Nickolye's WWE NXT recap for November 30, 2021 at 8 PM ET! War Games is right around the corner, this Sunday to be exact. Tonight, both the men and women will compete in their respective ladder matches to determine which team will have the  advantage going into the big match. Who will compete in the ladder matches? Which team will gain the one-man and one-woman advantage? NXT has a makeover in 2.0 fashion. Hit F5 or refresh as often as you like for the latest updates!

Right before the advantage ladder match kicks off, all eight women involved in War Games get in a big brawl on the entranceway! Dakota Kai and Kay Lee Ray make their way towards the ring since they will be the ones competing.

* War Games Advantage Ladder Match: Dakota Kai vs. Kay Lee Ray

The bell dings when both women enter the ring and KLR superkicks Dakota at the same time. They battle over a ladder, Dakota sends her into the steel steps face-first, goes for a ladder, but then KLR sends her into the steps. As KLR looks up at the briefcase they need to go for, Dakota pulls the ladder out the ring, so KLR hits a suicide dive and suplexes Kai onto the ladder! Back in the ring, they take turns climbing the ladder and stopping each other, Dakota whips her into the standing ladder, Irish whip to the corner, hits the running facewash, and chokes her with her boot in another corner. KLR comes back with a gourdbuster, goes up top, Dakota cuts her off with a bicycle kick, then hits the double stomp on the apron before our first commercial break!

We go picture-in-picture for this match as both try to recover on the floor. Dakota gets back in the ring to climb the ladder, KLR pulls at her leg, Dakota gets annoyed that she's stopping her, then applies a heel hook. Dakota even wraps her leg around the bottom rope in the heel hook to further the pain.

When we come back full-screen Dakota still has the heel hook in the ropes and KLR falls out the ring. KLR hits the KLR Bomb onto the announce table, and we see Toxic Attraction looking on backstage. KLR hobbles up the ladder, Dakota climbs the other side, they trade punches, Dakota slams her head on the top of the ladder, KLR falls, Dakota gets her hand on the briefcase, KLR tries to stop her but falls, and INSTEAD of getting the briefcase Kai talks to herself and dives onto KLR with a double foot stomp! Dakota finally climbs back up, but Kay Lee Ray traps her in the rungs and slams her backwards into it in the tree of woe, superkicks her, then climbs up to unhook the briefcase! WINNER: KAY LEE RAY!

Io Shirai, Raquel Gonzalez, Zoey Stark and Cora Jade ar all ecited backstage for KLR's win, while Toxic Attraction are disappointed in Kai's loss. After being insulted and embarrassed last week by Cameron Grimes, Andre Chase has challenged Grimes to a match for this week's NXT. Breaktime.

The Grizzled Young Veterans are sneaking into a locker. Ikemen Jiro shows up asking loudly what they are doing, and they keep shushing him. Kushida shows up and the shushing is louder then the talking. Brooks & Jensen show up, GYV scatter, and all four are left confused.

* Andre Chase vs. Cameron Grimes

Grimes is all over the place throwing Chase off, and tells him to kiss his grits. Chase gets in a cheap shot with Grimes's hair, hits a neckbreaker, and covers for a 2-count. Chase gets cheers from his student section in the crowd as he stomps on him, but Grimes comes back with a hurricanrana and a running dropkick in the corner. Grimes hits Cave-In and gets the 3-count. WINNER: CAMERON GRIMES!

Duke Hudson shows up on the balcont and taunts Grimes with what he would look like without a full head of hair. We get several images on the big screen as Hudson narrates through the photos mocking him. Grimes has heard enough, throws Chase back into the ring, grabs an electric razor from under the ring, but one of Chase's students saves him. Grimes declares he will shave Hudson bald at War Games.

We see Wade Barrett wearing a Toxic Attraction t-shirt, and they reveal that Johnny Gargano will compete in the advantage ladder match. We will find out who his opponent will be next.

We get a video package for a new NXT superstar named Edris Enofé. He mentions he came from Inglewood, California and was a member of the military. Edris wants to prove his doubters wrong, wants to show the epitome of excellence, and he debuts tonight.

Alicia Taylor is in the ring with Team 2.0 to tell them that Johnny Gargano will compete in the ladder match tonight, and asks them how they feel about War Games. First to speak is the NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes and he boasts his credentials. Grayson Waller speaks up and will live by his own Grayson Waller Effect. Bron Breakker gets on the mic next and he's full of energy as he speaks, then mentions that after War Games he's going after Tommaso Ciampa's NXT Championship. Tony D'Angelo mentions the men of NXT paved the road in the brand, but that road is full of potholes and they will fill those potholes with their heads. Bron Breakker is named as the winner of the poll to face Gargano later. Gargano comes out and lays it out for them that they laid the groundwork for 2.0 guys to come in. Gargano calls Breakker the "Big Bad Booty Nephew" and dares him to leave the guys in the back. Breakker tells him that his guys will stay in the back so it can be 1-on-1 in the ladder match tonight.

Kyle O'Reilly and Von Wagner are warming up for their match next. Legado Del Fantasma are ready to prove that they will be the #1 contenders for the NXT Tag Team Titles. Santos Escobar and Elektra Lopez offer some words for their team, and that match will be next.

We get more into the adventures of MSK on their journey. The GPS calls Nash Carter a dipshit for making the wrong turn, and tells them they arrived and "it's about damn time after five weeks." Wes Lee is ready to fight the GPS voice but they have to go and find the shaman to help them. The door opens with a big bright glow, and the shaman is standing there. Guess we have to wait another week for the reveal.
