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.

Before he can say that they want to take the title from him, Cameron Grimes shows up and says he doesn't need to be talking about them when he should be talking about him. He says that when he caved in Dijakovic in the ring last week, he beat him in less than 20 minutes, unlike Lee, who tells him that he has made him the gravest mistake of his career. The fans continue to boo as Grimes says that while Lee and Dijakovic's match may be a five-star match and that General Manager William Regal has given him a match for the North American title. As Grimes continues to speak, Lee shoves him out of the ring and tells him that if he wants a title match and "an equal-opportunity ass-whooping," he's got it.

Fish says their patience has running thin, and as he says that Roderick Strong will beat Velveteen Dream and that they will get the gold back, The BroserWeights (Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne) show up. Matt Riddle says he, Pete Dunne the fans and General Manager William Regal are all down for a rematch, then he and Dunne are attacked from behind by Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake).

Gargano almost goes off on Ranallo as he asks for an explanation as to why he did what he did to Ciampa, and tells him that he knows why, and to admit that would make him a liar. When asked if he is a liar, Ranallo says "no," but Gargano accuses him of showing favoritism towards Ciampa compared to him, and Ranallo is forced to walk out of the interview before Gargano tells Ciampa that they will do things his way next week.

As Dream tries to stop Strong from leaving the cage, he looks at Adam Cole in the opposite corner, then shoves Strong out of the cage to end the match before locking the cage door, trapping Adam Cole in the steel cage with him. After the match, Velveteen Dream fends off Adam Cole as well as Roderick Strong, and hits Cole in the face with the NXT Championship before celebrating with it.

He says that Velveteen Dream made it personal, and says he is ready to hurt him and do something he will not regret.

Backstage, Tommaso Ciampa looks back on the day that he relinquished the NXT Championship and admits that he was scared and full of doubt that he would return to the ring and that he had given up his biggest opportunity.

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).

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.

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.

Suddenly, Toni Storm shows up. Toni congratulates Ripley, then brings up beating her for the NXT UK Women's Championship before stating she will win the title again on Sunday before becoming a double champion at Worlds Collide. Toni says this is only if Ripley has the guts to accepts her challenge, which Ripley does as she says that she does not mind beating her again. Suddenly, Kay Lee Ray shows up. Kay Lee Ray says nobody believes this will happen, as there is no way Toni will take the NXT UK Women's Championship from her, much less make it to Worlds Collide. Suddenly, Io Shirai shows up. After Io Shirai dictates that the NXT Women's title will be hers, Bianca Belair shows up and says she is better than everyone else - and that Toni Storm doesn't even go here - before Candice LeRae shows up.

Johnny Gargano shows up. Gargano says he has been waiting a long time to get a live microphone and talk about Finn Balor. While he will not take away from what Finn Balor has done for NXT and how he injured him, Finn did not finish the job. He then says the main difference between him and Finn is that he chose to stay in NXT while Finn got out at the first opportunity, and he picked NXT up from where it left off and took it to the stratosphere without Finn Balor, which eats Finn Balor alive. As Gargano states that it eats Finn Balor alive that he was not needed for NXT to succeed, Finn Balor shows up and says promos are all Gargano is cleared for.

Cole says that The Undisputed Era had a November to remember when they took over Raw and SmackDown before embarrassing both brands at Survivor Series.

He then says NXT repaid them by injuring Bobby Fish's neck and throwing Cole into the crowd like a rag doll. Cole demands respect, for he is the NXT Champion.

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. Lee then eyes all of the championship belt that The Undisputed Era have, wondering which one to take first. Cole proposes they make a moment right now, when they beat Keith Lee down and end his career. Keith Lee strikes Adam Cole, then fights off O'Reilly and Strong while Cole retreats.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for November 27, 2019

The NXT locker room celebrates their Survivor Series victory to start the show, then The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) shows up. Cole says the only reason NXT was successful over the weekend was because of them, and that everyone else in the locker room did absolutely nothing. Cole says that they dominated at both War Games and Survivor Series because they are the "iron men" of the brand, and while everyone else is taking the night off, they will successfully defend the NXT Tag Team Championships because that is what they do. Tommaso Ciampa, having had enough, interrupts, saying that they are confident for four men who got beaten at War Games, and that everyone else is seeing what is going on except them. He states that War Games is the beginning of the end for The Undisputed Era, and while The Undisputed Era has all the gold, the decline will continues when The Undisputed Era lose the tag team titles. Ciampa tells Roderick Strong that his days are also numbered, and that "Goldy" will soon be coming home now that "Daddy" has gone to war and won. He then tells Cole that he will find out what he is in for, as there is not one member of The Undisputed Era that is no longer in his way. Suddenly, Finn Balor shows up and tells Ciampa he is standing in his way, but Ciampa reminds him of his "The business watches me" statement, then proposes that they have a one-on-one match. Keith Lee tells Finn Balor that he is confident that Ciampa can beat him, then dares O'Reilly and Fish to get in the ring because it is "basking season."

The Undisputed Era (Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish, Roderick Strong) retain the NXT Tag Team Championships against Keith Lee and Dominik Dijakovic after Keith Lee shoulder blocks Adam Cole - who is running towards the ring - into the first and second rows near the ramp. During the match, Bobby Fish is injured after being tossed into Kyle O'Reilly from the ring to the outside by Keith Lee, and he is replaced on short notice during the commercial break by Roderick Strong, who is still in street clothes.

It is announced that Tegan Nox is not here due to Dakota Kai's actions at NXT TakeOver: War Games.

Backstage, Cathy Kelly interviews Candice LeRae, who says that ever since War Games, all she has heard about is Dakota Kai destroying somebody who might as well be her own blood in Tegan Nox. She thought Dakota Kai was a friend and didn't expect her to do what she did, and says Tegan Nox will get hers against Dakota Kai. She says that Dakota Kai will meet "Tegan Nox's pissed-off big sister" instead of a friend in the ring tonight.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Tommaso Ciampa, who says that he issued the challenge against Finn Balor because he wanted it, and while Finn Balor made history in NXT, he made the NXT Championship what it is. He then says that if Finn Balor wants to stand in his way, then it is his mistake.

Xia Li beats Vanessa Borne after "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir show up. After the match, the three of them go after Xia Li. Xia Li manages to hold her own against all three of them for a time, but the numbers game soon catches up. Baszler then takes the microphone and says that everyone is trying to take credit for what happened weekend and that nobody had a weekend like she did when she beat Becky Lynch and Bayley at the same time. As she brags that she has held the NXT Women's Championship for over a year, Rhea Ripley shows up, but Baszler, Duke and Shafir walk away as Ripley walks out of the ring. Ripley tells Baszler that she came here to say something to her face to face, which causes Baszler to go back to the ring. She congratulates Baszler for winning at Survivor Series, then says she beat her when they went face-to-face and that she will do it again, but next time, it will be for the NXT Women's Championship. Baszler says she has heard this song and dance before, and while Ripley is the nightmare, she is the reality, and that the reality will be "tappin' or nappin' just like the rest of 'em." Ripley then asks Baszler "Then why not do it now?" before telling her that she will drop her when she gets in the ring as Baszler leaves the ring again.

Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for November 22, 2019

At the start of the show, the SmackDown roster is addressed by SmackDown's men's Survivor Series team. Roman Reigns tells everyone that NXT is coming tonight, and that they will not be cowards like King Corbin; instead, they will let NXT in and beat them. King Corbin starts arguing with Roman, but Sasha Banks says she waits for nobody and that her team is ready to take care of business right now.

SmackDown's women's Survivor Series team (Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans, Dana Brooke, Nikki Cross, Carmella) shows up. Sasha says this is their ring and their show, and that they are ready to put their differences aside and take care of business, as nobody will attack them from behind. She says that NXT doesn't have the guts to return, and that she knows Raw is here. She calls out Raw's women's team, and Raw's women's team (Charlotte Flair, Sarah Logan, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Natalya) shows up. Charlotte thanks SmackDown for opening the door - even though they would have kicked it down, anyway - and proposes to Sasha they go one-on-one for old times' sake. As the Raw and SmackDown teams argue, NXT's women's team (Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Tegan Nox, Mia Yim and a quietly revealed without fanfare Toni Storm) show up. Rhea Ripley states that NXT has guts, and decides to put herself in the proposed match. A series of verbal arguments turns into a brawl between all three sides.

Rhea Ripley beats Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks with a crucifix pin to Charlotte after getting underneath Charlotte during the Figure Eight and pinning her. After the match, Charlotte and Sasha go at it, and Raw and SmackDown's women's teams brawl. All the while, NXT's team makes fun of both teams while Raw is forced to stand down and SmackDown stands tall in the ring.

Backstage, King Corbin tells Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode they will lead by example, and says that when NXT shows up, they will let NXT beat up Roman Reigns and his partners in their six-man tag match so they can do it again themselves. Suddenly, Sami Zayn shows up. Corbin tells Ziggler and Roode that Sami is annoying, and Sami dares Corbin to call him annoying to his face before his entrance music hits.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Bayley. Bayley says she is prepared, as she is the only person to win all of the current women's titles. She says that if "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Bazler shows up, she is ready, as she is too impulsive for her own good. She says that Baszler only attacks when her back is turned, and that she is waiting and ready for her when she is done hiding in the shadows.

Before the next match, Sami Zayn says King Corbin will not show up because she is afraid of him and Shinsuke Nakamura, just like everyone else. He then says the one word Corbin cannot call him is "annoying," and says the one word that does describe him is "stud," for as big of a stud he is, Nakamura is bigger to the point that he has given him a brand new Intercontinental Championship. He and Nakamura then trade belts, saying that this is the only way to take the title off Nakamura, then he and Nakamura make fun of Roderick Strong's name. Suddenly, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O"Reilly, Roderick Strong) show up. As Sami and Nakamura get out of the ring, Adam Cole introduces The Undisputed Era before proclaiming that they will wipe the floor with Raw and SmackDown. Suddenly, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) show up, and Kofi says that The New Day never got a chance to give them a proper goodbye when they last met. He then proposes a match between The New Day and The Undisputed Era to settle the score. The Undisputed Era like the idea of a four-on-two team, but Heavy Machinery (Tucker and Otis) arrive to back The New Day up.

The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O"Reilly, Roderick Strong) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) and Heavy Machinery (Tucker and Otis). After the match, Roderick Strong confronts Shinsuke Nakamura on the ramp when they are both attacked by "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. Sami Zayn hits Styles with a chair before doing the same to Strong. The rest of The Undisputed Era chases Sami to the back.

After the commercial break, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles says he is the best thing going on in Chicago, Illinois and that he is not going anywhere to prove who The O.C. (Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson) really are. As the crowd chants "CM Punk," Styles says that he would wipe the floor with him, then mocks Sami Zayn for hitting him with a steel chair and tells Roderick Strong to enjoy his fifteen minutes of fame before Daniel Bryan shows up. Daniel then says he is here to summon "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, and says that while he does not care what goes on in his mind, Bray does not know what goes on in his. He calls out Bray so that they can have a face-to-face meeting before Sunday. He also says that if talking doesn't have fun, then they can fight. As Daniel keeps talking, the lights go out. When they come back on, nothing has happened. Daniel is undeterred, and continues to call Bray out. Instead, he gets The Miz. Miz says that it has become clear that unlike Daniel, he is a professional, and says he had to hold back after being disrespected on his own. Daniel says he doesn't care, but Miz says the feeling is mutual. After stating he hopes that Bray tears him apart, he says that he tried to help Daniel since day one to no avail, then proceeds to slap him in the face.

The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan ends in a no-contest. During the match, the lights go out. When they come back on, they are all red, and The Miz is replaced by "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, who puts the Mandible Claw on Daniel Bryan.

"The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler shows up. Baszler says she has heard what Bayley had to say about her, and that Bayley is getting the message. She then calls Bayley out. She is then attacked from behind by Bayley, starting a brawl. Baszler soon gets the upper hand and puts her in the Kirifuda Clutch as Bayley tries to escape. Bayley escapes the hold after mutiple attempts after pushing Baszler into the ring post, but Baszler is fired up by that and Bayley runs to the back.

King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode beat Roman Reigns, Shorty G and Mustafa Ali. After the match, Roman hits Corbin with the Superman Punch, then the Raw locker room comes down from the crowd.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for November 20, 2019

Backstage, General Manager William Regal welcomes Becky Lynch back to NXT as Becky heads to the ring to start tonight's show.

She says that while Triple H sent an open invitation, she was coming anyway. She says that Bayley is crying like a little girl with an old woman haircut about being unappreciated and overlooked, and says that she destroyed all the "Bayley Buddies" except for "the blue-haired one that is holding her back," and while Bayley may be a champ, she is the champ. As for "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, she introduced herself at SmackDown, but she is here in NXT to remind Baszler of who she really is, as she does not need to hide in the shadows or attack from behind. She says that Baszler can bring Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir if it makes her feel safe, then asks Baszler what she will do about her being on her brand. Suddenly, Rhea Ripley shows up and says "So, you're the man...let's see if you have a set of balls." A referee shows up, and this starts a match.

As he tells everyone to say his name correctly whenever it comes out of his mouth, Tyler Breeze shows up. As the crowd chants "Breeze is gorgeous" and "Welcome home," Breeze says he is finally home, and much like Velveteen Dream, he had everybody talking about him. Ever since the fashion left NXT, however, it has felt lifeless and dull and has contained wanna-be imitators and cheap knockoffs, and while it is flattering, there can only be one "Prince Pretty," Tyler Breeze. Dream welcomes Breeze back to his NXT, and that things are done differently around here as the fans and the spotlight want a real man and not "a boy who plays cops and robbers." He says that just because Breeze could not cut it on Mondays and Tuesdays does not mean he can demand a spotlight on NXT, and he tells Breeze to run on home. Breeze says not to confuse "couldn't cut it" with "uninspired," as Dream and the NXT North American Championship has inspired him, and an inspired Tyler Breeze dream is too much and too big for Dream to handle. Dream tells "the dollar store detective who sits in catering on Mondays and Tuesday" to go back to the back of the line, but he doesn't want to leave a bad taste in his mouth and asks for a selfie with him. Breeze contemplates taking such a selfie, then decides to do it. He gives Dream one last piece of advice: he says that when he puts his phone number on his trunks and nobody calls him up, it is because no one is interested. He then punches a shocked Dream in the face and leaves.
