Tony tosses the crowbar to the side, then says he could have hit in the back of the head. He then says this is different, because he respects him. D'Angelo says he has asked himself who he has to beat to put himself in the history books and make him "the man in NXT," then says he is standing in front of that guy. He states that Tommaso has been the man for a while now, and says it would be an honor for the family for the two of them to square off at Stand & Deliver. D'Angelo extends his hand, then Ciampa shakes it only to be kneed in the gut. D'Angelo tells Ciampa that he will become the new Don of NXT before kissing him.



Before the next match, Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta show up at the same time and try to mess with each other.

Indi Hartwell beats Persia Pirotta with a stack-up pin after Dexter Lumis shows up from underneath the ring and confronts Duke Hudson, which distracts Persia. After the match, both couples have a staredown before having a smooch-off.



Outside of the arena, Gigi Dolin finds one of the women's tag team title belts in front of a dumpster door. When she climbs in and takes it, the door is closed on her - and kept closed - by a forklift controlled by Cora Jade.

Dominik Mysterio beats Raul Mendoza after Fallon Henley shows up and yanks Elektra Lopez off the ring apron after Lopez distracts Dominik. Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen show up to have Fallon Henley's back, then Rey Mysterio decks Santos Escobar. Dominik then hits Mendoza with the 619 for the win.



WWE pays tribute to the late Scott Hall.



Outside of the arena, Cora Jade finds Mandy Rose's Range Rover. She tosses away the can of spray paint in her hand and gets in the Range Rover with the NXT Championship, but finds out Mandy Rose is in the back seat. Mandy Rose beats Cora Jade up and threatens to put her on the shelf with Raquel Gonzalez, then says she will fight her or any other woman for the NXT Women's title before telling her she is not on her level and never will be. She then spray paints "TA" on Cora Jade's back.



The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) and Malcolm Bivens get in the ring. Julius says that they will find out who blindsided them and that heads will roll until they do, and Brutus wants the culprits to face them man-to-man because they are ready. MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) show up in nWo shirts, but Wes Lee says that they did not attack them and Nash Carter accuses them of cutting the line at the tag team titles. Suddenly, Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel) shows up on the balcony. Barthel says it is hilarious watching them argue over something they will never obtain, and Aichner says none of them have the skills to take the titles from them. Malcolm Bivens dares Imperium to get in the ring and give the Creed Brothers their title shot, but Wes Lee says MSK is just as deserving of a title shot. Aichner says he and Barthel disagree, then challenges both teams to a Triple Threat title match at Stand & Deliver. Barthel then says that since Malcolm Biven loves to talk about perception and reality, the perception is that they are at a disadvantage, but the reality is that they fear no one.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Cameron Grimes, who says that he has disappointed his late father after three years of being in NXT and never being a champion, and that he has lost the opportunity to do it at Stand & Deliver instead of going to the moon like he always says that he is.



Backstage, Malcolm Bivens want to know from Malik Blade, Edris Enofe and Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) if they attacked The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed). Malik and Enofe say they only attacked the waiters last week for being too close to Mandy Rose (who smelled like lavender) while Grizzled Young Veterans deny it. After The Creed Brothers confront Grizzled Young Veterans, Malcolm Bivens proposes a rematch between the two teams.



Dolph Ziggler retains the NXT Championship. During the match, Bron Breakker shows up and enters the arena. After the match, Bron Breakker shows up and says he wants his reamtch at Stand & Deliver. When Roode gets in his face, Breakker clocks him, then Ziggler accepts.

Johnny Gargano shows up. After the fans chant "Johnny Wrestling" for about two minutes, Gargano states that everyone has asked what the future holds for him. He says that last time he was in an NXT ring, he had fallen from the top of a steel cage and received a standing ovation. He then thanks the fans, saying that they built all this together and that he loves everything about NXT. He says that everyone in the locker room has poured their hearts out and created the best show pro wrestling has to offer, and that he has seen people come and go and make choices about their future. He then states he has made his choice, but before he can announce what that choice is, Shane Thorne shows up. Thorne says Gargano's speech is not necessary and that Gargano has to have the spotlight on him, and while Gargano is a pillar of NXT, NXT will be just fine without him.

Thorne then tells Gargano to take a bow and take a walk, but Gargano says he's not going anywhere and superkicks Thorne.
