Generation NXT 2.0 - NXT 2.0 recap for January 18, 2022

LA Knight shows up at the arena. He tells Andre Chase and Bodhi Hayward to keep an eye on the ring for a teachable moment, then wishes Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen luck tonight before heading to the ring. Knight calls Grayson Waller out so he can finish what he started last week, but Grayson Waller fails to show. Knight says that week after week, Grayson says that as much as the people say he sucks, he fears the name of the man who will drop him on his head. He says that Grayson Waller failed to get the job done against him, then Grayson finally shows up with a manila envelope in his hands. Grayson Waller says it is a restraining order that states that LA Knight cannot touch him, and says that there is nothing he would like more than beating him in the ring after all he has done; however, his lawyer advised him to file a restraining order. LA Knight takes a look at the restraining order, which states that Knight will be arrested immediately if he comes within 50 feet of him. Knight says that while he may have a restraining order him, he does not have one against Dexter Lumis. Lumis crawls out from underneath the ring and sneaks up behind Grayson Waller before attempting Silence. Knight tells Grayson he can either lift the restraining order or get choked out by Lumis; either way, he is getting his ass kicked.

Grayson Waller beats Dexter Lumis after a man in a blue suit throws Dexter Lumis into the ring post behind the referee's back. Grayson acknowledges the man after the match. After the replay, Grayson calls the man his "insurance policy." (The man in the blue suit is actually Saurav, who has not been seen in NXT in quite some time.)

In footage from this past weekend, Walter confronts Malcolm Bivens as he calls Imperium (Walter, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel) "a bunch of bitches" and presses him against a set of lockers.

Gacy then helps him with the door before telling Harland that having the strength to face negativity instead of allowing it to spread like wildfire is a true measure of progress.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Bron Breakker, who says that being NXT Champion has set in and that he is ready. He says Santos Escobar is a great competitor and former champion, but everyone is gunning for him now. Elektra Lopez shows up, but Bron Breakker says he is not interested in anything she wants. Santos Escobar says Bron may be champion, but he cannot hold the brand on his shoulders, and that the NXT Championship looks better around his waist. Bron tells Escobar to give him a reason why he should kick his ass right now, but Escobar tells him he will learn that things will be done on his time.

Tony D'Angelo is in the ring with a black casket to celebrate the career of "Petey Poppins" aka Pete Dunne. He says Pete Dunne did not listen to anyone and that he needed to learn a lesson the hard way. He says that his cousin taught him to handle his business by any means necessary, then says this is a closed casket ceremony after what he did to Pete Dunne with a crowbar. Tony says he cannot mourn forever and has moved on to bigger and better things, then says it is time to add some more gold to his collection with the North American Championship. Suddenly, Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams show up on the balcony. Tony says he has his own "boys" and that the three of them are just teammates, and Carmelo says the North American title is his business. Carmelo tells Tony to keep the title out of his mouth or else he will have a closed casket ceremony as well. Suddenly, Cameron Grimes shows up. Cameron Grimes tells Tony to go to the back of the line before addressing Carmelo Hayes, then Carmelo and Trick propose that Tony and Cameron face each other with the winner facing Carmelo. Tony D'Angelo goes for a cheap shot as Cameron Grimes says he will fight anybody, but Cameron ducks it and hits Tony with the picture of Pete Dunne.

Backstage, Josh Briggs tells Brooks Jensen that men are made by handling obstacles, then Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter show up and propose they have some drinks.

When Escobar argues with the referee, Bron Breakker shows up and carries him away, and Malik Blade and Edris Enofe win off the distraction.

We hear from Malcolm Bivens, who says that Diamond Mine are two for two and will become three for three when Roderick Strong wipes the mat with Walter. He says the mat is a revenue generator, not something sacred, and that it belongs to Diamond Mine.

We hear from Solo Sikoa, who says that Boa took it to the next level last week. He says that if Boa wants to use some ancestral powers, he will find out he is not the only one with warriors for ancestors or the only one with war paint, for next week, they will go to war.

Dakota Kai beats Yulisa Leon. After the match, Dakota Kai tries to attack Valentina Feroz, but Yulisa Leon makes the save.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Raquel Gonzalez, who says that she does not make excuses and that she is still coming for the NXT Women's Championship. Cora Jade shows up and asks Raquel if she wants to be a back-to-back Dusty Cup winner.

We see a vignette for Kassius Ohno, who says that the one person coming into NXT UK in 2019 is an American, that the current crop of British wrestlers are "phonies" for being introduced to wrestling by American stars and that he looks forward to teaching the NXT UK roster the British style.

"The Lucky Yin" Kenny Williams and Amir Jordan beat Tyson T-Bone and Saxon Huxley.

In footage from earlier today, Jinny says she is sick and tired of hearing Toni Storm's name, as the NXT UK Women's Championship is all she cares about and she is the only person who deserves the spotlight.

In footage from earlier today, Eddie Dennis says he will return next week "from exile" to take on Ligero. While he respects Ligero, he is in the wrong place at the wrong time, as he plans to take the roster down one by one and Ligero is just the first victim.

Noam Dar shows up. Noam says it so good to be back in NXT UK, and this time, he is here to stay. While he has been traveling the world with 205 Live and showing his talents, he has kept an eye on NXT UK, which he says has been doing pretty good. He says it will do even better when NXT UK heads to Glasglow, Scotland, and says he has been here since the start and watching from afar as everyone jockeyed for position to fill his big golden boots. He admits they have been doing an okay job, but NXT UK needs him, and he is now officially part of the brand - not some 205 Live special guest appearance - and NXT UK is not ready for him. Mark Andrews shows up in response to Noam Dar's remarks, and Dar tries to get a cheap shot in. Andrews ducks and forced Noam Dar to retreat.

We hear from Xia Brookside. While Brookside is a revered name in British wrestling, it has been a blessing and a curse. She overcame bullies and stood up for herself, and says Rhea Ripley is the biggest bully in NXT UK. She says that Rhea has been a bully to her since day one, but she is not the same Xia Brookside, and next week, Rhea will learn that the hard way.

"Wild Boar" Mike Hitchman and "Primate" Jay Melrose are in action next week.

Kay Lee Ray beats Candy Floss in her NXT UK debut.

We hear from Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate and Trent Seven), who says the first round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is done with. However, they still look forward to their rematch with Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake). While Zack Gibson is not medically cleared, Tyler Bate wants a match with James Drake in NXT UK as Moustache Mountain takes care of business.

General Manager Johnny Saint and Assistant Sid Scala announce that Tyler Bate vs. James Drake is official for next week. Afterwards, they head out to watch this week's main event.

Pete Dunne and Walter beat Gallus (Joe and Mark Coffey) after Gallus' use of the WWE United Kingdom Championship as a weapon fails. After the match, Pete Dunne tries to pick up the WWE United Kingdom Championship, but Walter steps on it before personally handing it to Dunne.

We hear from Eddie Dennis, who says that everybody wants to know what happens to him after NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool. He says this time last year, he ruptured his right pectoral muscle and was on the sidelines. He signed a contract with the largest wrestling company in the world that May. He says that adversity motivates him, and when he returns, he will be more dangerous than ever before when he takes down the NXT UK roster one by one.

Xia Brookside beats Candy Floss with the Brooksy Bomb. After the match, Rhea Ripley runs into the ring and slams Candy Floss, and while Xia Brookside fights Ripley, she fares no better, and Rhea Ripley swings her around before Toni Storm runs in to fight Ripley off. As Toni headbutts Ripley multiple times, Ripley drags Xia between them and Toni accidentally headbutts Xia. Ripley then gets the upper hand on Toni Storm.

We hear from Jordan Devlin, who says he has been running roughshod over NXT UK for the past few months. At Worlds Collide, he will represent the brand and make a statement when he defeats Noam Dar.

Joseph Conners beats "Wild Boar" Mike Hitchman.

Backstage, Joe Coffey tells the rest of Gallus that tonight, he will take down Ashton Smith, Mark Coffey will send Walter back to the slopes of Austria later, and Wolfgang will take down Pete Dunne, for NXT UK is their kingdom.

We see a vignette for Jinny, then a backstage interview with Jinny. Jinny tells Radzi he looks hideous, then says that while the NXT UK Women's Division is full of talented women, Toni Storm constantly gets in her way.
