NXT Highlights

  • Cruz Montana arrested: After Lennox taunted him about his family, Montana speared him through the barricade and continued the attack on the exposed concrete. Cutler James tried to protect Lennox as Montana brought down the steel steps. Montana also struck a security guard before being restrained and arrested.
  • Kelani Jordan attacks Kendal Grey: Wren Sinclair called Jordan out to sign their Halloween Havoc contract. Jordan instead dragged an already beaten Grey onto the stage, leaving Sinclair to check on her friend. The contract went unsigned.
  • Grayson Waller and Tony D’Angelo get personal: The two argued over their history in NXT, with Waller saying he resented how quickly D’Angelo had been handed opportunities. D’Angelo accused Waller of still hiding behind one-liners and memes ahead of their NXT Championship match at Halloween Havoc.
  • Izzi Dame turns down a title shot: ZARIA offered Dame a Women’s North American Championship match at Halloween Havoc after weeks of Dame digging into her past. Dame accepted the match but said ZARIA didn’t need to put the title on the line.
  • Zilla Fatu wants to spin the wheel: Fatu attacked BirthRight after their Dusty Cup loss and dropped Charlie Dempsey with a Samoan drop. Both asked Robert Stone for a match against the other, with Fatu requesting the Halloween Havoc wheel decide the stipulation.
  • Myles Borne attacks Tavion Heights: Borne interrupted Heights’ promo with an attack from behind. Their fight continued into the parking lot, where security pulled them apart.
  • NARAKU threatens Shiloh Hill: NARAKU warned that Hill’s preparations for his mist wouldn’t protect him from the black mist when they meet at Halloween Havoc.
