Generation NXT - NXT recap for March 11, 2020

Note: Tonight's edition of NXT takes place in the WWE Performance Center.

Keith Lee retains the NXT North American Championship against Cameron Grimes. After the match, Keith Lee is attacked from behind with a nightstick by Damian Priest, who runs away when Dominik Dijakovic rushes into the ring. Afterwards, Dominik Dijakovic picks up the NXT North American Championship and checks on Lee, but Lee hits Dijakovic with the Fighting Spirit Bomb.



Mia Yim beats Dakota Kai to qualify for the NXT Women's Championship #1 Contender's Ladder Match after Raquel Gonzalez's distraction of the referee works against Dakota Kai. After the match, Raquel Gonzales attacks Mia Yim.



In footage from moments ago, Tommaso Ciampa - who is on his way to the arena - is not affected when told that Johnny Gargano has stated that he is going to do things his way tonight.

We see another vignette full of vultures, clocks, and TV screens showing static.

KUSHIDA beats Raul Mendoza by submission with a top rope Spanish Fly into the Hoverboard Lock.



In footage from earlier today, Tyler Breeze says the Performance Center built the first class, then Austin Theory shows up and says the Center can make mega-stars, and says that Breeze doesn't measure up. Breeze takes Theory's picture with his smartphone, then tells him he looks good for a flash in the pan.



Rhea Ripley shows up. Ripley says that her match with Charlotte Flair is the biggest of her career, and while she feels the pressure, "knocking The Queen on her royal ass" will get her through it. Suddenly, Charlotte shows up. Charlotte tells Rhea she has guts, but she will be too much, too fast and too soon for Rhea to handle, and she will take her to deep waters and drown her. Rhea charges at Charlotte as Charlotte gets in the ring, starting a brawl between the two women. The brawl ends with Charlotte putting Rhea in a Figure Four Leg Lock around the ring post before referees break it up. Charlotte then raises up the NXT Women's Championship before posing with a boot on top of a downed Rhea Ripley.



We hear from Finn Balor, who says that Walter's rise to power sounds familiar and that lies travel faster than truth.

In footage from moments ago, Mia Yim is nearly run over by a van, and two men in luchador masks grab Raul Mendoza and throw him into the van.



Tegan Nox beats Deonna Purrazzo to qualify for the NXT Women's Championship #1 Contender's Ladder Match.



Before the next match, Velveteen Dream stands on the balcony and addresses Adam Cole, saying he does not care about Roderick Strong or his family and that Strong is dumber than he looks. Cole tells Dream he has earned nothing and that he is the greatest NXT Champion he has ever been, and that he will have a celebration of his record-length reign next week. As Adam Cole decides to take out Velveteen Dream, The BroserWeights (Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne)show up.

Next week: Adam Cole's NXT Championship celebration! Candice LeRae vs. Mercedes Martinez in a qualifier! Tomorrow: Finn Balor is live on NXT UK!

Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Ciampa tells Johnny Gargano that he promised to explain his recent actions, and as he calls him out, Gargano shows up on the video screen and says things will be done his way on his time. He says that the fans are wrong about Ciampa and that he has not forgotten what happened three years ago. Ciampa leaves the ring, finds Gargano backstage and attacks him. Gargano does his best to run away from Ciampa, but Ciampa catches up with him and easily overpowers him. Gargano decks a member of security, then continues chasing Gargano to the workout room. Gargano sprays something into Ciampa's eyes, then puts him through the glass window of a nearby door before beating up two members of security before beating up Ciampa. Gargano tries to attack Ciampa with a barbell weight, but Ciampa fights him off and destroys a mirror trying to throw two smaller ones at him. Their brawl then makes it into the crowd. There, Ciampa sends Gargano through a guardrail with a steel chair, then tries to put him through the announce table only to be shoved back. Gargano escapes, but Ciampa catches up with him. Gargano and Ciampa brawl on the balcony above the announce table, then Gargano rips off a piece of the guardrail. Both men brawl, then Ciampa boots Gargano in the head. Gargano locks in Garga-No Escape, then punches out a referee. Afterwards, Gargano superkicks Ciampa in the face, but when he grabs Ciampa by the face, Ciampa gets Gargano up and puts him through the table below with an Air Raid Crash.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for February 19, 2020

The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) show up to start tonight's show. Adam Cole says that obsession will never defeat destiny, and that it was proven to Tommaso Ciampa as well as anyone else who will step in the ring with him. He says that the NXT title will be going nowhere, as The Undisputed Era is the measuring stick and they will continue to set examples. After Cole says that Roderick Strong will make an example out of Velveteen Dream, Velveteen Dream's image shows up on the video screen to tell Roderick Strong to leave The Undisputed Era at home, and that when he is done, tonight will be a night just for him and Marina. Roderick Strong tells Velveteen Dream that he will make him wish he had never came back to NXT.



Jordan Devlin retains the NXT Cruiserweight Championship against Lio Rush.



Backstage, Raquel Gonzalez says that Tegan Nox has gotten every opportunity and pushed Dakota Kai aside. She, like Dakota, has been passed over for opportunity and that Dakota Kai should not be the outcast for standing up for himself. Dakota Kai says that Raquel Gonzalez has her back and that they are untouchable together, then General Manager William Regal shows up and says that Dakota will face Tegan again in two weeks in a steel cage match.



NXT TakeOver: Tampa Bay is live on WWE Network on April 4th!

In footage from NXT TakeOver: Portland, Rhea Ripley says the joke is on Charlotte Flair, because she has gotten what she wanted and that at WrestleMania, queens will get nightmares.

As Austin Theory makes his way to the ring, Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Theory approaches him, but Ciampa says "Not tonight." Ciampa then says he should have seen everything coming, as he was so focused on getting his life back that he didn't heed his surroundings. If there has ever been anything that has gone hand in hand with him and the NXT Championship, that is Johnny Gargano, and says Johnny knows why he did what he did on Sunday. Austin tries to attack Ciampa, but Ciampa lays him out with a punch. Ciampa then says that to get his life back, there can be no Johnny Gargano in NXT. As he leaves, Theory tries to attack him again, but Ciampa turns around and boots him in the face before going on the attack.



We hear from Finn Balor, who says that all the questions, debate and hype all fall short when they come at him, for NXT is his chessboard and he proved it on Sunday. He then says to watch his next move next week.



Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake) beats Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde. After the match, Zack Gibson says America is "the land of the neckbeards and the home of the ignorant Yanks" as he says that Grizzled Young Veterans are here to take over NXT.



The BroserWeights (Pete Dunne and Matt Riddle) show up. After it is revealed that their gold cart was impounded thanks to Riddle, Riddle jokes that Dunne partied too hard and got suspended for thirty days as per the WWE Wellness Policy. Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch then show up for the next match.

We hear from The Forgotten Sons (Jaxson Ryker, Wesley Blake, Steve Cutler), who take offense to Grizzled Young Veterans' (Zack Gibson and James Drake) insults as well as calling themselves veterans. Jaxson Ryker says it is time to beat what America is all about into them.

Keith Lee shows up. Before Keith Lee can say anything, Kona Reeves shows up with a scowl on his face, but when he takes the microphone, Keith Lee shoulder barges him into the corner and tells the referee to ring the bell. Keith Lee beats Kona Reeves with the Big Bang Catastrophe. After the match, Dominik Dijakovic shows up and says he is not ready to move on yet, as he and Keith Lee both know that he had Lee beaten. Keith Lee says all he hears out of him is "if," and that he still won the match. He then says that everywhere they have been, he has already heard the "Fight Forever" chants, and if he can talk General Manager William Regal into it, they can fight forever.



Chelsea Green beats Kayden Carter after Robert Stone trips Kayden from outside of the ring. During the match, Bianca Belair shows up and tells Charlotte Flair she "doesn't even go here," but after she put her hands on her, she wants her here, and that she will "whip that ass" when she gets her in the ring.



Next week: Tommaso Ciampa vs. Austin Theory! Finn Balor live! In two weeks: Tegan Nox vs. Dakota Kai in a steel cage match!

Generation NXT - NXT recap for February 5, 2020

Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne - now officially known as The Broserweights - show up to start tonight's show in a golf caddy with the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic trophy in the back. Riddle says that they are the Tag Team Classic winners, and Dunne says he never thought they would be a tag team. He then says that they will become NXT Tag Team Champions at NXT TakeOver: Portland. Suddenly, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly show up. O'Reilly says he refuses to acknowledge Dunne and Riddle as a tag team, and says they have disrespected the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and the trophy. Before he and Fish get in the ring, Roderick Strong shows up, and Fish says they have bigger fish to fry than them. Riddle acknowledges that Bobby Fish said the word "fish," then asks Dunne how much fish Fish could fry if Fish could fry fish. Dunne tells him not to worry about it, but Riddle turns the question into a song. Dunne says that all that matters is that he and Riddle will smoke The Undisputed Era (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly).



Angel Garza beats Isaiah "Swerve" Scott. After the match, Garza talks about his wins from tonight and Monday night, then says he wants the NXT Cruiserweight Championship and knows that he will be watching Jordan Devlin, who is in the building tonight.



Backstage, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) attack people backstage - and ruin a man's haircut - as they look for Tommaso Ciampa.

We see a video package for Mercedes Martinez.

Sgt. Slaughter is seen in the front row.

Dominik Dijakovic beats Killian Dain. After the match, it is announced that Dijakovic will face Keith Lee for the NXT North American Championship at NXT TakeOver: Portland, then Lee meets Dijakovic on the stage and tells him to bring his A-game before shaking his hand. Before the match, we see video footage of Dijakovic and Dain having a confrontation where each says that the other is in their way.



Backstage, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) demand KUSHIDA tell them where Tommaso Ciampa is. KUSHIDA fights them, but Adam Cole puts him through a board on a trash can. When another man shows up and finds out what happens, he gets kneed in the face by Strong.

We see an exclusive interview with Finn Balor and Johnny Gargano. Both men have been waiting to get their hands on the other, and Finn Balor tells Gargano that everyone will find out he is not the next Finn Balor. Gargano says he is the first and only Johnny Gargano, and says he needs to beat Finn Balor to solidify himself as the face of NXT. He then says Finn Balor needs this match as much as he does, but Finn Balor says he doesn't and says he will take his time with him. Gargano says this is the Finn Balor he needs, and says that he would eat the "Raw and SmackDown" him alive. Finn Balor says the old him died a long time ago, and that he is here to have the last match of Gargano's life. Gargano tells Balor that he can make all the threats that he wants, but come NXT TakeOver: Portland, he will take the NXT flag he left behind and drive it straight through his heart, then leaves. Finn Balor says he doesn't have a heart.



Mercedes Martinez beats Kacy Catanzaro.



Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Rhea Ripley, who cannot wait for Charlotte Flair to show up.

Backstage, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) is attacked by Tommaso Ciampa, who comes out from the inside of a truck and ambushes them one by one. Ciampa and Cole brawl their way into the arena and into the crowd. Ciampa slams Cole's head onto the announce table multiple times, then he is attacked by the rest of The Undisputed Era. Suddenly, The Broserweights (Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne) run in and fights The Undisputed Era, and security and referees have to break up the brawl before Dunne, Riddle and Ciampa stand tall. General Manager William Regal shows up and says that if everyone wants to fight tonight, then they might as well get their gear on, because they all have a match tonight. The massive brawl then picks up where it left off. As it does, the brawl makes its way to the stage, where order is eventually restored.



Jordan Devlin beats Tyler Breeze.



Charlotte Flair is seen approaching the arena.

Bianca Belair shows up. She talks about her match with Rhea Ripley at NXT TakeOver: Portland for the NXT Women's Championship and says that Ripley has forgotten about her. As she calls Rhea Ripley out to meet her face-to-face, Charlotte Flair shows up. Charlotte says she has a lot of respect for Bianca Belair and that Bianca is an amazing athlete, but she is not her, and while Bianca and Rhea are fired up about her, Rhea overlooked Bianca, who has made it all about herself. Rhea Ripley then shows up. Charlotte handwaves Bianca out of the way, then Rhea Ripley tells Charlotte to state her business while Bianca cannot belive what is going. Bianca then tells Charlotte "You're standing here, and you don't even go here!" She then says that Rhea Ripley will not run through her, and that Charlotte will face her at WrestleMania and that Charlotte "cannot whup [her]." Charlotte tells Bianca that this is a conversation between champions and to stand to the side and fix her braid, then Ripley tells Charlotte not to disrespect her or Bianca, as she did not come into Charlotte's house disrespecting her. After Ripley states that she and Bianca will tear each other apart at NXT TakeOver: Portland, she and Bianca then lay Charlotte out.



The Broserweights (Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne) and Tommaso Ciampa beat The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly) by disqualification after Roderick Strong knees Ciampa in the face.

Afterwards, Cole takes a bottle of yellow spray paint and paints an X on Ciampa's back before The Undisputed Era stomps on Ciampa. Before Cole can hit, the "2-5-20" graphic from last week plays, and Velveteen Dream is on the top rope. He drops down and fights The Undisputed Era before revealing pants with a picture of him and Strong's wife and child on the right leg - and the words "Call Me Marina" on the seat, also in Rick Rude fashion - before pounding on Strong to end the show.
