The concert concludes with Elijah playing guitar while he and Hendry both sing.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Leon Slater. Slater does not take well to being seen by The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC) as a lackey while he has bigger plans in TNA, and that he will earn respect not just from The System, but from the fans.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Colons (Eddie and Orlando Colon). Orlando says they have followed TNA for a very long time and says that TNA needs their family history, legacy and tradition.

The Northern Armory (Eric Young, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams) shows up. Eric Young says he did what he said he would do and eliminated "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander forever, calling it a celebration of his unmitigated power. He says that Alexander started The Northern Armory, but he was too weak to hold it and he took it from him. He says that Judas Icarus and Travis Williams were boys and pawns under Alexander, but they will soon be men and champions under him. Eric Young says nobody has seen or done as much as he has and that nobody has sacrificed more than he has, and that no matter what anybody claims to be, he is the foundation, the life blood, the gatekeeper and "the one." He says that there should be a man standing with them taking TNA by storm with them, and that man is Steve Maclin. He tells Maclin to take his position next to him so they can control the company forever.

He then says that there is no right or wrong within the business and that the business is "red...blood red."
We see footage of Santana in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting when Mustafa Ali shows up with his cabinet and calls everyone in the room an inspiration for going to war with their addiction.

Tessa Blanchard shows up. As Tessa is blanketed with "Tessa, we comin' for you!" chants, Tessa says she is not wrestling tonight because Dr. Asa "decided [she] was not a priority" and that Lei Ying Lee is not on her level. This leads to "Shut the fuck up" and "Tessa, the door!" chants before Tessa tells the fans to sit down and shut up and says that the business runs on her time. The crowds then chants "She's a racist" before Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up while Tessa further berates the fans. Tessa tells Santino to let the fans have it, but Santino is focused more on Tessa. Santino confronts Tessa for weaseling her way out of a match and says he and the fans are sick and tired of it, and declares that if Tessa does not wrestle next week, she is fired. Suddenly, Masha Slamovich shows up. She hopes that Tessa wrestles next week and does not get fired before she gets a chance to beat and brutalize her. This leads to a "Please don't wrestle!" chant.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for December 10, 2024
Giulia heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Giulia delcares that she is Iron Survivor and that she will do what she came her to do: become the NXT Women's Champion. Roxanne congratulates Giulia and says she is lucky, then says Giulia is not on her level. While she gives the women's division credit where credit is due, Roxanne says that she has beaten Giulia before and will do it again. She then says this assumes that Giulia even makes it, and while Giulia wants to face Roxanne right now, Cora Jade shows up and reveals that she and attacked attacked Stephanie Vaquer backstage. Giulia attacks Roxanne, but Cora attacks her with her black shinai from behind. As Roxanne and Cora go further on the attack, then Kelani Jordan runs into the ring and fights Cora Jade, making the save for Giulia.
Backstage, everyone looks at "All Ego" Ethan Page's post-match promo from Deadline, then The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino, Adrianna Rizzo) meets with Ethan Page. Ethan says he does not know how to get back to the top of NXT, and when Tony D'Angelo offers Ethan a shot at the North American title, Ethan calls the title "a step down." Tony D'Angelo then makes the title first come, first serve, and immediately, Ethan changes his mind as everyone surrounds D'Angelo.
Backstage, Lexis King talks with Charlie Dempsey, saying he has done some soul searching and that he wants another shot at the Heritage Cup. Dempsey says he will think about it. Dempsey then meets with the rest of No Quarter Catch Crew, saying he is proud of how close they all came. Suddenly, OTM shows up and mock them for losing, and this leads to an argument.
Je'Von Evans beats Wes Lee.
Backstage, Nathan Frazer and Axiom talk. Axiom apologizes to Frazer for doubting him, but Frazer gives him credit for their tag team victory. Axiom also says he wanted Frazer to become Iron Survivor, and that he wants success for him. Frazer says he will make things right.
We hear from Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura, who talk about Pro Wrestling Noah's N-1 tournament, what they like in each other, how Inamura loves the craziness in NXT, and how they plan to dominate the tag team division.
Backstage, Sarah Schreiber gets an interview with Giulia and Kelani Jordan. Kelani says that what goes around, comes around, and while Stephanie Vaquer will be okay, Roxanne and Cora cannot run a lemonade stand in a desert, much less NXT, and that she would eat Cora Jade alive.
Backstage, Zaria and Sol Ruca talk about the women's Iron Survivor Match when Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson show up and say they would have done better.

Hank Walker and Tank Walker beat Tyriek Igwe and Tyson Dupont. After the match, Tyson Dupont is willing to shake hands, but Tyriek Igwe is not.

He says that he and Trick Williams have not crossed paths yet due to their individual paths, then says it is time to see who the real top guy is. Trick shows up, but all of a sudden, Eddy Thorpe also appears and says this is not happening, as he will not ignore Oba Femi attacking him and that he and his people had enough. Oba tells Thorpe to shut his mouth, as he is making some very bold accusation, and asks Thorpe if he saw him attack him. Thorpe says he was attacked from behind and that only one man had that kind of power. Trick says he has been where Oba Femi has been and that they will collide for New Years' Evil. He says he is glad Oba Femi is here, as a title reign is not defined by its length but by who the champion beats during that reign. Oba says the only reason Trick has been the number one guy around is because he let him, and that Trick only had his era because he allowed it. He says that when he was ready, he would take the NXT Championship easily, then looks at Thorpe as he says he and Trick have a date with destiny and that Trick's era will end. Oba leaves, then Thorpe gets in Trick's way and demands a title shot, saying he thought Trick as a man of the people but is really "a manufactured sports entertainer." Thorpe says Trick would not last two weeks in the Japanese dojos he came up in, and as Thorpe questions Trick's pre-WWE resumé, Trick tells him to shut up, as he has silenced his doubters and that Thorpe cannot take his title. He gives Thorpe his title shot next, tells General Manager Ava to set it up, then knocks Thorpe out.

Shawn Spears speaks with Izzi Dame, saying she is impressive, but Izzi says she does not need him saying how impressive she is and walks off.

Here are the full highlights from tonight's show!
Backstage, everyone looks at "All Ego" Ethan Page's post-match promo from Deadline, then The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino, Adrianna Rizzo) meets with Ethan Page. Ethan says he does not know how to get back to the top of NXT, and when Tony D'Angelo offers Ethan a shot at the North American title, Ethan calls the title "a step down." Tony D'Angelo then makes the title first come, first serve, and immediately, Ethan changes his mind as everyone surrounds D'Angelo.
Backstage, Lexis King talks with Charlie Dempsey, saying he has done some soul searching and that he wants another shot at the Heritage Cup. Dempsey says he will think about it.

Oba Femi heads to the ring. Oba brags about how he became men's Iron Survivor and how he will reclaim his rightful position on the throne as the ruler of NXT. He says that he and Trick Williams have not crossed paths yet due to their individual paths, then says it is time to see who the real top guy is. Trick shows up, but all of a sudden, Eddy Thorpe also appears and says this is not happening, as he will not ignore Oba Femi attacking him and that he and his people had enough. Oba tells Thorpe to shut his mouth, as he is making some very bold accusation, and asks Thorpe if he saw him attack him. Thorpe says he was attacked from behind and that only one man had that kind of power. Trick says he has been where Oba Femi has been and that they will collide for New Years' Evil. He says he is glad Oba Femi is here, as a title reign is not defined by its length but by who the champion beats during that reign. Oba says the only reason Trick has been the number one guy around is because he let him, and that Trick only had his era because he allowed it. He says that when he was ready, he would take the NXT Championship easily, then looks at Thorpe as he says he and Trick have a date with destiny and that Trick's era will end. Oba leaves, then Thorpe gets in Trick's way and demands a title shot, saying he thought Trick as a man of the people but is really "a manufactured sports entertainer." Thorpe says Trick would not last two weeks in the Japanese dojos he came up in, and as Thorpe questions Trick's pre-WWE resumé, Trick tells him to shut up, as he has silenced his doubters and that Thorpe cannot take his title. He gives Thorpe his title shot next, tells General Manager Ava to set it up, then knocks Thorpe out.
Backstage, The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) state that they need to get rid of Gigi Dolin. Meanwhile, Gigi Dolin speaks with Tatum Paxley, saying they need a tag team partner. Izzi Dame shows up and confronts them, then Shawn Spears, Niko Vance and Brooks Jensen show up, allowing Gigi and Tatum to walk away. Shawn Spears speaks with Izzi Dame, saying she is impressive, but Izzi says she does not need him saying how impressive she is and walks off.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for July 9, 2024
"All Ego" Ethan Page heads to the ring to start tonight's show, and he is flanked by security on his way there. Ethan says it took only six weeks to absolutely take over NXT, and to be able to do that in such a short amount of time took determination, adaptability, being a world-class athlete and "a giant freaking ego." He makes fun of the look on the fans' faces when he won the NXT Championship, then says he has security because everyone hates him and to make sure nobody comes for him and his title. All of a sudden, Oro Mensah tries to charge at Ethan Page, but he is quickly removed by security. He thanks General Manager Ava for banning Oro Mensah from Heatwave so he did not ruin another opportunity for him in one of the greatest main events in NXT history. He says that as NXT Champion, he promises that he will make sure that none of these "outsiders" come to NXT and ruin what is had, as what is had here is very special, then declares that he - not the fans - is NXT and that the "Whoop That Era" is done. After Ethan declares "The Era of Ego," Trick Williams shows up admitting that Ethan got the win that night and that he wants his rematch tonight. Ethan thanks Trick for the Trick Shot and helping him fall into the NXT Championship, then says he knew this would happen and that he is the guy around here now before denying Trick his rematch. Shawn Spears shows up and says Ethan owes him a thank you, because if his view was not obstructed and he did not keep Trick out of the ring, Ethan would not be NXT Champion. Shawn then asks Trick "Who's the goofy ass now?" after he lost the NXT Championship without getting pinned, then says he cannot let Trick have that rematch and that Trick must go to the back of the line. Je'Von Evans shows up and tells Ethan and Shawn to shut up and says that he managed to knock out and pin both of them and nearly win the NXT Championship, then says he has shot his shot and will shoot it again. Je'Von and Trick then brawl with Shawn and Ethan and quickly clean house.
