Generation NXT - NXT recap for September 30, 2025

Ricky Saints heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Ricky says that the reality he said would happen in February is now, and while there were empty and doubtful nights as well as people asking if he could win the NXT Championship, he bet on himself and became champion. He says that the NXT Championship is absolute proof that one should only worry about one's self, then Jacy Jayne suddenly shows up. Jacy congratulates Saints, then tells him that they have bigger things to worry about such as Total Nonstop Action's invasion. General Manager Ava shows up and agrees, and names them both team captains for NXT. She says that because of this, they are tasked with picking the best members for their team, and asks them to put aside their pride to do just that before TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up. Santino says he will let his captains pick their team members as well, but admits he does not trust Trick William and names Mike Santana the captain of TNA's men's team. Santana shows up, then says he does trust someone from NXT to be a team captain, and picks Kelani Jordan to be captain of TNA's women's team. Kelani Jordan then shows up. Ava says she needs both teams finalized by the end of the night, and Santino says this is more of a showdown than an invasion, and that there will be a summit between both companies. Jacy Jayne takes exception to Kelani being the captain of TNA's women's team. Saints says that he and Jacy should be more concerned about their own teams and that he will see Santana at the end of the night.

Backstage, Je'Von Evans runs into Leon Slater. Je'Von says their X Division Championship match is "the youngest dream match in history" before The Culling (Shawn Spears, Niko Vance, Izzi Dame, Tatum Paxley) shows up and chides Je'Von for being friends with the enemy. Je'Von says he and Slater will see who is the best at Bound For Glory, and if they are on opposite teams at Invasion, so be it. This leads to Shawn Spears challenging Je'Von and Slater to a tag team match, which both men simultaneously accept. Je'Von and Slater leave, then Lyra Valkyria shows up after Je'Von and Slater leave, and hands Tatum Paxley a Lyra Valkyria doll. The rest of The Culling take exception to this as Tatum is delighted.

Jaida Parker beats Lash Legend.

Backstage, Ricky Saints is being congratulated in the locker room when Trick Williams shows up wanting to be "co-captain." Ricky Saints that Je'Von is on the team, then says that there are two spots left, and that Myles Borne is all in for this and has one of the spots. When Trick says he has the power and size, Jasper Troy steps up, and Trick Williams puts Josh Briggs up for consideration. Starks says there is not much choice when Je'Von does not want to team with Josh Briggs, and Je'Von leaves. Trick proposes that Myles Borne and Josh Briggs face each other for one of the spots, to which Saints agrees to.

"All Ego" Ethan Page heads to the ring. Ethan brags about retaining against Tavion Heights at No Mercy before addressing El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.'s challenge, saying that he only has a doctorate in pissing him off before the man himself seemingly shows up at the arena. We only see that person's foot, though, and instead of El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Mustafa Ali shows up in NXT for the first time in two years. Mustafa tells Ethan that he has no issue with anything he has said, yet he has an issue with the NXT North American Championship. Ethan says he has no issue as well as no business with Mustafa. Mustafa says Ethan does not owe him anything, but NXT does, and that he had a shot at the title before he was released two years ago on this very day and that the opportunity never came, which he is bitter about as he is still waiting. Ethan calls this "a sob story" and tells him to pick someone with the ears to want to hear it, as he is not the guy. Mustafa says he will not cry; instead, he will politick for it, as he has spoken to General Manager Ava and Total Nonstop Action Director of Authority Santino Marella. Next week at Showdown (formerly called "Invasion"), he gets his title shot, and Ethan will have no choice but to defend the North American Championship against him. Ethan gets angry and says that Mustafa is just trying to claim what he never could, and that he will disappoint him and wish him the best in his future endeavors. Both men brawl, and Mustafa lands a drop kick on Ethan before Ethan retreats.

Backstage, Jacy Jayne shows up in the women's locker room. She declares Jaida Parker a strong candidate for the team, then picks Sol Ruca, stating that she defended the Women's Speed title at No Mercy successfully and that she needs winners. Lola Vice asks to be on the team and states that she is willing to put differences aside, but Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid show up wanting a spot on the team. Everyone argues, and Jacy puts Fallon and Lola in a match to see who gets on the team.

We hear from The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy), who states that although they do not know who their opponents in DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) are, there will be no one else at ringside, which promises a fair fight. Matt says they must delete DarkState and win the NXT Tag Team Championships to prove that they are the best of all time.

Myles Borne beats Josh Briggs to earn a spot in the NXT men's team. During the match, Josh Briggs rips off the chain around his neck to use it as a weapon only to get stopped by Matt Cardona, which causes the referee to take the chain away. Borne hits Briggs with a drop kick followed by Borne Again for the win and the spot. The men's team consists of Ricky Saints as captain with Trick Williams, Myles Borne and Je'Von Evans as the other three members.

Backstage, Jordynne Grace tells Kelani Jordan that there is a lot of history to the Total Nonstop Action Knockouts World Championship and to carry the title well, then says she does not trust Jacy Jayne. Kelani brings up the fact that Jordynne's past is in TNA, but her present is in NXT. Jordynne mentions Joe Hendry's name as she talks about where she stands, and as Joe Hendry shows up and explains things, Mike Santana shows up and says that Hendry and Jordynne both have one foot in and one foot out. Kelani says she is closing to completing her team, but Santana says he wants her to meet the rest of the TNA locker room. Jordynne and Hendry, both knowing that they will not be picked for either team, agree that they need to be part of Showdown somehow.

Lola Vice beats Fallon Henley to earn a spot on the NXT women's team.

We hear from DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin). They say that what they started does not stop for anyone and that they forced NXT's hand, and that they are here to be the moment. Osiris then says that he and Lennox took the NXT tag titles and will take the Total Nonstop Action tag team titles.

Backstage, Jacy Jayne apologizes to Fallon Henley, stating she should not have put her in a match with Lola Vice when Lainey Reid shows up and tells Jacy not to be too hard on herself. Fallon wants to know what her deal is with them, then Lainey then reveals that she was the hooded woman who helped Jacy retain at No Mercy before admitting that she also attacked Jazmyn Nyx, stating that she never belonged in Fatal Influence (Jacy and Fallon).

Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater beat The Culling (Shawn Spears and Niko Vance). After the match, it is revealed that the entire Total Nonstop Acton locker room has made its way to the arena on a Cybertruck. The NXT locker room soon shows up, and everyone confronts each other. After the commercial break, the NXT and TNA locker rooms surround the ring. General Manager Ava runs down the card for Showdown, then Trick Williams tries to make an announcement as "co-captain" only for Ricky Saints to tell Trick he is riding shotgun. Saints picks Trick, Myles Borne and Je'Von Evans for his team, while Mike Santana picks Frankie Kazarian, Moose and Leon Slater for his team. Jacy Jayne tells Kelani Jordan that when she was Knockotus Champion, she still represented NXT, and as far as she is concerned, she is "a two-timing traitor." Jacy then picks Sol Ruca, Jaida Parker and Lola Vice for her team, while Kelani - who looks forward to shutting Jacy up -picks The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) and Mara Sadé (who she almost calls Jakara Jackson to mess with everyone). Mike Santana says that TNA is winning Showdown just like he is winning the TNA World Championship and bringing it back where it belongs, then punches Trick Williams and starts a massive brawl that ends the show. As the brawl goes on, Shawn Michaels watches from the bottom of the ramp as everybody goes at it.

Here are the highlights for tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 30, 2024

Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore introduce everyone to tonight's show before we look back on "Main Event" Jey Uso's Intercontinental Championship win.

"Main Event" Jey Uso heads to the ring after briefly being joined by one of his sons on the concourse. Jey declares that he will be a fighting champion and thanks the fans for their support throughout the years, and while his family may have made it hard for him, his biggest fan was his mother, who told him to go out there and show who he was. She also told him to go out there and get it, and he got it and "we did it." Suddenly, Bron Breakker shows up. Breakker says he is here out of the respect he has for the Intercontinental Championship, and after battling it out with Jey Uso, he has the same respect for him. He talks about how the title was family to him and that the better man should win it, and that Jey was the better man. He says he will not Spear or attack Jey, as he wants to be the first person to congratulate him. Both men shake hands, and as Breakker turns around to leave, Jey tells Breakker that there are some dogs in Evansville, Indiana tonight.

It is announced that Raw will be two hours starting next week.

In backstage footage from earlier today, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio gets a call from Finn Balor. He finds out that Finn is having some travel issues, then tells him to tell Liv that everything is taken care of.

Xavier Woods beats Rey Mysterio after Woods inadvertently unmasks Rey.

Backstage, Lyra Valkyria is met by Sonya Deville and "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler. Sonya mockingly mentions that Lyra will be alone before stating that she and Shayna will be ringside in tonight's match.

We see another vignette with the Viking runes from last week.

Backstage, Xavier Woods is met by Kofi Kingston. After briefly mentioning Woods' win on Rey, Kofi says that he has gotten a shot at the Intercontinental Championship, but that he has given it away to Woods. Meanwhile, Karrion Kross watches them in the distance.

Zoey Stark beats Lyra Valkyria following the distractions and interference by Sonya Deville and "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler. After the match, Pure Fusion Collective (Sonya, Zoey, Shayna) gang up on Lyra, but Katana Chance (wearing a protective face mask) and Kayden Carter make the save.

Backstage, CM Punk walks by as General Manager Adam Pearce tells security to stay on top of things regarding CM Punk and Drew McIntyre tonight.

We see footage of the NXT car at the Kansas Speedway.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Lyra Valkyria, Katana mentions the damage done to her face by Pure Fusion Collective, then says that she and Kayden are not going to be nice as they make their way back to the women's tag titles. The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn) show up and state that the women's tag titles belong to them, and Lyra has to hold Katana and Kayden back.

General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring with Hell In A Cell with security. He mentions Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk in Hell In A Cell at Bad Blood, saying their war has to be over, but to make it to the match, they must make it through tonight, and there will be no physicality between them tonight. He does allow for last statements between McIntyre and Punk, then introduces Punk, followed by McInytre. McIntyre says he has "less than zero" respect for Punk, and out of respect for his wife AJ Lee after what he does to him, AJ will have to take care of him and may have to leave him. He then says it will be a celebration when Punk is gone, never to return. McIntyre says that after ten months, everyone still chants Punk's name, and says that even Roxanne Perez realized who Punk was after idolizing and spending a few days with him. McIntyre says that there was a time when he was not a blip on CM Punk's radar and that Punk taught him how to hate, and even during a time when he was surrounded by nothing but love, that hate stayed with him. McIntyre says that this hate will die with CM Punk before climbing out of the ring and standing on the ring apron. Punk says people have called him a lot of things during his career, and tonight, he is voiceless, as he has nothing to say to "a piece of garbage like [McIntyre]" except he is full of rage looking at him that he cannot go home. He says he has stayed in a hotel because he will not subject AJ Lee to the hate that he has subjected himself to, and that he has to be the Boogeyman that his critics have called him to send McIntyre home to Scotland in a box. Punk reminds McIntyre that he prayed for all of this and it happened, and when they are locked in the cell and he has taken everything from McIntyre and has him at his mercy, McIntyre will not pray to a god or a devil, but to CM Punk. He then tells McIntyre that he will see him in Hell.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Braun Strowman. Strowman says he is not nervous tonight and that he will remind everyone why he is "The Monster of All Monsters," then The Miz shows up. As The Miz talks with Strowman regarding last week, R-Truth shows up.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Sami Zayn. He says that the disrespect, not the rejection, from Gunther bothers him, as people have always disrespected him throughout his career, and while Gunther says he is not at his level, he knows how good he really is at the end of the day. Sami hopes Gunther is watching, as no matter what he does, he does not go away that easily and he will get his shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.

The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Carlito) beat The Latino World Order (Dragon Lee, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz del Toro) in a six-man tag match after Liv Morgan distracts the ref so that Finn Balor can suddenly show up and trip Joaquin Wilde off the top rope, allowing JD McDonagh to hit Wilde with Devil Inside for the win.

After the commercial break, The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Carlito, Liv Morgan) are still in the ring. Finn Balor says he has heard what Damian Priest had to say last week, saying that he has no heart and that he will prove to the world that it was Priest who needed them and needed him, and that The Judgment Day never needed Priest. As Liv Morgan promises to end her revenge tour successfully, Rhea Ripley shows up and says she was with Dominik with a very long time and knows all his secrets, then brings out the shark cage as he mentions that Dominik is extremely claustrophobic. She says that when Dominik is in the cage at Bad Blood, he will have the best seat in the house when Liv Morgan realizes that she is not as good as her. Rhea says she will win back the title that she has never lost and that the time for talking is over as Damian Priest shows up from behind and goes on the attack. As Priest beats Finn Balor up, Rhea headbutts Liv and throws Dominik into the barricade. Rhea throws Dominik at the shark cage before scaring Liv Morgan to the back and throwing Dominik into the cage. As she tries to shut Dominik in the cage, Liv attacks Rhea from behind, Priest eventually falls to the numbers game in the ring.

We hear from Sheamus, who says that the worse thing that being cracked by a bat is being cracked by a shillelagh, and that he has created a monster out of Pete Dunne. He says that Dunne has gone too far and has ended up on the wrong side of a fight night, and while Dunne is dangerous, they can still handle things one last time in a Good Ol' Fashioned Donnybrook Match.

WWE acknowledges the death of baseball legend and WWE Hall of Famer Pete Rose. In memory of Pete Rose, 1941 - 2024.

Backstage, we hear from Damage CTRL (Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane). Iyo Sky says that Bianca Belair has stated that they will be ready for them, but they will be ready for Bianca and Jade Cargill. Kairi Sane says that they plan on make Jade and Bianca fall, and challenge them to a women's tag title match so they can be on top again. Iyo Sky says they must get the titles back, as they are still the most dominant force in the women's division, and that she will live rent free in Bianca Belair's head as they win the titles back.

Chad Gable beats Kofi Kingston after Xavier Woods tries to trip Gable and fails while Kofi Kingston goes for Trouble In Paradise and misses due to Woods' tactics.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews "Big" Bronson Reed. Bronson hopes that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins comes back after he took months off his career, as he plans to take years off his life when he returns. He also says he exposed Braun Strowman as the man that he is, as he is Last Monster Standing.

Gunther walks by as General Manager Adam Pearce tries to keep security on top of things backstage.

We see another video from Wyatt Sicks (Uncle Howdy, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross), saying not to go down a certain path, warning not to force their hand as it will lead to demise. We see a QR code followed by a shroud falling off of Nikki Cross' head.

Gunther heads to the ring. It is announced that Ilja Dragunov was injured in a match with Gunther at a house show in Columbus, Georgia and that Dragunov will be out for six to nine months. Gunther states that life as World Heavyweight Champion has been fantastic and that he loves every aspect of being world champ, but there is one thing that he hates about the life and that is dealing with Sami Zayn every single week. He says he could not ask for anybody more annoying than Sami Zayn when Sami shows up seemingly on command, and Sami says that if he finds dealing with him annoying, he could easily put an end to it by giving him a shot at the World title. He then says Gunther will not do it, and demands Gunther come up with a new excuse. Gunther says he tried to beat it into Sami that he is not on his level, but Sami reminds him of how he beat him at WrestleMania. Sami says that the loss drives Gunther crazy and that Gunther is scared that it will happen again. Gunther says Sami is right and that he is scared, not of Sami, but of his reputation, as losing to Sami was the biggest embarrassment of his career. He says that he was so busy embarrassing Sami in front of his own family that is backfired, as he brought his own family to watch backstage and he had to answer to his own father as to why he lost to a bum in Sami Zayn. Gunther says he does not expect Sami to understand as his family is used to seeing him fail and do not expect anything to him while he is the golden goose of his own family and that he is special in addition to being World Heavyweight Champion. Sami says he has failed in front of his family countless times and got back up, but when Gunther lost, he crumbled, ran off and hid for months because he knew he could not show his face here because his father made him feel like a loser. He then says that Gunther is showing his father that he is also a coward, and Gunther responds by beating Sami up. Sami fights back and hits the Exploder Suplex despite Gunther trying to block it, but Gunther counters the Helluva Kick with a sleeper and a powerbomb. Gunther then tells Sami that if he wants the World Heavyweight Championship so badly, then he has his match.

The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) beat The Awesome Truth (Miz and R-Truth) after The Miz turns on R-Truth, booting him in the face as soon as he is tagged in.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser when Bron Breakker shows up and looks at the World Heavyweight Championship. Bron Breakker apologizes, saying he wanted to see the championship for himself, and Gunther says "He really is a badass." Breakker tells Gunther that he will see sooner than he thinks. In the background, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston are arguing.

Braun Strowman beats "Big" Bronson Reed in a Last Monster Standing Match that sees the timekeeper's area barricade and the front row barricade behind it get annihilated, Bronson Reed getting his hands on General Manager Adam Pearce, and Seth "Freakin'" Rollins showing up to hit The Stomp on Bronson Reed on the ring steps to ensure Strowman the victory.

We hear from Karrion Kross and Scarlett. Kross says that Drew McIntyre has been trying to lure him out of the darkness for quite some time, and that McIntyre has been on top for some time as well. Kross says he is the kind of guy one has to put in the hospital to put down, and at Extreme Rules, he will take McIntyre to a point of no return, as they both want the same thing and only one has it; because of that, they are bound together through suffering. He says that once the world knows what he has seen through the cards and McIntyre is out of the way, he will soon become undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

Imperium (GUNTHER, Giovanni Vinci, Ludwig Kaiser) head to the ring. Kaiser says there have been few things more insulting to the mat than the presence of The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland, Butch). Vinci says none of them exhibit the qualities of a champion, and that GUNTHER is what a champion looks like. GUNTHER says that he will beat Sheamus next week and grind him down for the final time and enjoy the look of defeat in his eyes when he breaks his spirit once and for all. He then says Imperium will obliterate all three of The Brawling Brutes before Sheamus shows up. Sheamus says Imperium loves talking a big game about The Brawling Brutes, then says that while Ridge Holland and Butch are stuck in Florida, he is here, and he is more than happy to kick all three of their heads right off their shoulders.

Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate and Trent Seven) beat Ashton Smith and Oliver Carter. During the match, Symbiosis (Eddie Dennis, Primate, T-Bone) shows up, and their appearance proves a distraction to Moustache Mountain until Jack Starz and "Bomber" Dave Mastiff fight Primate and T-Bone.

He says he needs to create a legacy, and to do that, he has to win the NXT UK Championship. Dragunov says he understands A-Kid's motivation, then says he just came off of beating NXT UK's most dominant champion in Walter and tells A-Kid not to be naive and not to compare himself to him. A-Kid says he does not have to compare himself to anyone, and asks Dragunov how it felt to think about one man and one championship for an entire year, then says it is about making mistakes, not will or enduring pain. He also says that when Dragunov loses his temper, he will catch him, and Dragunov will either "tap, snap or nap." Dragunov says it does not matter what trick A-Kid brings out of his pocket, as he did not win the NXT UK Championship through technical abilities. He says that the title needs pain, struggle and will and that one must be "more than human" to hold it. He says that he has to put A-Kid in his place in two weeks, for now, he is the tsar while A-Kid is "just a kid." Both men then shake hands.

Wolfgang says the difference between him and Noam Dar is that he cares about heritage while Noam Dar cares more about money and material things. Noam Dar says Wolfgang may have built these roads, but he is breaking speed records and he is moving at the speed of light and will run him over next week. Wolfgang says this is about himself and what he can do, and all that is standing in his way is Noam Dar. Noam Dar says that Wolfgang is not the only dangerous animal in town and that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and next week, he will eat him alive. Wolfgang and Noam Dar face off in the finals of the NXT UK Heritage Cup #1 Contender's Tournament next week.

Swerve says he has adapted to everything in the business and in life, and he is ready for what he tries to throw at him on Sunday. He says that while he proves he is ready for the world on Saturday, he will prove that Escobar is a fraud. Escobar says the difference between Swerve and himself is that Swerve has made it about himself and for that, he will fail.

He says that since the prophecy ended, nobody takes them as seriously as they once did, but they are still the same Undisputed Era now as they were when they started. He then says that if Austin Theory wants to run his mouth about Kyle O'Reilly, then he came to the ring and say the same stuff about him to his face. Theory shows up, and Cole tells him to either get in the ring or the Undisputed Era can beat him where he stands. Theory gets in the ring, and this starts a match.

HBK says that Finn Balor is "the best Finn Balor he has ever been," while Kyle O'Reilly is a "best kept secret." Finn Balor says he does not consider O'Reilly a secret, as O'Reilly has proven himself in NXT and all over the world. O'Reilly says that Finn Balor is good at stroking his own ego despite being a great fighting champion even in the face of defeat. Finn Balor asks O'Reilly if he will show up by himself. O'Reilly says he will show up by himself.

He says there is always two names on the marquee, then says to imagine the shame of losing the TNT Championship in three weeks. He says that after that, he got a call from Hollywood and ended up on another show with other celebrities, and he asked himself who he was other than "the guy who got beat in three minutes." Cody says his feet are planted firmly on the ground, and while he was gone, so was his ear, and while he can say that he is the ace of the company, he cannot, as that honor belongs to AEW's current champions. Regarding Brodie Lee's challenge to a Dog Collar Match, he declines as Executive Vice President of All Elite Wrestling. He heads to the stage, then turns around, heads back to the ring, and says "No, as in no regrets; no, as in no looking back," then accepts for next week.

After sending Dominick into the ring post and slamming him on the floor, Lesnar gets Dominick in the ring and hits a German suplex as a referee shows up. Rey crawls to Dominick, but falls victim to a third F5. Lesnar then walks up the ramp, but stops less than halfway up it before getting back in the ring, suplexing Rey and then suplexing Dominick. At this point, Heyman begs Lesnar to stop as multiple referees and officials are at ringside. Officials check on Rey and Dominick as Heyman begs Lesnar off and referees direct Lesnar away from the ring. Lesnar enters the ring again, attacks the officials in the ring, then tosses Rey and Dominick to the side again. Lesnar then tears his shirt off and smiles before leaving the ring, and he and Heyman finally head to the back.
