Generation NXT - NXT recap for July 22, 2025

Booker T shows up and hypes up the crowd for tonight's show as he makes his way to the announce table.

The Culling (Shawn Spears, Niko Vance, Izzi Dame, Tatum Paxley) beat Hank Walker, Tank Ledger, Zaria and Sol Ruca in an eight-person mixed tag match. During the match, Tatum Paxley finds one of her dolls in the ring. Suddenly, DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) briefly sohws up, but disappear, and when the lights come back on, Tatum Paxley has Zaria pinned for the win.



In backstage footage from earlier, Jordynne Grace finds out from General Manager Ava, who is surrounded by security, that she is barred from the building tonight after attacking Robert Stone and Evolve Prime Minister Stevie Turner last week. Jordynne says taht one way or another, she will get her hands on Blake Monroe tonight.

Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) head to the ring. Jacy Jayne says that love it or hate it, she runs women's wrestling, which is not bad for "a third wheel" or "the most beatable women's champion in history." Jacy declares that she is on top and that she did it herself without help or support, as the fans tried to write her off. She says that everyone wants to talk about making history to the point that it has become a wrestling cliché, then says there is nothing cliché about her being a double champion. Suddenly, Lash Legend shows up and says nobody expect Jacy to be the double champion, yet Jacy took her moment to become "the #1 girl." Lash then tells Jacy that she will not be on top for long, as it is time for her moment and time to lash out, as he proved she is the most dominant force in WWE at Evolution, and if she can go against the best at Raw and SmackDown, then she is ready for championship gold. Jaida Parker shows up and says she cannot take Lash's flowers away from her, but she has a direct line to the championship and that no matter who she has to deal with, she is the walking reality check and the face of the future of the women's division. Jacy says she will let the two of them hash things out for herself, then sics Fallon and Jazmyn on them. When Fallon and Jazmyn get confused, Jacy attacks Jaida, and this leads to a brawl. Lash and Jaida clean house, but bump into each other and start arguing.



Backstage, Ricky Saints runs into Je'Von Evans, who is coming up with some new moves. Saints tells Je'Von not to overthink things, then the two of them talk about Jasper Troy. Je'Von tells Saints not to overthink Jasper Troy, and Saints says that the revolution will be televised tonight. Je'Von says he will be watching.

Backstage, No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey, Tavion Heights, Wren Sinclair) are met by Myles Borne, who is ready to support them as they get psyched up for tonight's match. All of a sudden, Lexis King is seen kicking something in the background, and it happens to be an arcade machine.

Jasper Troy beats Ricky Saints by count-out after the entrance ramp collapses under Ricky Saints as Jasper Troy intimidates the referee and hits Saints with a senton before getting back into the ring before the ten count.



Backstage, Trick Williams is with The High Ryze (Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe) as he is about tocall out The Undertaker. Wes Lee is ready to assist, but Trick says he must handle this man-to-man. Je'Von Evans laughs at Trick Williams, who tells him to be quiet as grown men are talking. Trick leaves, then Je'Von Evans says he has to see this.

WWE acknowledges the death of heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne - whose appearances in WWE span from WrestleMania 2 and beyond for almost four decades - who passed away earlier today at the age of 76.

Trick Williams heads to the ring. He brags about retaining the Total Nonstop Action World Championship at Slammiversary, then states that he is the greatest TNA World Champion of all time. Trick talks about how he is dropping records and diss tracks as well as everyone who is in his way, then addresses Team Undertaker (Shiloh Hill, Dani Sekelsky, Bayley Humphrey, Drake Morreaux) being in his way backstage last week and accuses them of snitching on them to The Undertaker. He says that The Undertaker may be one of the best ever, but he has never held down two brands at the same time. Trick then says that LFG not only has The Undertaker disrespected, but also soft, and he has no problem being the only man to call him out, which he does. The Undertaker shows up and heads to the ring, then calls Trick "a dead man walking" before complimenting Trick's wardrobe and telling him that he has everything that he needs except respect. The Undertaker says that he keeps up with everyone, and states that Trick Williams as TNA World Champion is not the same guy he watched scratch and claw his way to the top, stating that he was "hungry" and "had the dog in him." He says Trick can have the whole package and everything in the toolbox, but with his attitude, it is not a matter of him losing the title, but when. He says Trick's attitude will be downfall, and that is when the walls will start crumbling down. The Undertaker says he has seen this too many times and that Trick's attitude is what he tries to teach his LFG team, but Trick says he does not care about his team and that nobody in LFG or WWE is a superstar like he is. The Undertaker says Trick is "a little too light in the ass to step to an OG," and that if he wants to dance with the devil, he can flip that switch quickly, and when he does, he will make him famous. Trick goes for a cheap shot, but The Undertaker immediately counters with a choke slam.



Backstage, Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) strategize how to deal with Lash Legend and Jaida Parker. Michelle McCool shows up and thinks Jazmyn should take on Jaida and Fallon Henley should take on Lash. Jazmyn says this makes sense, as only a baddie can take on another baddie. Jacy agrees, but nobody can figure out where General Manager Ava's office is.

Blake Monroe beats Wren Sinclair. After the match, Jordynne Grace shows up as Blake Monroe is still in the ring, and she fights off security to get her hands on Blake Monroe. When security intervenes, Jordynne levels them, then Blake Monroe hits her with a DDT into a metal folding chair.





"All Ego" Ethan Page is behind a podium in the ring, as the NXT North American Championship is on another podium covered with a black mantle. Ethan says this is the 56th day of his reign and that 17 Americans before him have had the honor and privilege of holding the title, but he hopes to bring more honor, diginity, pride and class to the title than all the other 17 champions combined. He plans to do this based on who he is and where he comes from, then talks about how his parents immigrated from Yugoslavia and how he got to see America. He says that if his parents made different decisions, he would end up like the fans, but he did not, as he was born in Canada. He reveals the two Canadian flags to his side, then declares that his title will no longer represent North America, as it represents "an absolute lie." He states that the title should represent the pure dominance of Canada over the United States, Mexico and every country on the continent. He says he was born in Canada but made in America, which makes him the greatest North American alive and affords him the privilege of tossing the North American Championship outside to the floor and replacing it with a variant of the title with a Canadian flag strap. Ethan says he is proud of being from Canada, and that to claim to be a great North American champion will come with a Canadian standard of excellence, as Canada is just a better country. He then states that as North American Champion, he takes great pride in holding the title, but his pride as champion pales in comparison to his pride of being a Canadian. He then sings "O Canada" so that a North American does not butcher his national anthem. All of a sudden, Total Nonstop Action Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and heads to the ring. Santino says Ethan has a big mouth and should be ashamed, then puts the people of North America over and says Ethan's words make him sick. Ethan tells Santino to go back to TNA, but Santino says that the North American Championship should be held with someone with honor, digntiy, class and pride, none of which Ethan has. Santino says he has all that and will see Ethan next week, and when Ethan wants to go at it with Santino, Santino sends him retreating immediately by attemptting the Cobra.





Backstage, Trick Williams runs into Oba Femi, and Jacy Jayne walks between them.

Backstage, Je'Von Evans is taking more notes when Yoshiki Inamura asks him for advice. He wants to know if he is a bad friend for not listening to Josh Briggs, but Je'Von says Yoshiki has his own code. Yoshiki admits he does not like how Josh Briggs, but Je'Von says it is possible to love somebody and not like them. Yoshiki then tells Je'Von that he has plenty of time to figure out what is next, then says he knows what is next for him: the NXT Championship.

Backstage, Myles Borne meets with No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey, Tavion Heights, Wren Sinclair) when Bubba Ray Dudley shows up and hugs before telling Dempsey and Tavion that they have had a match that did not end so well and makes another rematch between them possible; if Tavion wins, he is out of the group; if Dempsey wins, Tavion stays. Lexis King shows up as Bubba Ray leaves, and Lexis accuses Myles of faking being deaf, saying that if Myles is deaf, he is blind. Myles says Lexis is neither blind or deaf, yet everyone in the locker room wishes Lexis was mute.

Oba Femi retains the NXT Championship against Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura in a Triple Threat Match after Briggs and Inamura fail to get along during the match.

He admits that Gunther is one of the best wrestlers in the world and that he looks forward to lacing up with him, and with the fans' support, he promises that he will leave it all in the ring and give everything he has at SummerSlam. He says that he only has two weeks to prepare for Gunther, but he has been training for this for his entire life, as he is not just any other wrestler or challenger; he is the best in the world. Suddenly, Gunther shows up and heads to the ring. The crowd chants "You tapped out!" at Gunther before he can ever speak, then Gunther syas he is not here to throw insult at Punk or create any drama, but to point out similarities: they are here to make money and win championships, and both consider themselves the best. He admits that they both have massive ego, but while the fans have waited for Punk to return for years, his own ego is justified and based on results. He says the best in the world is the man who holds the World Heavyweight Championship. Gunther says he only concentrates on what happens after the bell rings, and after the bell rings, he will make Punk regret he ever stepped foot in a wrestling ring and make Punk realize he was right when he says Punk will never be the best in the world and win his title.

Becky takes exception to the boos and says she should be in New York City for the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2, but she is here instead, because that is what leaders do and she has important business to discuss. She talks about how she narrowly won at Evolution and did what she did what she said she would do, then says she was honest about it while Lyra Valkyria keeps bogarting opportunities for other women. She asks who needs two championships despite being a double champion in the past, and says Lyra's ambitions are completely selfish. Becky then calls Lyra out to the ring. Lyra shows up and heads to the ring, and Becky says that they are one for one in singles competition and that she made her a star, but the trilogy ends at SummerSlam. Becky states that this time, if Lyra loses, she can never challenge her for the Women's Intercontinental Championship ever again. Lyra says that every time she takes care of a problem, it comes back to haunt her, probably because she never goes far enough. Lyra accepts the challenge, stating there will be no count-outs or disqualifications and that there must be a winner. Lyra says that every time she takes care of a problem, it comes back to haunt her, probably because she never goes far enough. Lyra accepts the challenge, stating there will be no count-outs or disqualifications and that there must be a winner.

Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed head to the ring. Heyman states that he stands with the future of the industry in Breakker and Bronson, then says that he has a lot of things to get off his chest before Roman Reigns arrives, which Roman does before Heyman can utter another word. Heyman states that he does not want to come off as disrespectful or rude, and tells Roman that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins will be out of action "for a long, long time." He then says that this opens up a leadership void and that they can fix things and put them back together, as Roman knows deep in his heart that they are far better together than opposing each other. Heyman says Roman will always be his family, because "I love you, my Tribal Chief." He then hands Roman the microphone. Roman says that a few years ago, he would have considered that "wise words from a wiseman," but he does not consider Heyman a wiseman anymore; he considers him a dumbass. Breakker and Bronson hold Heyman back, and Roman warns them that Heyman will do what he did to him in a few years and try to take all the credit, stating that he, not Heyman, created "the Tribal Chief." Roman says he is still Tribal Chief because the fans acknowledge him, and because he was the greatest champion of all time. He says Heyman had a hand in that, but not in keeping the championship, stating that The Bloodline ("Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Sami Zayn, Solo Sikoa) made that all happen. Roman admits that he lost the title, then states that Heyman claimed that he tucked tail to do whatever when he was really raising "the future Bloodline." Roman claims that Heyman thought The Bloodline was just another wrestling faction when they were really family, which Roman claims is "God's work" as he proclaims that Heyman could never make The Bloodline. He then states that what really bothers him is that Heyman was just a business partner when he made him part of the family, and that Heyman threw it all away for a best friend that he had not talked to in order a decade. Roman then credits Heyman for ruining The Bloodline. Breakker takes the microphone and tells Roman that he is not wanted anymore, as he is "yesterday's news" and only relevant five years ago, and is only taking a spot in his ring. He says that Heyman will not stab him in the back because he holds value in WWE while Roman is worthless, and proclaims that he is "the big dog" now. Breakker then tells Roman to do what he does best and turn around and leave, and Roman says that he did not hear a word Breakker says and to use his microphone. He tosses his mic to Breakker, then hits him with a Superman Punch. Roman then hits Bronson with several punches, but Breakker hits Roman with a Spear. Breakker and Bronson gang up on Roman, and as Bronson goes for a tsunami, Jey Uso shows up and fights the both of them. Roman and Jey then simultaneously Spear Bronson and Breakker at the same time to end the show.

Collision Course - Collision recap for July 19, 2025

Tony Schiavone introduces "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes to the ring to start tonight's show. Dustin wishes that "The American Dream" Dustin Rhodes was with him right now, and states that the words "Keep steppin'," introduced to him by his father, has been the main statement of his career. He says that throughout his 37-year career, he has never told him that he is not good enough, and while he has experienced a lot failure, he keeps getting back up, and for the first time in over 30 years, he is the face of TNT. Dustin says that he plans to give his damnedest as a fighting champion, then says "Mom and Dad...I kept steppin' just for you." Suddenly Don Callis and "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher show up and head to the ring, and Fletcher states that Dustin's story is touching, yet he finds it "a gigantic load of crap." He says that tonight's celebration should be his, and after congratulating Dustin for "weaseling his way into" a match that should have been one-on-one, he states he has signed his own death certificate, and that he will not rest until he takes everything from him. Dustin admits that he fell short against some great opponents for the TNT title, then states that all Fletcher does week in and week out is complain and make excuses. He says that he worked three times in twenty-four hours while Fletcher worked only once, and that he pulled it off and Fletcher did not. Don Callis steps in, saying that Dustin is a great wrestler and an even better man after everything that he has overcome and that Dusty is a legend, but of all the demons Dustin has slain, the one high he keeps chasing is championship gold. He knows that Dustin is on top of the world, but wants to know what will happen when Fletcher takes it from him, and says he will hold a place in his family for him. When Callis says that a spot in his family is better than being part of his own dysfunctional family, Dustin grabs him. Fletcher attacks Dustin, but Dustin fires back and sends him and Callis running.
