He’s joined at ringside by Sudu Shah and Byron Saxton. Barrett says Vic Joseph has the night off as he is stuck in Immigration, but it appears he is on his honeymoon as he and McKenzie Mitchell were just married.

– We go right to the ring as NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly come out – Elton Prince and Kit Wilson. This is their State of the Commonwealth Address. They are wearing powdered wigs as they step up to the podium and bang their gavels.

Prince and Wilson go on about how handsome they are and how they are ruling over NXT. Fans heckle them but they respond by calling for order, beating their gavels. They go on about how they’ve already beaten everyone in NXT. Fans boo. They take shots at Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen, Edris Enofe and Malik Blade, The Creed Brothers, and then The Dyad. They have no choice. It’s come to this… order, order! They decree that our two-time champions should be awarded the titles forever because there are no challengers. Fans boo. They go on until the music interrupts and out comes SmackDown’s Butch and Ridge Holland of The Brawling Brutes.

Fans pop for Holland and Butch, then chant “BruiserWeight!” for the former Pete Dunne. Holland brings up Pretty Deadly talking tough to Sheamus on Twitter, and said they came to NXT to find out how tough they really are face-to-face. Butch asks if there’s any objection to kicking their heads in. Pretty Deadly claim they were hacked, by Kevin Owens, Kevin Patrick, no, Kevin Owens.

– Kelly Kincaid is backstage with Wes Lee. He says what he did to Carmelo Hayes was not a message, it was a receipt. He goes on about how Hayes tried to smash his skull and end his career. Lee is going all out for the North American Title at Halloween Havoc but he’d be lying if he said he didn’t just want to get his hands on Hayes because… Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo interrupts. He said all his friends are gone, and Lee is ruthless. He indicates Tony D’Angelo is suffering from a PCL injury after last week’s qualifier with Lee. Lee says he didn’t want to win the match that way. Stacks threatens Lee and accuses him of hurting Tony D on purpose. Stacks says Lee’s actions will have consequences. Stacks walks off.

Back from the break and we get a video on Chance and Carter. This includes the two sitting down backstage, talking about how different they are while still belonging together, and their journeys to where they are now.

– After the match, Stark and Lyons celebrate as the music hits. We see Chance and Carter looking on from backstage. Lyons and Stark hit the corners to pose now.

– We get a video from Ilja Dragunov to promote the Halloween Havoc main event. He says he has never feared pain, pain makes you feel alive but agony is a different kind of feeling. When he hurt his ankle it was much more than the searing pain of a snapped ligament, the agony he felt when he had to vacate his title… a title taken away not by an opponent but by circumstance. It was his privilege to shoulder the weight of an entire brand and the biggest challenge was sitting and watching NXT UK breathe its last breath. He watched in frustration from home as worlds collided, titles were unified, knowing it should’ve been him in the ring with Unified NXT Champion Bron Breakker. He says opportunities like that only happen once in a lifetime. He can’t change the past but he can change the future. He says Bron is a great champion but he’s a man, and at Halloween Havoc, he’s stepping in the ring with a machine. He says JD McDonagh likes to take credit for his injury and his body bears the scars of their heated battles, but JD knows in his heart that Ilja has suffered to be victorious… he leaves every ounce of himself in the ring, including days, weeks, months of his career, which is something JD likes to talk about but doesn’t possess. Ilja says at Halloween Havoc he will suffer, he will endure a great deal of pain but it will be worth it because he will once again become champion as the world says in unison… Long Live The Czar!

– We see Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez walking backstage. Back to commercial.

– Back from the break and Grayson Waller is in the ring for another must see episode of The Grayson Waller Effect. Waller talks about how good looking he is and how everyone is watching, including Apollo Crews. He has them put up a picture-in-picture camera on him.

Waller gets right to the show and introduces his first guest, who he calls the Tony Hawk of NXT. The music hits and out comes Cora Jade with her kendo stick. Waller then introduces Jade’s Halloween Havoc opponent and says she’s also getting the Grayson Waller rub tonight. The music hits and out comes Roxanne Perez. Waller apologizes for not having a booster seat for Perez. Waller is seated at the table between Jade and Perez.

Jade asks Perez how many people she had to cry to just to get this match. Perez says she will kick Jade’s ass. They have some words and Waller interrupts because this is his show. Perez says she feels nothing because she is going into this match with no emotions, unlike Heatwave. Jade taunts her for being emotional. Perez recalls how they wanted to grow in this business together and be what the Four Horsewomen were to them, but the moment she got a little bigger than Jade, Jade turned on her. Perez says she will leave Jade behind at Halloween Havoc. Perez says everyone will find out that Jade was a whole lot of internet hype and not a lot of talent. Jade says Perez just wasn’t good enough to be a part of The Generation of Jade. Perez says now the true Jade is out after she spent a year of the nice girl act when no one was buying it, and the second Jade realized no one was buying it, she blamed Perez and the fans. She says Jade and her Generation of Jade are full of… Waller interrupts and says we don’t use that kind of language around here.

Waller says this is the second time they have interrupted him. He has two big scoops – in two weeks they will play Pick Your Poison, and get to pick each other’s opponents and the whole WWE roster is eligible. Waller suggests Omos vs. Perez. They both have people in mind they want to pick. Waller yells at them for interrupting again. He then reveals that their Halloween Havoc match is a Spin The Wheel, Make The Deal match. We see the wheel on display. Waller wants to spin it right now and if it lands on Spinner’s Choice, he gets to pick their stipulation. Waller says they both suck. He tells security to go keep an eye on the girls while he walks over to spin the wheel. A hooded druid is next to the wheel and Waller taunts him, then says he knew it wasn’t Apollo.

The wheel lands on Weapons Wild Match. The camera cuts back to the ring to Perez blocking a kendo stick shot from Jade. Security hits the ring to keep them apart now. Waller goes back in the ring an starts taking selfies. Apollo is dressed as one of the security guards. He pulls Waller out of the ring, then under the ring. Jade and Perez keep trying to brawl but security is keeping them apart. Waller crawls from under the ring now but he’s bleeding from both eyes, and his clothes are torn. Crews also crawls from under the ring, and now he’s stalking Waller, taunting him while Waller tries to scramble away.

– We see what’s left of The Diamond Mine backstage. Julius Creed hugs Ivy Nile before heading out to the ring. Back to commercial.

– Back from the break and The Schism is in the back with the red hooded figure who was handing out pins earlier, apparently not impressed with their efforts. Joe Gacy says the person needs to understand they’re not mad, just disappointed. Gacy says the mystery person needs to do better. Gacy walks off while The Dyad snarls at the masked person, then they follow Gacy.

Julius Creed vs. Duke Hudson

We go back to the ring and out comes Julius Creed. Duke Hudson watches on from the ring.

The bell rings and Creed goes for a takedown but Hudson blocks it and beats him down. Hudson unloads in the corner now, keeping Creed down.

Brutus brings Hudson in the ring and continues the beatdown. Julius also tries to pull his brother off. Damon Kemp appears on the platform above the crowd. He congratulates Julius on tonight’s win and says things will be a little different at Halloween Havoc. Brutus calls Kemp to the ring so he can kick his ass. Kemp says Brutus already had his match and now it’s his brother’s turn. Julius says he will be his brother’s keeper and he can’t wait because Kemp’s ego is too big. Kemp agrees and says Julius may be his brother’s keeper but he’s Kemp’s bitch. Kemp says he will give Brutus another match if Julius wins at Halloween Havoc, under one condition. Julius wants to know the stipulation. Kemp says this stipulation isn’t about Julius, it’s about his brother. He has things to accomplish in NXT but he can’t if he’s constantly looking over his shoulder. Kemp says if he wins at Halloween Havoc, Brutus must leave NXT, not Julius. Brutus snaps and says Julius accepts. Julius says he doesn’t like to be cold-hearted but when it calls for it, no one can be colder than him as he has ice in his veins. He says it won’t be good enough to beat, pin or submit Kemp, he has to send Kemp out the same way Kemp sent Roderick Strong out. Julius says it will be an Ambulance Match and Kemp says that sounds good. Kemp tells Julius to tell Strong to make room for him. Julius tells Kemp to get his shit together because he will be waiting. They toss the mics and the music starts back up.

– We get a video of JD McDonagh watching clips of Ilja Dragunov and Unified NXT Champion Bron Breakker. He says they seem wildly different but any educated brain can see that they are exactly the same. He says they both don’t have 2 brain cells to rub together, they use their bodies. He says at Halloween Havoc they will try to see who is the toughest and who can take the most pain, but his plan is to let them tear each other apart like animals. The winner will not be the strongest or the most aggressive, it will be the smartest. JD says you can call him what you want – vulture, jackal, or hyena, but at the end of the night, you will call him the new NXT Champion.

– Hank Walker is backstage with the rest of NXT security. They hype him up for tonight’s match, his first as a contracted NXT talent. He promises he won’t let them down and mentions taking out Xyon Quinn. Quincy Elliott walks up and tells Walker to be careful with Quinn. As much as Quincy likes Quinn’s tribal tattoos, he kind of pissed Quinn off last week. Walker asks who could be mad at Quincy? Walker says he appreciates the heads up, and he’s going to get ready. NXT security chants for Walker while Quincy dances around. Back to commercial.

– We get a video package from Axiom to preview his Best Of 3 Series finale with Nathan Frazer next week. He says this isn’t on the pages, this series is live action and intense, with things in the ring we haven’t seen before. He says the first two matches were so close and could’ve gone either way, and he expects the finale will be even closer but the cool thing about this trilogy is that instead of reading about it on the pages, he gets to write the final chapter.

Xyon Quinn vs. Hank Walker

We go back to the ring and Xyon Quinn is wrapping up his entrance. Out next comes NXT security guard Hank Walker, for what is billed as his first match as a contracted talent.

Gacy welcomes the person to The Schism’s tree. The Schism does a group hug and then walks off as Grimes lays in pain.

– Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen approach The Brawling Brutes backstage, but they’re only here to wish them good luck against Pretty Deadly. They also want the first title shot. Edris Enofe and Malik Blade enter with similar sentiments. The three teams argue until Butch slams a chair against the wall. Ridge Holland says if Briggs and Jensen want a shot, they must bring the same intensity they brought to Gallus last week, and Enofe and Blade need to get serious. Holland and Butch walk off as they have banger, after banger, after banger to get to. The remaining two teams argue.

Javier Bernal interrupts and introduces himself as a future NXT Champion. He taunts Bron for getting himself in a Triple Threat title match, the same kind of match he lost the title in before.
