Jinny beat Aleah James. After the match, Jinny says her match is an example of how ruthless she can be, then says she is queen of NXT UK and that she has a killer instinct the other women do not have. As she says that women like Piper Niven act like they are untouchable and that they should be at the top of the division, Piper shows up and dares her to say it to her face. Suddenly, Kay Lee Ray shows up and calls both of them "funny." Kay Lee Ray says she also loves to talk, but she has the NXT UK Women's Championship and neither of them will ever have it, then throws a steel chair into the ring and says that while Jinny would backstab her own grandmother, Piper does not have what it takes. As Kay Lee Ray says it is time to see who has a killer instinct, Jinny slaps Piper Niven only to get headbutted by Piper, who then smacks Jinny with the chair. Aleah James tries to stop Piper only to get a Falcon Arrow. Piper then grabs Jinny and slams her into the chair with a Falcon Arrow, then tells Kay Lee Ray not to disrespect her ever again. Kay Lee Ray trips as she runs away from Piper Niven
We hear from Eddie Dennis, who says there is a symbiotic nature between man and beast and that he now stands between a primate and a boar. He says that Mark Andrews considers him a friend for the last 15 years, but says he has been used for 15 years, and that "Flash" Morgan Webster exploited him like an animal. He then says The Hunt was bred on a battlefield and is bred to take order and hurt people.
In footage from during the break, referees have to stop the brawl between Piper Niven and Kay Lee Ray.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for November 4, 2020
Dakota Kai beats Ember Moon following the distraction from Raquel Gonzalez.
Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Cameron Grimes, who is still weirded out after last week's match but is focused on his match with KUSHIDA tonight. When a referee tells Grimes his match is up next, Grimes runs away, thinking the referee is a zombie.
Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Shotzi Blackheart, who says that she has been allowed to pick her own opponent after hosting last week's show, and says that tonight's match is a huge test against her hand-picked opponent, Toni Storm.
KUSHIDA beats Cameron Grimes with the Hoverboard Lock. During the match, the referee is down after Grimes runs KUSHIDA into him. Another referee shows up, but it is the referee from Grimes' interview from earlier, whom Grimes thinks is a zombie. KUSHIDA then locks the Hoverboard Lock on a scared Grimes, who taps out.
We hear from Toni Storm, who says that while she respects Shotzi Blackheart, she picked the wrong woman to have a match with as she is a new Toni Storm who will use Shotzi as a stepping stone to the top of the women's division.
We hear from Io Shirai, who says that she wants to face Rhea Ripley one more time with the NXT Women's Championship on the line.
Drake Maverick and Killian Dain vs. Ever-Rise (Chase Parker and Matt Martel) ends in a no-contest. During the match, Pat McAfee, Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch and Pete Dunne show up and attack all four men while Pat McAfee mans the television camera that catches them pulling up outside.
Pat McAfee, Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch and Pete Dunne Pat McAfee, Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch and Pete Dunne are still in the ring after the commercial break. McAfee says they are the best group in NXT, then says they are men of class and the new kings of NXT. He says that as the new kings, he says it is only proper to pay tribute to The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) and their accomplishments in NXT. As Pat McAfee mocks the history of The Undisputed Era, Pete Dunne says Roderick Strong taught him he had to trust the right people in this business and that he finally returned the favor last week. McAfee then says The Undisputed Era got more greedy and that NXT changed their business philosophy to prop them up, while people like Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch were held back. Burch says that people told him and Lorcan they would never make it, but they are now tag team champions. Pat McAfee then says that The Undisputed Era did whatever they wanted, and that it took a run-in with him for it to all to start crashing down. McAfee says that he and his group have hated The Undisputed Era for various reasons, and that putting Adam Cole was the greatest thing he has ever done. He then says it is time to put their banner up in the air so they are never head from again. McAfee then asks Lorcan, Burch and Dunne if they should put the banner up, and after a democratic vote between the four of them, they agree to throw the banner in a trash can "like Vic Joseph's face." After the banner is placed in a trash can, Dunne pours lighter fluid on it, then lights up a lighter and throws it on the banner, lighting it on fire. Pat McAfee mocks the fans, then everyone leaves. As they get in their car, however, Killian Dain and Drake Maverick attack them, but they are quickly laid out, and Pete Dunne kicks a car door into Killian Dain's head. The four of them then drive off, and there is a pool of blood emanating from Killain Dain's mouth.
We hear from Johnny Gargano, who says that he likes wheels and making history, despite recent rumors to the contrary regarding wheels. Suddenly, he gets a phone call from the cloaked figure, who says they are in the house. The cloaked figure is then revealed to be sitting next to Johnny. Johnny Gargano then says that he defends his title next week and ends his title defense curse, then wins The Game of Life against the black cloaked figure.
Toni Storm beats Shotzi Blackheart after Candice LeRae shows up on the TitanTron in the middle of a road with Shotzi's tank, saying she will watch over it for her. It is announced that Killian Dain is heading to a hospital following the attack on him from earlier tonight. After the match, Candace - still on the TitanTron - stops a Hummer, then gets in the driver's seat and runs the tank over as a lesson to those who stick their nose into her and Johnny Gargano's business. The hooded black figure sits in the back seat. After Candace LeRae says she and Shotzi Blackheart are even after Shotzi cost her the NXT Women's Championship, Shotzi is distraught, and Toni Storm tries to console Shotzi.
In footage from earlier today, Legado del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Raul Mendoza) is confronted by Jake Atlas, who strikes Raul Mendoza with a pipe before driving off.
It's time for another live edition of Thatch As Thatch Can. Timothy Thatcher's next lesson is reversals. He says that anybody can catch a hold and that you have to ready at all times when you step in the ring. Timothy Thatcher then demonstrates a front guillotine choke with his student Akeem, then has Akeem do one so he moves to the side as he goes down and applies pressure with his forearm to forcefuly break the hold and go for a Kimura Lock. As Akeem taps, he locks it in even more, and Akeem almost gets angry with him. Thatcher then shows what to do during an escape attempt from the opponent, which leads to an ankle lock. Suddenly, Thatcher is attacked from behind by "Retro" Anthony Green, now known as August Grey.
Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Xia Li, who says that the letters she has gotten are personal letters from family and that she must turn things around. Suddenly, she gets another one from General Manager William Regal. After reading the letter, Xia Li demands a match with Raquel Gonzalez - who has dishonored her - next week. Regal says he will take care of that.
We hear from Rhea Ripley, who has wanted to challenge Io Shirai since June after this year has been "trash." She says that Io Shirai is terrified of losing her championship, and says that she will enter 2021 as NXT Women's Champion.
Next week: Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) vs. Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch for the NXT Tag Team Championships!

Before the next match, Miro interrupts Justin Roberts' ring announcing to tell Trent that the match is until he falls because he is stupid and ignorant and because his mother did not teach him any manners. This leads Trent to attack Miro before the bell rings.

Kingston says he had to sell out and become everything he hated to get the title, and says there is no saving him as he takes the title from Moxley. Moxley takes the microphone and says that the longer he has been in the business, the more he has learned that loyality is a bitch, and while he has been burned time and time again, he never thought Kingston would burn him. He tells Kingston that he was happy for him and for his mother, to whom he promised that he would watch Kingston's back. He says that the loudest person in the building is the weakest, then says that after eighteen years, Kingston got the shot he never had, but at the same time, he knows he is going to lose and find out that he did not deserve it after all.

After the match, The Dark Order confronts The Gunn Club and Cody, and when John Silver tries to attack Cody and The Gunn Club from behind with a steel chair, Orange Cassidy shows up and stops Silver, hitting him with an Orange Punch. Cody then takes the microphone and says he does not like telling a story that is not true, but says that Darby Allin - who has watched the match from the upper balcony seats and is still watching from there now - has told people that TNT does not want them as their champion because he is too reckless. Cody says TNT would love someone like Allin as their champion, and if the situation was different, so would he, because he solely recruited him to AEW even when they were so unsure of Allin that Cody had to wrestle him himself.

Cody says that Allin wants "the ace belt," but he is not the ace.

After the match, The Dark Order confronts The Gunn Club and Cody, and when John Silver tries to attack Cody and The Gunn Club from behind with a steel chair, Orange Cassidy shows up and stops Silver, hitting him with an Orange Punch. Cody then takes the microphone and says he does not like telling a story that is not true, but says that Darby Allin - who has watched the match from the upper balcony seats and is still watching from there now - has told people that TNT does not want them as their champion because he is too reckless. Cody says TNT would love someone like Allin as their champion, and if the situation was different, so would he, because he solely recruited him to AEW even when they were so unsure of Allin that Cody had to wrestle him himself. He tells Allin to look at the man who left the empire, went to war and actually won, then tells him that the truth that he speaks contradicts the lies a lot of people live. Cody says that Allin wants "the ace belt," but he is not the ace.

Moose says he has controlled his narrative and is now born again, then looks back at his time in Impact Wrestling, saying he is undefeated in pay-per-views and has beaten some legendary names. He then says that everyone only talks about Rich Swann, then says Swann carries only the second-most important championship in Impact, then tells him to ask EC3 what pain really feels like before showing footage of his attack on Willie Mack last week.

Randy Orton shows up to start tonight's show. Orton says he became WWE Champion and a fourteen-time world champion eight days ago, and proved he is the best of the best, but "best of the best" does him no justice; Orton says he is "the best, period." Orton says that he has proved he is better than everyone else in the back and that he is the position he is in because he is the best, and because he showed the entire world he is no longer the "Legend Killer" and is now simply a legend. He says that the WWE Championship puts a target on that back, but he welcomes that target and dares anybody in the back to take the title from him. Suddenly, Alexa Bliss shows up. Alexa Bliss gets in the ring, and Orton demands the location of "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt. Alexa Bliss tells him "He...could...be...here..." before the arena lights briefly go red. Suddenly, Orton is hit with a Claymore Kick form out of nowhere by Drew McIntyre, who demands his rematch for the WWE Championship and promises to make Orton's life a living hell. As McIntyre leaves, The Miz and John Morrison show up, call for a referee, and try to cash in the Money In The Bank contract, but Drew McIntyre gets back in the ring and tosses Miz and Morrison out before the bell can be rung, and tells them that nobody is taking the WWE Championship but him.

Miz says he was so close to becoming WWE Champion tonight, and calls Drew McIntyre a petulant child who will not let anybody get their way.
