Generation NXT - NXT recap for March 31, 2021

Before the next match, Cameron Grimes shows up with a bunch of documents. He says there is a lot of money being left with the intellectual property of The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong), and without his efforts, it could be done for. Grimes shows off a new "Grimes The System" shirt and a "Grimes The System" theme song, but Roderick beats him up and throws him into the ring for the match.

Cameron Grimes beats Roderick Strong after pulling an Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) armband out of his trunks. When Strong looks at it, he is distracted, and this allows Grimes to hit the Cave-In for the win.



We see a video package of Karrion Kross' preparations for his match against Finn Balor for the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: Stand And Deliver.

We hear from Walter, who says that Tommaso Ciampa was focused on wrestling and was a dominant champion, then says Ciampa is now focused on other things and he is a shell of his former self. Walter then says that he is NXT's most dominant champion and that he has put more focus on wrestling than anyone else, and at Stand And Deliver, he will prove that the mat is sacred.



It is announced that NXT will move to Tuesdays on April 13th.

Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) is in the ring. Santos Escobar says that tonight, he wants to issue an open challenge because he runs things around here and wants to show Jordan Devlin what he is in for. He says that he was born a champion, unlike Devlin, and says he is "the emperor of Lucha Libre" who represents over 100 years of tradition, and says the Cruiserweight division will belong to him as long as he wants it to because it is in his blood. Santos says blood and tradition state that he is the best cruiserweight in the history of NXT, then Tyler Breeze shows up. Breeze says the difference between him and Santos is that Santos is entitled while he had to work to get here, then accepts Santos' challenge.

Santos Escobar beats Tyler Breeze. After the match, Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza hold Breeze down, but MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) show up and rush the ring, causing Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza)to retreat. Grizzled Young Veterans then show up on the video screen. Zack Gibson says that Legado del Fantasma and MSK are both distracted, while he and James Drake are soon to become NXT Tag Team Champions.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews The Way (Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, Austin Theory, Indi Hartwell). Johnny Gargano says that he has no way to prepare for TakeOver and that William Regal is unfit to run NXT. He also questions why Austin Theory is in the Battle Royal Eliminator. After Austin Theory asks Gargano if he has ever heard of the Finger Poke of Doom, Candice LeRae says that she and Indi Hartwell will show the women's division how it is done tonight.

In backstage footage from last week, Io Shirai says that she challenged Raquel Gonzalez because she is a challenge.



We see a video clip of a Pomeranian approaching the WWE Performance Center.

The Way (Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell) beat Gigi Dolin and Zeta Moran. After the match, Candice says there is no woman in the back who deserves to be more than champion more than her, and that she and Indi deserve to be tag team champions. She tells Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon that she is coming for what is hers on her time, her stage and her way at Stand and Deliver. Suddenly, Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart show up. Ember Moon tells Candice and Shotzi they have lost their minds, and that they expected this. Shotzi says that they will take care of business, and accept their challenge. They then fire a foam missile out of their tank at Candice and Indi.



Io Shirai approaches Raquel Gonzales and says "You cannot kill me!" before hitting her. This starts a brawl that ends with Raquel getting the upper hand.

We see a video clip of the dog from earlier entering the WWE Performance Center.

In footage from the commercial break, Roderick Strong leaves the arena with his bags, saying he is done. (Roderick Strong does not return for tonight's Gauntlet Eliminator Match.)

Raquel Gonzalez beats Zoey Stark. After the match, Io Shirai runs into the ring and brawls with Raquel only to get overpowered.



We see another video of the Pomeranian - this time running across the weight room - in the WWE Performance Center.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews KUSHIDA, who says nothing will stop him tonight, then Pete Dunne shows up and says he is the best technical wrestler in the world, not KUSHIDA, and dares him to prove him wrong.

We see a video package chronicling the events leading to Adam Cole vs. Kyle O'Reilly at NXT TakeOver: Stand and Deliver.



Xia Li beats Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter. During the match, Kayden Carter confronts Mei Ying - the woman in the chair - and Boa. Mei Ying grabs Kayden by the throat and blows smoke into her face, knocking her out.



Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Raquel Gonzalez when Io Shirai attacks Raquel again. Raquel grabs Shirai and slams her straight through a wall.

We see the Pomeranian approach a pair of red stiletto heels standing on a ramp, and the words "See you April 13th! Franky" appear on the screen.

We hear from Tommaso Ciampa, who talks about how his wife and daughter gave him his necklace before he had surgery, and says that sometimes in life, we need to be reminded of who we are. He says that he has heard what Walter has had to say, and now he sits here and wonder if he has changed. He says he has changed in some ways, but then he shifts his mindset and thinks of those who still believe, and says he hears his supporters. He says that at Stand and Deliver, he will climb up to the top of Walter's mountain, look him in the eye and chop his head off, as he has been at the top and knows what it is like to fall to the bottom and make the climb again. He says he has changed, but he has learned that he would rather fight for something than fight six nights a week and twice on Sunday, and tells Walter it will be a long, long fall from the top of the mountain.



Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell vs. Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon for the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships is official for NXT TakeOver: Stand and Deliver.

We hear from Finn Balor, who says that he expected Karrion Kross for a long time, and when the pressure is on at TakeOver, it is hard to breathe and your body becomes heavy. He says that the rules do not apply to him and that his stamina is his strength. He says that Karrion Kross may dictate the match, but the longer it goes, the more that Kross will drown in the deep water, and at TakeOver, Kross will choke.



Cameron Grimes, Bronson Reed, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Leon Ruff, LA Knight and Dexter Lumis are the final six people in the Gauntlet Match Eliminator. They are eliminated in this order, which dictates which order the NXT Superstars in the Gauntlet Match enter: Leon Ruff, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Bronson Reed, Cameron Grimes, Dexter Lumis and LA Knight. Before the match begins, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott is attacked from out of nowhere by Leon Ruff, who brawl before the first commercial break. Johnny Gargano guests on commentary for the match after the second commercial break. Cameron Grimes is eliminated when he tribes to bribe Dexter Lumis and LA Knight into eliminating themselves. LA Knight eliminates Dexter Lumis after diving through the top and middle ropes in an attempt to spear Lumis before pulling Lumis off the apron to eliminate him. After the match, LA Knight has a staredown with Johnny Gargano, then Io Shirai shows up and calls out Raquel Gonzalez, who shows up. Shirai and Raquel brawl again, and this time, the whole women's division has to step in to separate them. Shirai ends up taking everybody out with a cross body off the top rope to end the show.





Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Generation NXT - NXT recap for August 12, 2020

Karrion Kross beats Danny Burch with the Kross Jacket. After the match, Keith Lee shows up with a contract in his hand, and Kross and Scarlet leave the ring. Keith Lee says he is not surprised, and says that Kross has denied a shot with him and proved he was "a little bitch." Lee says that he has worked with General Manager William Regal and promised not to lay a hand on Kross until their match, and says that his and Regal's names are on the contract and that all it needs now is Kross'. Scarlett takes the contract and allows Kross to sign it. After Kross signs, Scarlett kisses the contract, then passes it to Keith Lee. Lee stands there at first, then picks up the contract, but when he opens it, he is suddenly blinded by a fireball. Referees and medical staff run into the ring to check on Keith Lee, then help him to the back.





As Keith Lee is helped into an ambulance which soon drives off, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) shows up at the arena. They run into the ring and attack Drake Maverick and Killian Dain as they are having a match, then Adam Cole calls out Pat McAfee, saying that if he wants to come into his world, play wrestler and talk trash on social media, that is fine, but punting him does not make him special. He then says that at NXT TakeOver: XXX, Cole tells McAfee he will take on "that guy," then dares him to come out to the ring next week so he can tell him he will "whup that ass" as McAfee finds out that he is in way over his head at TakeOver.





We hear from KUSHIDA, who says that he has a shot at the North American Championship and that regardless of who his mystery opponent is, he will win his ladder match and become champion.

Santos Escobar beats Tyler Breeze following the distraction by Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde. After the match, Fandango - now in a sling - shows up, snaps the head off a broom and attacks Wilde and Mendoza only to be overpowered by Escobar. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott shows up to make the save.



We hear from Dakota Kai, who states that Io Shirai has been put on a pedestal, and that she knows how to beat her. She says the best part of success is getting into your opponent's head, and that Shirai is in her territory now. Kai says she has outsmarted Shirai and that she has done everything on her own to get to where she is right now, and that she does not need anyone to get there. She then says she will beat Shirai at TakeOver and become NXT Women's Champion.

We hear from Ridge Holland, who says that the hype is real and that pain is coming in his Second Chance Match.

Before the next match, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Mia Yim, who says that Keith Lee is okay and that there is no serious damage.

Mia Yim beats Indi Hartwell by submission.



We hear from Finn Balor, who says it was first about opportunities and now about second chances. He says that everyone watches him, and tells whoever is yet to reveal themselves to enjoy themselves, as they will be easy pickings later.



It is announced via Twitter that Pat McAfee will be on NXT next week.

Bronson Reed beats Damian Priest after reversing the Reckoning into a jackknife pin.



We hear from Io Shirai, who says that when Io Shirai kicked her in the face, she got the message. She says that Dakota is acting as if she is a big star, and that nobody knew who she was until she turned on Tegan Nox. She calls Dakota Kai a manipulator who gets rid of people when they are done. She says that she only sees the cute girl who was scared of Shayna Baszler, and after TakeOver, Kai will be scared of her, as she is no match for her. Shirai says that Kai is in her head, and that she has just pissed her off.



We hear from Cameron Grimes, who says he is in the right place at the right time and he will beat his opponents tonight to climb his way to the North American Championship.

Before the next match, Robert Stone says his brand has been "el fuego," and that he is looking to the future, which is very bright. He says that future could include Kacy Catanzaro, who is hanging out with all the wrong people when she could be hanging out with the right ones. Catanzaro answers Stone's offer by beating Stone up when Stone tells her to "ditch the loser."

Aliyah and Mercedes Martinez beat Kayden Carter and Kacy Cantanzaro. After the match, Rhea Ripley shows up. Robert Stone and Aliyah run away, but Mercedes Martinez stands her ground. Rhea Ripley overpowers her, but Aliyah runs in and makes the save. As Aliyah and Martinez stomp Ripley in the corner, Shotzi Blackheart shows up and makes quick work of them before tending to Ripley.



We hear from Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae. Candice LeRae says that Tegan Nox needs to mind her own business as she ready a book to her dog. Gargano says that while there has been a lot of fresh faces in NXT, he and LeRae have been the one constant, and as talented as they are, they are not on his level, and while Ridge Holland is big and strong, he will beat him next week. Gargano says that he will go on to become a two-time North American Champion, and the next time he climbs a ladder, he will be fixing NXT instead of fixing a light bulb.



We see Timothy Thatcher teach a few prospects about adaptation, and how to use his body as the fulcrum in a single leg Boston Crab to get his opponent where he needs to.



Next week: Pat McAfee and Adam Cole come face-to-face! Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Raul Mendoza, Joaquin Wilde) vs. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott and Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango)! Johnny Gargano vs. Ridge Holland vs. Finn Balor and a mystery opponent in Second Chance Qualifying Matches!

KUSHIDA and Cameron Grimes' mystery opponent is revealed to be Velveteen Dream, who has not been seem in some time.

Cameron Grimes beats KUSHIDA and Velveteen Dream to qualify for the North American Championship Ladder Match after hitting KUSHIDA with a Cave-In as he has Velveteen Dream in a Cross Arm Breaker. Since Velveteen Dream as not pinned, he ends up being Finn Balor's opponent next week. After the match, Velveteen Dream snaps and attacks KUSHIDA. Dream soon has a stare-down with Finn Balor to end the show.

We see a vignette for Dexter Lumis.

Keith Lee shows up. Lee says that he is now aware that Damien Priest attacked him, but he assumed that Dominik Dijakovic attacked him and mocked him by holding the North American Championship. As he states that he owes Dijakovic an apology, Dijakovic shows up. Dijakovic says he does not give a damn about his apology; only his North American Championship, and while he has more respect for him than Priest does, he took food off his family's plate. Damian Priest shows up and says that his eyes are on the North American title because it will give him more money, more women, more fame and more legacy, and for his name to live forever, he must win the title. Lee tells Priest says that who he attacked means he does not live forever, and he is standing right here. Priest then pulls out a baton and says that she shouldn't be standing anymore. Dijakovic goes after Priest, but Lee pulls Dijakovic away and attacks Priest himself. Dijakovic takes out both men with a swanton over the top rope.



We hear from Adam Cole, who is currently on vacation. He says that he has been thinking about his altercation with Velveteen Dream, then says there is no reason for him to be flustered after what he has done in NXT. He says that Velveteen Dream has done nothing to earn a shot at him and the NXT Championship and that The Undisputed Era wants a piece of him, especially Bobby Fish, and says that it is "dream over" for Velveteen Dream when Fish is done with him.



Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch beat Shane Thorne and Brendan Vink with a crossface from Burch to Vink as Lorcan puts Thorne in a knee bar.



Candice LeRae beats Kayden Carter with the Garga-No Escape to qualify for the NXT Women's Championship #1 Contender's Ladder Match.

Next week: Velveteen Dream vs. Boby Fish! A Second Chance Gauntlet Match for the NXT Women's Championship #1 Contender's Ladder Match! Dominik Dijakovic vs. Damian Priest vs. Keith Lee for the NXT North American Championship!

Triple H is in the ring. He states that there has never been a more intense rivalry in NXT than between Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano. Not long afterwards, Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Ciampa says he has been in NXT for five years, and that everything that can be said and done has been said and done. After Ciampa demands that Gargano come to the ring, Triple H says that there will be no physicality tonight. Gargano shows up and says he will not get into the ring with Ciampa after he attacked him last week, and says that it is all Ciampa's fault the Performance Center was damaged. Triple H brings up Gargano superkicking the referee, and says if it weren't for him, they would be fire. Triple H brings up Gargano superkicking the referee, and says if it weren't for him, they would be fired. He then demands Gargano get in the ring, which he does, after Triple H tells Ciampa not to touch him. Triple H says that Ciampa and Gargano's rivalry has gone far enough, and while there will come a point where everything will be put aside and both men will realize there is more to life than what's in the ring, he gets what is going on and how it all should end. Gargano says it should have all ended last year, but Ciampa broke his neck and he was not the one to break it. Ciampa says bigger things are happening in his own world and while he broke his neck, he agrees that this must end. Triple H says that this must end on the biggest stage, but Gargano disagrees, saying all they need is a referee and a ring. After Gargano says he will make Ciampa realize what kind of monster he is, Triple H asks when they can end it. Triple H says that in two weeks, he will find an empty building, put a ring in it, and have a referee in there to say it is over, and when it is over, it is over and it is done. He says that if it continues, neither man will be in NXT. Both men argue over who NXT will carry on without and who will win in two weeks, then the vignette with the clocks, ruined buildings and vultures appears on the TitanTron. Killer Kross' face is seen on the vignette this time. This ends the show.

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.

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.

Mia asks Baszler is she is scared, then asks what happened to Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir, saying she has everything to gain and nothing to lose and ready to bring a fight she can't train for. Baszler tells Mia she isn't special, and that everyone will see that she is nothing but street trash.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews General Manager William Regal, who states that Io Shirai did something dreadful to Candice LeRae. Suddenly, The Forgotten Sons (Jaxson Ryker, Wesley Blake, Steve Cutler) barge in. They state that Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) cannot make title matches, and demand one from Regal. Regal tells them they got disqualified and went back to the bottom of the queue when they had their chance. Jaxson Ryker tells Regal they won't forget this as The Forgotten Sons leave. Regal states that Street Profits have proposed that they defend the NXT tag titles against Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch next week, which he makes official.

In part two of Adam Cole's championship tour, Cole goes to Gargano's Subs. As he picks up an order, he places a autographed picture of himself next to a painting of Johnny Gargano before picking it up and leaving. Cole hints at the picture as he leaves, then heads to a wrestling school and tells everyone that even though they respect Johnny Gargano, Gargano is "full of crap" and got lucky against him. He tells everyone at the school that Gargano gave them a false sense of hope before telling them all to give up on their wrestling dreams and find themselves a new hero.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for June 19, 2019

The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) show up to start tonight's show. Adam Cole says "Told you so!" before stating that the NXT Championship is just the start of their 2019 prophecy of being covered in gold, and that they attack and take what they want from the guy up top. If anyone gets in their way, they make sure they regret it. Cole then states that they will reshape NXT into "an undisputed image," and states that the show should start with an intro consisting of nothing but shots of them. O'Reilly says their custom intro was "just something [he] threw together last night," and Cole says they have all the undisputed power. Cole then tells the North American and NXT Tag Team Champions to have the belts shined up for them, as they will have all the gold and all the power this year and they will not stop until they have it all and nobody will be able to touch them. He states that The Undisputed Era will have every ounce of power that NXT has to offer, then Velveteen Dream shows up. Velveteen Dream says that if nobody can touch Adam Cole, he would like to touch him, then says that he is "the NXT experience" is due to him, and while Cole looks good in gold, he looks even better, and he wants the NXT title to go along with the North American one. Roderick Strong tells Velveteen Dream to "dream on" and that he is undeserving of being North American Champion or even being in their presence. Suddenly, Matt Riddle shows up. Riddle asks Roderick Strong how hard he hit him at NXT TakeOver XXV, as he has wins against The Undisputed Era. Cole says Riddle is jealous because he has never held gold and has squandered every championship opportunity he had. Cole then tells Riddle to go back to writing reviews about wrestlers from the Attitude Era, for the Attitude Era is over and Riddle's era will never come, for he is living in their era. Suddenly, Tyler Breeze shows up. Breeze says that he has been talking with General Manager William Regal, and while he does not care who is more undisputed or who is better looking, he cares about The Undisputed Era taking credit for a brand he built before they even showed up. He announces that Regal has taken his suggestion and that he, Velveteen Dream and Matt Riddle will take on three members of The Undisputed Era in the main event.
