[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] New Year's Day!
[narrator] And now WWE presents…
… NXT "Halloween Havoc."
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] On Halloween, the spookiest two-night event
comes to an end with three championship matches.
[announcer] This is "Halloween Havoc."
[announcer] And we're kicking things off with a team…
…coming in with a lot of momentum.
[crowd cheering] [wrestler mouthing]
[bell chimes]
[announcer] The following is a tables, ladders and scares match!
[announcer] Introducing first, accompanied by IV9…
…Julius, the Creed Brother.
[male announcer] Booker not at 100% after a grueling match on raw,
we'll talk about that more in a moment,
but they're not happy with their opponents tonight,
and rightfully so.
[Booker] Yes, indeed! Hell of a night,
let's just say, a hell of a night!
Oh, my days! Night… raw! Oh yes!
[announcer] And here tonight, it is tables, ladders and scares.
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Look, look! There's no doubt…
…where the NXT universe's behind tonight.
[music playing]
[announcer] And their opponents, that teamed up,
Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo.
[announcer] Carrillo did not like the Creeds
mentioning their family last week,
through their ancestors,
more today than ever before, now guided by their… punch!
Then here come the Creeds.
[Booker] Here we go, baby.
You got two teams that wore the exact same thing,
that could be great.
[Vic] We'll talk about what you mentioned,
it was answering the Open Challenge last night from the Alpha Academy.
The Creeds still running high up
with their shocking wind,
24 hours ago on raw.
[Booker] … once I said,
yeah, lifting is a generational death thing
Once they figured it out they can break all records man.
[crowd cheering] Swing or table!
[announcer] Oh, the Creed brothers right now are trying to step up the cousins.
These tables, ladders and scares match
only way to win by pinball inside the square circle…
… and whoa!
[Booker] Oh! Only man, only!
[announcer] Wow, right off rick!
[crowd cheering] Holy shit, holy shit,
holy shit, holy shit!
[announcer] Julius into the cover, and uh… near fall.
And back to the action.
It didn't take long for the tables to come into play.
And look at, the Creeds,
they feel cheated by Carrillo and Garza.
[Booker] …and they should be
a chance to take down…
-[Booker] … oh! -[announcer] OH!
[Booker] Oh yes! Oh yes! -[announcer] Julius just got taken out,
and from behind, Carrillo.
Back, swing and miss.
Connect with the face.
And the Creeds eliminated the cousins.
The ref didn't see it in the Bada Bing, Bada Boom, Battle Royal,
allowed Creed to get back into the ring,
eliminate the Ohio brothers,
and it took away a possible Championship opportunity from the Creed.
[Booker] The adrenaline from last night.
On Raw. A table. The Creed.
All that…
…all that crashed it down here tonight,
because of Angel and Humberto… oh yes!
[Booker] We are cruising!
[announcer] Oh! Solid steel, now the chairs coming into play.
[announcer] And Angel and Ham--, Humber--, Hambert--
-[Booker] Humberto!
[Vic] have had this different mindset…
…for the last few months.
They're done being materialistic and,
-they bring the pain. -[crowd cheering] Creed!
[crowd cheering] Creed! Creed! Creed!
[Booker] …this time is just ten times double.
And step on some toes and keep on walking.
[cousins] Oh!
[Vic] Wanna remind everyone
we have limited commercial breaks.
You won't miss a second of the in-ring action
here tonight on "Halloween Havoc."
And you won't want to miss a second,
because… again!
Innovative, painful offense from the Creeds.
[Booker] Taking it to the extreme, man.
I'm loving it!
Tables, ladders and scares.
Oh, and pain! Well look at us!
[Vic] I've been stuttering over my words
because we're only a few minutes into this match up.
There's been tables,
there's been chairs,
there's been ladders.
Ivy looking like the Terminator out here,
and we have three championship matches here tonight.
[Booker] Oh yes! You're rearranging the furniture, man!
[announcer] Do you hear the NXT universe?
[crowd cheering] Table! Table! Table!
[Vic] I'd be like the Terminator
after the feat of strength last night.
Hoisting Otis up, the Julius,
he's like a living, breathing machine.
[Booker] Wait, they do that,
can do it again, man.
They about to take-- oh!
[Booker] Oh!
[Vic] Brutus wiped out
and look Julius doesn't realize
that his brother is no longer on his feet.
Garza rearranging the furniture.
[Booker] They tag team, work by Angel and Humberto.
[Vic] He doesn't realize
doesn't have the numbers advantage.
[announcer] Garza!
[announcer] Oh! If he didn't realize it, he certainly does now.
[announcer] And things looking bleak for Julius.
[crowd shouting]
[Vic] House is not even prepared for a TOS--
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
-[Booker] Oh… my god! -[announcer] Oh my god!
[crowd cheering]
[Booker] Oh man!
[Vic] You saw the evil intentions
flooding in the eyes of Carillo and Garza.
[Vic] Brutus trying to get back.
[Booker] That was naughty, Vic.
[Vic] Wait a minute, again!
[Vic] What's on the mind of Garza?
[Vic] Again!
[unintelligible]
Don't go a sec--
don't miss a second of the in-ring action.
[crowd cheering] Holy shit, holy shit,
holy shit!
[Vic] Some members of the NXT haven't even sat down yet.
[Vic] …have been beating the hound,
and the Creed brothers,
and really, this is when it all started.
[Vic] Bang! Crashing down.
But more importantly,
all four of these men wearing--
Look at the back!
Look at the back of Julius Creed.
[Booker] Yes, I can see…
[Booker] …just won a massive spank, man.
These type of matches is all about who's pain-gain victor.
-[Vic] Wounds been wore… -[Booker] Yes!
[Vic] …by all four members.
[Vic] And Carrillo now… oh!
[Vic] [unintelligible]
[Booker] Oh! Wow.
[crowd cheering] NXT! NXT! NXT!
[Vic] Take another look. Garza heads up.
[Vic] How does one prepare for this atmosphere?
[Booker] Always preparation is the only way.
This? This is not a match
that you could really prepare for, Vic,
it's about heart, determination,
real test to go forward and do all of that.
[crowd cheering] This is awesome!
This is awesome!
[Vic] And it's the opening match,
of night two of "Halloween Havoc."
Still to come, Bron Breakker taking on Mr. Stone.
I wanna focus on this match for a moment--
…return to the Creeds,
[Vic] hasn't sat…oh!
[Vic] …well with their opponents.
[Booker] No, let me tell you something
Angel and Humberto need to find focuses,
you know maybe the chest tattoo,
thinking about their dead father
Oh yes!
Thinking about winning!
[Vic] Into the cover to win is Garza.
Julius just breaking up the count again.
Tables, ladders and scares only way to win,
pinfall inside the ring,
pin for Garza right here,
pinpoint precision.
[Vic] Bang! [crowd] Oh!
[Vic] Back to live,
Julius just threw that right hook.
The Creeds had to scratch,
they had to crawl to get their jobs back.
And how would you feel in the…
…Bada Bing, Bada Boom, Battle Royal?
…goes up and goes over…
[Vic] Power's off. Julius is thrown!
He cracked the ladder!
[Booker] Whoa!
[Vic] Cover!
Somehow Julius is able to kick out Garza,
cut out Brutus from getting back in the ring.
But how, how, how does Julius kick up?
Maybe he's a machine,
maybe he's a real Terminator.
[crowd cheering]
[Booker] The anger of Julius.
I mean the pain,
the agony he must be going through
[Booker] …major, major shots! [crowd] NXT! NXT! NXT!
[crowd] NXT! NXT!
[Vic, unintelligible]
Booker, how big is tonight?
Night two of "Halloween Havoc."
[Booker] This is a vibe, right Vic?
There's no time on the ladder.
And that's how much these four guys worn it.
If you got it, worn it babe.
[Vic] Understand where they are coming from.
Look, it might get them glory
…tap down the clock back,
power, heat ring act.
If they win the Creeds tonight.
[Booker] Look, I totally understand where they are coming from--
Oh, yes! Oh, yes!
[Vic] I feel bad.
He better not move.
[Brutus] Yeah! [crowd cheering]
[Vic] Human demolition derby.
That was wise by the cousins.
[Vic] Brutus is taking full advantage.
[Vic] Oh, no!
[Booker] One thing for them is anything goes.
There's no [unintelligible], anything goes.
[Vic] It's tables,
it's ladders,
it's scares,
at "Halloween Havoc",
where three championships will be defended.
And right now, Garza and Carrillo taking advantage.
Until Julius wipes them out!
[crowd cheering]
[Booker] …jump of it.
…of this young man,
Julius Creed, as well as Brutus,
[Vic] Another table!
[Booker] Do it all!
[Vic] Book, what's your over on tables this match?
[Booker] I didn't think much.
Maybe gonna come up,
but guess what? Guess what!
I'm lovin' it!
[Vic] Look at the bruises on the back of Julius Creed.
Look at the welts forming,
on the bodies of the Creed brothers.
[Booker] No quitting,
the great Creed,
no quitting for these guys. I love it!
[Vic] The adrenaline from that victory last night,
still pumping through the Creed brothers' veins here tonight.
[Booker] Come on, to beat the Alpha Academy,
Didn't think happen,
but they went out there and proved me, proved me wrong.
And I'm lovin' it, man.
[Vic] Now, what is happening tonight?
The Creeds and Julius back in the outside.
This has been as physical, Booker, as you thought it would be.
You said it earlier to me today,
that they're going to leave it all hang out
on "Halloween Havoc."
[Booker] I didn't take they
gonna leave [unintelligible]
and who hasn't, we'll talk about that…
[Vic] We saw this.
[Booker] …but we're here now.
[Vic] Saw this last night,
happened at Alpha Academy.
Garza trying to run a little bit of interference.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Garza teetering.
And look at Julius falling, and Humberto
trying to get off the shoulders of Julius Creed.
[crowd] Creed! Creed! Creed!
[Booker] Oh! Oh, no!
[Vic] Crash and burn…
…for Garza!
Julius…
…rising…
[Vic] …with Carrillo.
[Vic] Brutus!
[Vic] Woah!
[crowd] One, two, three!
[bell rings]
[announcer] Here are your winners,
the Creed Brothers!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Absolutely…
…unreal.
[Booker] It was amazing. It was amazing.
[Brutus] C'mon!
[Vic] It's not often a tag-team match,
leaves Booker T. speechless.
But these four, as Booker said,
would leave it all in the ring.
Julius, high risk.
Oh reward, you talk about high risk?
A super, Brutus ball
through not one, but two tables.
Take a look, it was so nice,
check it out twice to see it again.
To see it live was unreal
for the NXT universe.
The brothers Creed leave the cousins
beaten, battered and scarred at "Halloween Havoc."
[crowd cheering]
[Scarlet] Shotzi,
I sense the spirits are unsettled tonight.
[Shotzi] Is there a ghost host here
to guide us foolish mortals
as we lead the monsters of NXT
into another night of Halloween Havoc?
[Isla] You're right.
There has been a disturbance
in the other realm that requires your…
…immediate attention.
[Alba] Best not keep them waitin'.
Things could get… a lot worse.
[Isla] And you two,
you two have had your hands
full of the reins of all this terror.
Let us take over.
[Shotzi] You got this?
[Alba] We got this.
[laughter]
[Isla] Alba, it is Halloween night
and we are in control.
[Alba] Let's fill this night
with chaos, mischief and havoc
on all Hallow's Eve.
[Isla] Oh! We are going to have so much fun.
[laughter]
[Tiffany] My match is next.
[McKenzie] Just wanted your reaction.
Everyone thinking Fallon Henley did a spot on Tiffany.
I mean, come on the impersonation was pretty good.
[Tiffany] Uh! That's it!
I'm done!
[McKenzie] Tiffany goes one on one with--
I mean, Fallon Henley, next.
[breaths out]
[Joe] I've made mistakes.
I've done a lot of unspeakable things.
I've enjoyed watching people suffer
and I've seen horrors.
I like it.
I like it because I understand it.
I had to go through my own pain and suffering
just to get me where I am today,
and I'm not justifying my actions.
I'm just telling you.
I mean, I'm only human, right?
I've made mistakes just like anybody else.
Nobody's perfect.
But still,
still,
peers, friends, strangers
all stabbed me with their judgmental eyes day after day.
I mean, is it me?
Am I the problem?
I'm not asking for forgiveness.
I know there's a darkness inside of me
built because of my past.
Once upon a time, I was tethered to society,
binded by the people around me.
But now, now,
now there's no strings on me.
And maybe you're the kind of person
that believes in fairy tales
but then again,
maybe…
…you're not.
[Vic] That was creepy.
But that is our NXT champion
preparing for his second title defense,
focused on [unintelligible] page three,
in our main event of "Halloween Havoc."
[announcer] One, two, three, again!
[music]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall. That's--
[Vic] Bo-Booker! [Booker] Oh, hey, whoa!
[Vic] …look at these two.
[Vic] The bell hasn't rung and look--
[Vic] Tiffany Stratton said she was done a second ago,
she certainly doesn't like
when someone runs her mouth.
[Vic] What?
[Booker] You act slick,
you big to take one.
That's what my mamma said.
[Vic] Wait, wait, wait… oh!
They going knee first,
and the game referee
[Vic] try restore some order.
[Booker] Want to fight?
[Vic] Who you talking to?
[Fallon screams]
[Booker] Talking about this.
She wanted this.
[Vic] Hold on.
I thought Tiffany would have been flattered
Henley was impersonating her.
[Booker] But guess what?
[Booker] Guess!
[Vic] What do you mean?
[Booker] Guess what!
Fallon Henley
[Booker] just went to the tippy tippy top.
[Vic] That was cute.
[Vic] That was cute. Moving on,
Noam Dar is not pleased right now,
because there's an impostor caring around the heritage cup.
That of course being Akira Tozawa.
Well, if--
what are you hitting me?
If metaphor wants to come back,
they have to find it.
[eerie music]
[people] Who's that?
[woman] Don't do that!
[indistinct chatter]
[Lash] Oh!
See the gate is locked.
[Lash] That's just fine, we gotta go home. [Noam] What you mean?
[Lash] Let's go, let's go! [Noam] We can't go home!
[Noam] We need to do that.
Tis ours or nah?
We just want the cup.
We need to get it back.
Let's be brave.
And wish we could do this.
[Oro] Okay, okay, but…
…how the hell do you want to get in, huh?
How?
[Lash] Exactly.
[Jakara] Oh hell nah!
They get only messed up.
[Oro] Let's go, let's go, ey!
[Noam] It's an automatic gate. [Oro] Let's go.
[Noam] It's saying welcome. Come on in.
[indistinct chatter]
[woman] Stop! There's trees stumps.
[screaming]
[Lash] Let's go, let's go, let's go!
[evil laughter]
[Oro] I don't wanna be here.
I cannot stand Halloween!
[Jakara] You can't stand Halloween?
You're dressed as Shaggy.
[Noam] Hey, enough of this!
The cup is in there. Let's go.
That's why we're here, come on.
[eerie music]
[Lash] Hold up!
You know what?
I bet Tozawa's not even here.
He's probably with Alpha Academy.
Uh… thank you!
[indistinct voice speaking]
[Noam] What do you see? Where are they coming?
[Jakara] I don't know, but it can't be good.
[Noam] Jakara,
do you speak Japanese?
[Jakara] I don't know.
It can't be good.
[Noam] Tozawa!
I want my cup back!
[thundering]
[Oro] No, no, no.
[unintelligible]
[Noam] Let's go.
[Oro] No, no! Don't go in there! Don't go!
[Lash] Oh!
[Oro] Hey, hey, hey!
This the plan,
we all stick together,
and we don't split up, okay?
[Noam] You're my main man, man!
We stay Meta Four strong.
We have each other's back
and we get the cup back,
and we stay…
…together.
[screaming]
[evil laughter]
[Vic] Don't know if they can solve the case.
No pressure!
But after weeks of backstage fights,
these two go one on one,
Nathan Frazer looking to derail "Dirty" Dom,
to capture the North American title.
The showdown is next on "Halloween Havoc."
[music]
[bell ringing]
[announcer] Scheduled for one fall
is for the NXT North American championship.
Introducing first the challenger
Nathan Frazer.
[Vic] Champion and challenger.
I mean they both recently got into altercations,
at Monday Night RAW here on NXT.
The one thing I'll note to you,
Nathan Frazer didn't back down.
[Booker] He shouldn't.
I mean, he's a man.
[Booker] A man shouldn't back down, Vic.
[Vic] When you're looking at Bálor and Damian Priest
and Dirty Dom and Rhea Ripley and JD McDonald…
[Booker] You should go there.
[Vic] But I've beaten your point.
[Vic] All I be doing.
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] And his opponent,
accompanied by our Women's World Champion,
Rhea Ripley!
Representing the Judgment Day,
he is the NXT North American Champion,
"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio!
[crowd booing]
[Vic] Take a look at these two,
Rhea Ripley declared
that her and Dom are the first couple of Australia,
as they get set for the Elimination Chamber in Perth.
[Booker] Yeah, what a hell of a representative WWE,
we'll be sending to Perth, oh yeah!
You gotta love it, man.
[Vic] I look at "Dirty" Dom wearing the stripes.
[Booker] Come on!
[Booker] Ever done time?
[Booker] Have you ever been in the yard?
[Vic] I've been in the backyard.
[Booker] Look at the tattoos.
Look at the tattoos. He's got a fresh one on.
[Booker] Cell blockade.
[Vic] Only person Dom likes
to be handcuffed by is probably mommy
as he gets set for this match up.
The first of three Championship matches.
Dom certainly knows how to get himself into trouble,
but there's mommy always around to dig him out.
[Booker] What you talking about?
What is she to do?
Just let him get into trouble and not motivate him?
[Vic] That's what mommies do.
Ask your mother.
[Vic] To be honest,
has Nathan Frazer lied about Dominik Mysterio?
[Booker] You know…
…I would-- I wouldn't say lied.
You know, maybe not told the whole truth.
[Vic] Come on!
[Booker] Let me tell you, on football there's a flag
can be thrown on every player.
In basketball, it could be a follow on every play.
The rules ought to be bid.
This games is about.
[Vic] Oh!
[Booker] Brave.
[Vic] You need [unintelligible]
To Nathan's point,
Dom can't do anything alone.
The only reason he's champion is due to Judgment Day.
Do I run through the list again?
There's JD McDonagh, there's Damian Priest…
…there's Bálor, obviously mommy.
[Booker] That's a great faction,
one of the greatest
that's gonna go down in the history,
the NWO.
I mean three-- give him that prop!
Yes! Yes! That's what's this about.
And we all know whose, Vic.
They're all winners, they're all champions.
This is about that.
[Vic] Frazer wants to put a dent
[Booker] Oh, there's a hiccup.
[Vic] They have been running unchecked,
in the WWE.
And now Frazer quickening the pace.
Never… slow down!
Pick! Hip toss!
And Frazer falls out with a dropkick.
[Booker] What can I say about impunities?
But that's the way it is sometimes, Vic.
[Vic] The finals of the NXT Breakout Tournament.
One of those two women will earn a championship contract,
here tonight.
And mommy giving some words of advice,
maybe help Dom trying to rethink his game plan.
Here in this moment.
Frazer to his feet
almost betting the champion back into the ring.
[Rhea] No!
[Booker] Yeah!
He's dealing with Mysterio here.
[Vic] How quick is Nathan Frazer.
Come on! He's running around.
[Booker] Slow it down, slow it down.
…and just catches the champion.
[Vic] Is Nathan Frazer about to walk out with the North American title?
[Vic] Dirty Dom [unintelligible]
makes "Halloween Havoc" more memorable
than his father Rey Mysterio did back in 1997
by defending his North American title here tonight.
[Booker] I mean, come on, look at the fury of this young man.
I call him the youngest veteran this business has produced, Vic.
The knowledge, the in-ring prowess.
Oh yes, the insight. He knows it--
[Vic] Oh! [Booker] Whoa, Whoa!
[Vic] Hold on, that was a brain buster or a suplex?
[Booker] Controversy.
[Vic] But landed awkwardly on his shoulder,
and this could be the moment for Nathan Frazer.
Can Frazer put the skeletons of this "Halloween Havoc" past to rest?
Of last year at this event, his greatest downfall.
Believes tonight would be his greatest trial.
[Booker] But today's gonna be a [unintelligible] because
Dominik Mysterio is no joke, is not--
He has plan.
[Vic] He certainly is not. It's been a busy week for Judgment Day.
On RAW, this Saturday at Crown Jewel
streaming on Peacock.
She will defend her title in a fatal five-way.
Señor Money in the Bank, Damian Priest faces Cody Rhodes,
in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
And here tonight,
the path to Saudi Arabia could get bumpy,
if Nathan Frazer can dethrone Dirty Dom.
[Booker] This is a fight, Vic.
All the wrestling and all that went out the window
just a minute ago. Here we go.
[unintelligible]
Dom's on his feet,
throws a clothesline in there,
[Vic] moving quick.
[Vic] Just oh-- another awkward landing.
Into the cover, hook of the leg and…
…another near-fall.
I mean, look how fast Nathan Frazer is.
He could be as fast, if not quicker, than Tyreek Hill.
[Booker] You see that? It's the kick-out,
from Dominik Mysterio.
Who is almost like, you know, a whisper in the air kick-out.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic and Booker] Oh!
[Vic] All this rapid throw first,
and now Mysterio's able to turn things around
for just a moment.
And there's a look of concern on the face of Rhea Ripley.
What's he thinking now?
Oh, oh… might be incoming.
[Booker] Back up!
[Rhea] What are you gonna do?
[Vic] Oh! Stop him on a dime.
And the distraction from Ripley pays off for Dirty Dom.
This is it! This is prove he can't do anything by himself.
[Booker] He didn't do anything.
[Vic] He didn't do anything,
[Vic] Rhea doing it all.
Wait a minute!
[Booker] Woah!
[Vic] This could be the moment Dom is out.
She's beside herself.
He got the champion into the ring.
Only place to win the title.
Pinfall, submission inside the square circle.
Frazer to the top, looking down, looking at-- fly over the…
…Dom is back to his feet.
Oh! Nasty counter, nasty landing
and Dom back in control.
[Booker] And who did that thing?
All on his own and it was beautiful,
just draw Nathan Frazer in
and he dropped the hammer, man.
[Vic] In his last set against Ricochet
Dom was by himself--
Frazier!
To his feet… superplex!
Rolling right through,
continuing to hook down,
push and a turn!
This could be the title. We could have a new champion.
[Vic] Frazer cover!
[Vic] Ah! Dang it!
[Booker] Whoa!
[Vic] This is why "Halloween Havoc",
trending number one on X at this moment.
Can Nathan Frazer dethrone Dirty Dom?
[Vic] Oh, whoa!
Miscommunication.
[Rhea] What you doing?
[Vic] Rhea's plan, right now
From behind!
Frazer rolling up Dom.
Another near fall.
[Booker] Dom's will wait for Frazer
he's bringing it big.
[Booker] Whoa!
[Vic] Dropkick to the back.
Didn't get over it and got enough of it.
As Frazer is set up,
for Dom to dial it up.
Super kick!
Oh! And Frazer couldn't fall into the cover.
[Booker] Still buzz,
still buzz thinking about that super kick from the outside,
I believe.
[crowd cheering] NXT! NXT! NXT!
[Vic] Can Nathan Frazer rise to the occasion,
here tonight at "Halloween Havoc"?
Looking back a Dom…
-[Vic] …no! -[crowd] No!
[Vic] That just shook us.
[Booker] Oh, man!
That's what I'm talking about.
[Vic] He is out.
Dominik on top.
Frazer's not moving!
Frog splash!
[Booker] Dom do the pinpoint. Oh yes!
[Vic] Mysterio retains.
[announcer] Your winner,
and still the NXT North American champion,
[Booker] Vic, stand up.
[announcer] Dominik Mysterio!
[Booker] Stand up, Vic. Stand up.
Stand up, Vic. Stand up.
[Booker] Yes!
[Vic] Nathan Frazer was so close,
able to hit some unique high-impact offense.
And right here it was as close
as Nathan Frazer would get.
Frazer would look to go high-risk one more time,
but Dirty Dom, like a snake in tall grass,
able to slither his way up and, then, fly through the air,
hitting that picture perfect frog squash,
one more time to retain
the NXT North American championship.
Wait a minute!
Booker, that's Wes Lee!
[Booker] Whoa!
Wait a minute.
[crowd] Wes Lee! Wes Lee! Wes Lee!
[Vic] The Kodiak kid has returned!
[crowd] Wes! Wes! Wes! Wes!
[Rhea] What the hell was that?
[Vic] And it appears to have set his sights
on an old foe.
[Rhea mouthing]
[Rhea] You okay?
[Dominik] That's my title.
[Rhea] Give it back, hey!
[Jacy] I hate to admit it, but
you kinda look good with that.
And congratulations.
You finally know what it's like to be a champion.
Look at your title.
You should be happy.
And you should be thanking me.
[Andre] Should I thank you?
[Jacy] Exactly.
I scratch your back and tonight, you scratch my back.
[Andre] I'm happy to be champion
but last week you cheat.
[Andre] That's not--
[Duke] Oh you got one too?
[Thea] What you guys talking?
[Jacy] Nothing, just congratulating the professor
on winning the NXT Tag Team Championship.
[Duke] Do you understand the power of these things?
Haven't paid a meal in a week.
It's unbelievable.
Oh! And when Jacy and Thea win their match tonight,
we will no longer be known as Chase University.
No, no, no.
We will be known as Champ University.
[Andre] I like where this is going.
[Andre] And while you two keep going
by beating Piper and Chelsea
fair and square in the middle of that ring.
[Jacy] You know what Thea?
We need to go get ready.
[Thea] Okay. Bye!
[Andre] Look at-- [Tony] Mr. Chase.
[Tony] There's two kinds of wrong, right?
The wrong we do,
and the wrong that's done to us.
We're going to get even on both.
[Channing] Last it was your way.
Now things are different, huh?
[Andre] Yes sir.
[Duke] Sir?
[Channing] You owe us.
[Duke] Don't worry about it.
You'll get your rematch.
[Tony] Yeah.
That too.
[Andre] Don't worry.
I'll handle it.
[evil laughter]
[Alba] Oh, very naive Thea.
She doesn't realize
that everyone that touches those championships
suffers terrible pain and misfortune.
[Isla] Almost…
…as if the gold itself holds the most…
…frightful curse.
[evil laughter]
[Vic] WWE Women's Tag Team title
on the line later tonight.
But next, Mr. Stone is fighting for Von Wagner
while Bron Breakker is looking for Stone in the hospital
next to his friend.
These two meet in moments at "Halloween Havoc."
[Jakara screams]
[Jakara] A second. Okay, I got this.
Miss Jackson.
I'm about that action. Okay.
Miss Jackson. Who want some, huh?
Yeah. You don't want to mess with me.
[suspense music]
Nasty, nasty… gross.
[Jakara screams]
[evil laughter]
[Jakara screams]
[Oro] Jakara?
Jakara!
[Oro screams]
No, no, no, no.
Not happening, no.
Uh-uh, no, no.
Nothing here can touch me.
Look at this.
Yeah, you think so.
Who is this?
Yeah. [unintelligible]
Nobody can touch me, huh?
Hey Tozawa.
Tozawa?
[Akira] Take him away!
[Lash] [unintelligible]
I can't--
Where's my glasses?
Everybody!
Know what this is?
Just kidding.
No!
Let me think this.
[Lash screams]
[evil laughter]
[rock music]
[Vic] Oh! It appears Meta Four is down to one.
As Mr. Stone
trying to get himself ready because,
this is…
…hard to relive
from two months ago.
It was just feet from us, Booker.
The most sadistic act in NXT history.
It left everyone worried and uh-- scared…
…for Von Wagner in this moment.
And this is what Mr. Stone is fighting for
here tonight.
Not just for a client,
for his best friend.
[dogs barking]
[siren sound]
[rock music]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring,
Bron Breakker!
[Vic] I know your answer.
[Vic] Will Mr. Stone regret--
[Vic] Will Mr. Stone regret
defending the honor of Von Wagner here tonight?
[Booker] This relationship,
personal relationship.
I've never, never had a team
I hear how hard it was.
You are a great man.
Look, look.
I'm not a manager. I'm just an advisor.
He can get too close.
Mr. Stone has gotten entirely too close to his client.
That's just my opinion.
[Vic] Stone trying to psych himself up online.
That can only go so far, though, right?
[Booker] This is a huge task.
This is about to get biblical man.
[Vic] He posted a picture of himself next to Von Wagner
on their first day at the Performance Center.
[Booker] Don't be scared now, son.
Nowhere to run.
Nowhere to hide.
[Vic] The NXT universe can only do so much for you.
Again trending number one on X,
"Halloween Havoc"
from the beginning to where we're at now.
It has been-- can't miss.
And for Mr. Stone, he might only get one shot
[Booker] I'mma say this,
[Booker] he might help him here but
Stone, Stone is a stand up dude.
He's a stand up dude.
[Vic] It's hard to debate
the connection Stone shares with Von,
the organic bond
that has led Stone to this fight.
And the motto is do it for Von.
And now Stone on the run,
trying to do anything he can
to get the upper hand on Bron Breakker.
He just got ran over.
[Booker] It's not hard to try, Vic.
[Booker] Haha, yeah.
[Vic] I'm glad you think this is funny.
Bron's heinous act two months ago traumatized stone,
the fans, Von Wagner's family,
who has been through so much since Von was born.
And he thinks it's a joke.
[Vic] He thinks it's a laughing matter.
[Booker] This is not a joke. This is a lesson.
[Booker] Bron Breakker--
[Booker] Bron Breakker like everybody--
[Vic] No, man!
[Booker] Look I run this here, you just live here.
That's what this is about, man.
[Vic] Who's having fun is Bron.
Last we talked to Carmelo Hayes
who said they were running back after NXT title
in the Main Event.
But look at that twist.
With one arm.
[Bron] …gonna send you there.
[Vic] He's fighting with everything he's got.
How much does he have left?
[Booker] Yeah, I mean…
[Vic] And one minute, to steal it!
Uh!
[Booker] Oh! [Vic] Come on, Mr. Stone,
string something together here.
And Bron just picking up and tossing him.
[Booker] Oh, Vic. Stop cheerleading.
[Vic] I feel bad for the guy.
[Booker] You don't look good.
Just do your job.
You do that very, very well.
[Vic] Some believe Bron also has been wearing
what he did to Von Wagner
like a badge of honor.
[Bron] It's over!
[Vic] A trophy on his shoulder.
[Vic] Hopefully this is the end
[Vic] for Bron Breakker.
[Booker] Whoa yes! [Vic] With just a spear!
[bell rings]
[announcer] Your winner,
Bron Breakker!
[Vic] Well, thankfully,
that was short and sweet.
[Booker] Can I add one thing?
[Vic] Don't add anything. What the hell is this?
[crowd booing]
[Vic] You heard what Bron yelled at Mr. Stone.
He said he was going to put him in the hospital.
[Vic] Come on, official!
[Vic] We need more referees!
[Booker] We really don't need to go here, bud.
[Vic] This isn't right.
Even you know that.
[Booker] No, it's not. It's not right.
[Vic] Can't do this again.
[music]
[Vic] Look!
It's Von Wagner!
He's walking.
[Booker] He's talking.
[Vic] He's here!
[Vic] Von is going right after Bron Breakker!
Bam!
Take it to him, big man!
All the pain, all the trauma.
It's Von.
[unintelligible]
[Booker] Oh! Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
He's getting a little unstable.
[Vic] Well he shouldn't be out of the hospital.
And now looking to--
Looking for alternate receipt.
[Booker] Whoa!
-[Booker] Whoa! -[Vic] You can't blame Von.
[crowd] Get him out! Get him out!
[rock music]
[Vic] There are the eyes of the challenger
who's focused and determined.
Hayes looking to win his gold back here
on the "Halloween Havoc" Main Event,
just like Valkyria did.
[Vic] Now it's time for the biggest match
in Lyra's career.
Can she defeat her idol?
Can she win gold for the first time?
Or would Lynch prove to be the man,
once again.
Main Event time, Women's Title at "Halloween Havoc."
[male voice] As the morgan pinned the mat
and entire country land forward and counted love.
One woman's life changed forever.
Everything that she had hoped and dreamed for
unbelievably came through with the fall of a hand.
[Vic] Lyra did it! She did it!
What a moment!
[male voice] A journey that started back in a small gym in Ireland,
traveled through the European Independent sea
to the immense heights of NXT UK.
To crushing lows of a devastating injury
leaving Lyra unable to capture Championship gold.
Turning last week's moment for the [unintelligible]
even more magical.
[Vic] A moment that will be etched in the history
of this brand
as the Women's Division now soars
with Lyra Valkyria.
[male voice] Only one woman could be the victor.
The nation of Ireland celebrated both of its daughters
long into the night.
Two women that have drove the same path
in a match that made history,
a torch passed
as the championship changed towns.
[Lynch] Said the person that was going to take that from me
had to be the hungriest and the most passionate.
I'm so happy it's you.
I'm so proud of you.
[Lyra] Thank you, champ.
[Lynch] You're the champ. Hold it down
[male voice] Now Lyra Valkyrie faces a whole new world
of carrying herself as a champion
knowing that she doesn't represent a roster or a brand,
but the whole of Ireland.
[TV presenter] And now Ireland is becoming a proper hot bed
with our next guest Lyra Valkyria.
[TV presenter] Congratulations! Well done!
[Lyra] Thank you!
[TV host] Thanks for joining us!
[Lyra] Look at what this is! [TV presenter] Oh! There it is.
[Lyra] Here it is, the NXT Women's Championship,
the finest prize, if you ask me.
[male voice] A destiny was changed in one second,
frozen in time.
[music]
[Lynch] Let everybody at home know.
[male voice] Now we will continue to bear witness to
the glorious ascent of the new NXT Women's champion,
Lyra Valkyria!
[Vic] Well, Valkyria unlocked a lifetime achievement
and the new NXT Women's champion
addresses the NXT universe for the first time
as champion next week live, here on NXT.
And speaking of gold,
can Chase U bring more to campus?
Or the champions retain?
WWE Women's Tag-Team titles are on the line
next at "Halloween Havoc."
[Vic] We'd like to extend a special thank you to New Years Day
for "Vampire" the official theme song of NXT "Halloween Havoc."
The song is available now on Apple Music and Spotify.
[Reggie] You know,
I shouldn't have had faith that y'all was going to understand me.
You actually thought that I was sipping wine all my life,
but that my life was some traveling circus
up and down the street, doing cartwheels.
That's the life I played to fit in just for y'all.
But then I met these men.
And they made me remember who I am and where I come from.
Yeah, I'm Reggie.
But back home in St. Louis,
they all call me Scrypts.
See I've been walked up, shouted.
I watched my uncle die in my bedroom, when I was eleven years old.
But just like Bronco and Lucien.
We all cut from that same cloth.
The streets we grew up on,
brawled and bruised.
You don't know a thing about the culture,
the grain, the struggle.
You just a pair of cookie cutter ass,
people that don't get what we really go through.
They wouldn't last one week on our block.
But then you went and caused OTMs
after [intelligible]
You see, Brutes?
You are who you are in this world.
That's one of two things.
Either you're somebody or you're nobody.
Let's see which one are you,
because OTM
we somebody.
[Booker] Oh, oh, I like it.
[unintelligible]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest for one fall for the WWE Women's
Tag Team Championship!
Introducing first the challenger,
representing Chase University
the team of Thea Hail and Jacy Jayne.
[Vic] Oh Booker, will it be a golden night again
for Chase University?
[Booker] Chance of a lifetime.
Andre Chase.
Don't screw this up.
That's the only thing I got to say about it.
Big moment.
Chance of a lifetime.
Rocky Balboa/Apollo Creed moment.
[Vic] I don't know what you have against Andre Chase.
[Booker] He's a loser.
[Vic] He's a champion.
[woman voice] It's Chelsea.
[rock music]
[announcer] And their opponents,
they are the WWE Women's Tag Team champions
Piper Niven and Chelsea Green.
[Vic] Oh, seriously, the champions never wanted a--
And the challengers wasting no time,
going right after Green and Niven.
[Booker] You know back there, right there
[Vic] What? [Booker] Do you really mean
if it wasn't for Jacy Jayne,
would that be a Tag Team champion?
If it wasn't for Jayce Jayne?
Come on, be honest with ya.
For once, for once Vic, please.
[Vic] Well Mel's wrong and I can say honestly
that this match has officially begun.
Look at Jayne, helping out Thea Hail.
It seems Jayne has given Hail
[Vic] a new sense of self-confidence. [Booker] no, no.
[Booker] Chance of a lifetime. Like I said,
How bout-- look, two cuts in, he's got to--
[Vic] Thea from the high kick from behind.
[Booker] Whoa, Whoa. Thea Hail got to ride at Jayce Jayne.
Go rockstar!
Play them two for me tonight.
[Vic] Look as much as she has done,
the good that Jacy Jayne has done.
She's also set some bad examples for Thea Hail.
[Booker] What are you talking about? Name one.
[Vic] Cutting corners, trying do cheat last week with Andre Chase
[Booker] Vic… [Vic] …capture the NXT Tag Team champion
[Booker] It's like the main event.
Rules ought to be [unintelligible]
not broken [unintelligible].
You're not too far gone to know that.
How many times I have to teach you?
[Vic] Week in and week out.
[Booker] Yes.
[Vic] Unique counter, unique dodge.
And now maybe looking for a diving splash.
[Booker] Look at that.
You know what? I'm thinking, you know what?
I'm going to go ahead and say it right now.
Thea Hail, the rookie of the year.
[Vic] Well, Hail now trying to get back,
turning things around, tryna take to Chelsea Green.
Just wait, what happened.
Well, the champion's out.
The challengers are rolling right now.
…Alex Henry message at the [unintelligible]
[Booker] Like the man's courage, you know it's true.
[Vic] Will we crown new champions?
Don't miss a second of the action,
what you haven't done in two weeks
since you haven't missed any of the action,
any of the in-ring action at "Halloween Havoc."
[Vic] The champions have been in control of the challengers.
In your opinion, how do they complement each other?
Cause here you can see it first hand.
[Booker] …all beautiful day Team Tag like that.
…you know, Shawn Michael did it, that big daddy cool
and I think Chelsea Green needed her piping up
oh yes!
That enforcer.
I love it man.
[Vic] But there's a World Championship
for complaining Green would be champion, never be defeated,
as Thea Hail just got caught
by the most power of Piper Niven.
[unintelligible]
[Booker] …here baby. [Vic] Oh!
[Vic] Shoulderbreaker!
Papa Shawn would be smiling,
on this Halloween.
[Booker] Andre Chase please don't throw that damn towel, yet. I see it.
[Vic] Booker I just had received an update on Fallon Henley,
who was attacked for her match-up,
with Tiffany Straton,
earlier tonight.
A swing it and miss, for Piper Niven.
And the update is that Fallon Henley has been ruled out
by the medical staff for tonight
She is now been listed as day to day.
Is this the moment for Thea Hail
trying to lock in that kimura,
trying to tap Piper Niven,
but Niven gain, as you pointed out,
so strong, with one arm,
…in submission.
[Booker] Right there. [Vic] DDT!
[Booker] What a though day on the cloud.
You may even wanna call it Mount Everest.
We gotta move back.
[Vic] Have you heard the rookie of the year
Thea Hail sharing her first win this year
had her first NXT title match,
went to her first premium live event.
Could her crowning moment be thanks to Jayce Jayne?
She almost had attacked.
[Booker] No, no. Whoa,
whoa!
Quick Miss, quick Miss Thea Hail.
[Vic] Just agreed on that checkered street fight
24 hours ago on RAW.
Maybe not all there tonight,
and that could be the opening that the challengers need.
[Booker] Here comes that rab dog.
[Booker and crowd] Jacy Jayne!
[Booker] Hit me with your base.
Oh yes, man.
[Vic] Ain't looking for a two for one-- oh!
Super kick!
Drop Piper!
[Booker] Whoa!
[Vic] Bang!
[Booker] Oh yes!
[Vic] This could be it.
This could be the moment,
more gold coming to Chase U.
Check it on me, Booker.
How big could this be for chase university?
[Booker] Nah, Vic. So close.
So close.
[Vic] Jayne focusing in.
With that knockout blow, ready to get countered and oh--
Right over [unintelligible] and now
wait for the [unintelligible]
Countered by Jayne.
Back in comes Green.
For a superior spine buster!
One more time can she get to three--
Niven!
Breaking things up.
And look when it comes to Tag Team competition
Jacy Jayne, one of the best to ever do it, on this brand.
[Booker] Yeah, you see, but right there Piper and Chelsea
might be the only champions
the only-- what a hell of a Tag Team they are, man.
[Vic] High impact! Hail wiped out.
Niven just got silenced.
Jayne on here feet, charging in, oops!
Swing and a miss.
Green one step ahead of Jayne.
Both superstars,
same idea.
And again,
double the impact,
all four women down.
[Booker] Whoa!
[crowd] NXT! NXT! NXT!
[Vic] Chase trying to rally the stoop section.
So is Duke Hudson.
[Booker] He's gonna give it to [unintelligible]
Get down Duke.
[Vic] What's Jayne looking?
[Andre] You don't need it, you don't need it.
[Jacy] Give it to me!
[Andre] You got this! [Jayne] What are you doing?
[Vic] The women. Green.
Unprettier checks!
Second time the charm.
Into the cover.
And Green and Niven retain.
[announcer] Here are your winners,
still the WWE Women's Tag Team champions,
Piper Niven and Chelsea Green!
[Vic] Champions are almost as shocked as we are
that they were able to pull this off in this moment.
But this is the turning point.
Both women, same idea.
This moment would leave Andre Chase
tryna hype up his stoop section
and Jacy Jayne, that's what I was talking about,
went to cut corners.
Jayne said she scratched Andre Chase's back
Chase should scratch hers.
In the end, it would not happen.
Because Chelsea Green would hit that unprettier
to retain the Tag Team gold here tonight.
[music]
[Vic] Creepy and cookie.
Mysterio send spooky as the unholy union crafted a spell for the champions.
[McKenze] Lexis King, a--
[Lexix] McKenzie Mitchell.
Welcome to my very first interview.
Hopefully the first of many that we will have together.
[McKenzie] Absolutely. Last week, a very impressive NXT debut.
How pleased are you with the impact so far?
[Lexix] McKenzie, I'm always pleased with my performances.
And I'm very pleased,
that the name Lexis King has evoked quite the buzz around here.
Seems like everybody has an opinion of me.
But don't get me wrong.
I'm used to it.
Just comes with the territory of being a star.
But one thing's for sure,
and it's that this is my life
and I'm going to start doing things my way.
You asked about that impact I've had.
Just wait and see what I do next,
or better yet,
what I have already done.
[McKenzie] What do you mean by that?
Well, McKenzie, you just going to have to have to wait and see
like everybody else.
[McKenzie] Okay. Well thanks so much.
Vic and Kooker, back to you guys.
[Lexis] Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?
We were just building some chemistry.
Stay a while,
have a candy.
[McKenzie] I'm good. Thanks but no thanks.
[Lexis] Do your thing, girl.
[music]
[Vic] What's your opinion of Lexis King? [Booker] I like him.
[Booker] I like Lexis King.
The kid's got a championship name.
Let's see if he can put together a championship portfolio.
Oh yeah.
[Vic] Oh, Booker, we know one thing.
NXT Deadline is back.
And that also means
the Iron Survivor Challenge.
[Booker] Oh man, my favorite time of the year.
[Vic] Speaking of which, if you win it,
you get a championship opportunity.
And speaking of championship opportunities,
who will earn the championship contract
here in the finals of the Women's Breakout Tournament?
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following is the final match of the NXT
Women's Breakout Tournament.
Introducing first
Kelani Jordan.
[Vic] Back when the finals started a month ago.
The first match actually determined over all.
Kelani Jordan was able o beat Izzy Dame,
to advance to the second round
That would bring us to last week.
It would bring us to the semifinals
on night one of "Halloween Havoc."
Where one more time,
Kelani Jordan would show us she's one of a kind
defeating Ariana Grace, punching her ticket to tonight.
The finals and one win away from that championship contract.
Can she get the job done for the third time?
[music]
[announcer] And her opponent, accompanied by Elektra Lopez,
Lola Vice.
[Vic] Lola Vice,
her path to the final started with a victory, three weeks ago.
With that knockout roundhouse kick
over Dani Palmer.
That also would bring us to last week
night one of "Halloween Havoc."
Semifinal action with some beef online.
Vice would settle it in the ring
would punch her ticket to the finals
and tonight the beating to advance the set up.
This showdown.
The winner not only be the Breakout Tournament champion,
but also the guaranteed championship contract.
[Booker] Vic, the question on X is
Are you with #TeamKelani
or #TeamLola?
It's been a buzz on the internet,
all week man.
[Vic] Now you take a look at the entire field
the sky's really the limit for all eight of these superstars.
Take a lot back to the last Breakout Tournament.
Kiana James has won gold.
Stratton and Henley had their own issues,
we saw earlier tonight.
Look at [unintelligible]
plus Stratton, they both would go on to win
the NXT Women's title.
Shoulders down and a near fall
just a few seconds away from Kelani Jordan.
[Booker] There's something about Kelani Jordan, man.
[Booker] I mean she had-- [Vic] Lola's at one more time.
[Vic] Another quick cut.
[Booker] I mean from that background that she had,
that I had to do to actually find it
very quickly.
Look at a move like that.
[Vic] …take down and look for Kelani Jordan.
She had a conversation with her mum,
her aunt today, told me she was extra motivated tonight.
cause her family would be watching
in Michigan.
But that pause of energy, Booker,
you know it can do wonders for a competitor.
[Booker] Yeah, adrenaline can take you away.
But right now, Lola vice,
we talk about somebody with discipline, Vic.
Somebody who traded American Title team
That has trained all over the world.
Not gonna get caught with lies, Vic.
[Vic] Who will be the Breakout champion?
Don't miss a second of the action.
[Vic] Back live. It is the finals
of the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament
here on night two of "Halloween Havoc."
And it is obviously the biggest match
in the careers of both of these two super--
As it's a cradle, shoulders down from moments
and a near fall.
But this was a small turning point
moments ago.
[Booker] Yes, right there!
[Vic] Another cover, another hook of the leg
and another near fall.
It's a huge match for both these superstars.
[Booker] Yeah, I mean in a tournament like this, Vic,
put the word on notice that you could be the next big thing.
So yeah, it's not just big, it's huge, man.
[Vic] We mentioned the Iron Survivor Challenge
earlier tonight.
Roxanne Perez has won both the Breakout Tournament
and the Iron Survivor Challenge.
And we just found out that over the course of the next month…
…will be selecting the qualifying matches
for the Men's and Women's Iron Survivor Challenge.
So you gotta stay tuned to the NXT social media accounts.
As these two are fighting for the contract
But on December 9, two with try to survive.
Tickets on sale now.
It's the final WWE Premium live event of the year.
And now it is Kelani Jordan who is rocking and rolling.
[Booker] …she's feeling the pain,
but let me tell you something, she's special, Vic.
It's those little bitty intentions that I see right there
that makes it a little bit,
a little bit different, oh yes!
[Vic] And one way, Book, into that cover
to be crowned Breakout superstar.
Vice able to kick out.
You see Elektra Lopez on the outside
starting to pace as, now,
Jordan trying to fight through the pain.
Nice counter. Swing and a miss.
Toss and connect. Put that one into the stomach.
[unintelligible]
Into the cover to win the finals.
And another near fall for Lola Vice.
Take a look at the viewing room for the Breakout.
Everyone dressed to impress
and everyone on the edge of their seat.
[Booker] You talk about… talk about Elektra Lopez pass you,
is she may be the x factor here, Vic?
I mean that extra,
that extra little bit of coaching, Vic,
that we've seen those little things from the outside.
It's huge in this game,
Oh, whoa!
[Vic] Kelani again again on one way
able to block out the pain.
Get back to her feet
and could we be looking,
at this year's Breakout Superstar
looking for a second time and, connects!
High impact offense and now for Kelani,
going to the take-- hey!
It's what you mentioned with Lopez.
Looking forward to prove she's one of a kind
[Booker] That knee, right there!
[Vic] Damn! You're right Book,
on the injured left knee.
And… good night!
Vice into the cover.
Lola Vice, the Breakout Superstar!
[announcer] Give it up for the winner
of the 2023 NXT Women's Breakout Tournament,
Lola Vice!
[Vic] That kick connected
right on the ear of Kelani Jordan.
And it just took a split second.
Hat's off to Kelani Jordan.
Jordan was able to fight through the pain
on one leg and stay in this match.
And as you mentioned the x factor,
Elektra Lopez providing just a momentary distraction to allow
To allow Lola Vice
to sneak her way underneath Jordan
and then… bam!
Good night Kelani!
In a victory,
a contract,
Lola Vice.
The 2023 Women's Breakout Tournament winner.
[Lola] There's no one like me, I'm the most winning…
[breaths]
[Noam] Hello!
Hello, hello!
Hello!
Has anyone seen my cup?
It's big, it's beautiful, it's silver.
It's got my name all over it.
And it's not Tozawa's, it's mine!
Tozawa!
[howling]
This is the worst day ever.
No way.
This is the best day of my life!
She's here!
What did they do to you?
Where's Tozawa?
Oh my god.
You don't know what I've been through to get you back.
This has been the worst day ever.
I told you we were going to overcome Tozawa.
I told you we would do it.
You're right where you belong.
I would come and get you every time.
This is never going to happen to you again.
We are the champions.
Freedom!
[suspense music]
Guys.
Listen, whatever Tozawa's paying you
I can pay you double.
I can get you whatever you need. What you need?
A family, a home?
All you need to do is stand up.
Tozawa.
I'm done.
Look at me Tozawa!
Please give me the cup back.
[Tozawa] All I want is…
…Heritage Cup match!
[Noam] No way!
You don't even get a point in-- ah!
Tozawa make it stop!
You could have your match.
You've got your match next week.
Anything you want just,
back them off, please!
[evil laughter]
[Noam] Yes!
[Tozawa] See you next week.
[Noam] Yes! We're fine, we're fine.
[Tozawa] Go!
[Vic] We don't have to wait
until next week for this.
The trilogy, the rubber match,
the challenger's eye set on recapturing
his NXT championship
while the champion is locked in and retaining.
Hayes.
Dragunov.
Three. The main event of "Halloween Havoc."
[Isla] Oh, Alba!
Oh, the spirits are joyous again.
Shotzi and Scarlett have settled
the disturbance in the other realm.
And we…
…we have kept the balance in ours.
[Alba] What a perfect evening.
Fill with monsters and mayhem,
what else could you ask for on "Halloween Havoc"?
[Von] I thought you wanted there.
That's all I've been trying to tell you, man!
Breakker's gonna pay!
He got to win tonight,
but I want Breakker next week!
[Stone] Von, I appreciate you helping me out there
but I am not getting you that match!
[Von] Look, I want Breakker next week!
[Stone] No! Okay? You are not ready.
[Von] I don't care!
[Stone] Everything you've been doing in rehab,
has been great, it's been inspiring, okay?
But you are not ready for the match or to get back
into the ring!
[Von] I don't care.
You stepped up for me,
but now it's time for me to end this.
[Von] Ah!
[Stone] You all right?
Von, you all right?
[Von] Yeah, I'm good.
Just get the match made, Stone.
[Stone] Okay.
[Vic] Well here are some things that are official for next week.
After the torment we've seen at the Haunted House
Noam Dar will face Tozawa next week
in a Heritage Cup championship match.
For the first time as the NXT Women's Champion,
Lyra Valkyria will be here live
to address the NXT universe.
That happens next week as well, here on NXT.
And it all starts next week
as the countdown ticks towards NXT's Deadline.
WWE Hall of Famers will voice their opinions
on who should compete
in the Men's and Women's
Iron Survivor Challenge match.
Qualifying matches begin next week
live right here on NXT.
[Vic] But Booker, it is main event time
of "Halloween Havoc."
[rock music]
[Vic] "Him" for Carmelo Hayes
Is he walking into this event knowing
it's all or nothing?
[Booker] Of course.
I mean, he's that man.
He said he shot to not miss,
but let me tell ya,
he better be 100% precise,
tonight, because that man,
Ilja Dragunov
he knows what he's bringing to this day.
[Vic] Book, I'm glad you bring that up because,
is Melo 100% focused?
Ilja Dragunov doesn't believe
Melo is as focused as he once was on the championship.
[Booker] One thing Vic, you've got to lose to know how to win.
And I tell you, Carmelo Hayes,
he has hindsight in his favor.
He knows exactly the limits
he's going to have to abound.
It's gonna happen,
because tonight is gonna be awesome, man.
[Vic] Carmelo Hayes, who earned this opportunity
to become the number one contender
and compete in the Main Event
for the NXT championship against our champion.
Both spoke with confidence last week.
Both you can see are oozing confidence.
As the mat dragon breathed fire.
What will the deciding factor be in the trilogy?
What will the deciding factor be in this rubber match?
[Booker] Oh, Vic, we know it'll be fire though.
His pain is his pleasure, man.
He's willing to go all the way to the limit.
This is going to be good.
[Vic] A no-mercy rematch
here tonight in our Main Event of "Halloween Havoc."
[unintelligible]
[Booker] I love it, man.
Look at the eyes.
[Vic] Look at the eyes of the challenger.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest scheduled for one fall is for
for the NXT championship.
Introducing first, the challenger,
Carmelo Hayes!
And his opponent, he is the NXT champion
Ilja Dragunov!
[Vic] Ilja Dragunov looking for his second successful defense
of the NXT title.
Carmelo Hayes looking to become
just the seventh man
to hold the NXT title more than once.
You didn't miss a second of the action last week.
You haven't missed a moment here tonight.
You won't miss a second of in-ring action.
And our main event for the NXT championship.
Both superstars coming out with heavy artillery.
[Booker] Definitely not passive tonight, Vic,
This thing is getting-- oh yeah, we going right at it.
[Vic] Those superstars know each other so well.
They have had two instant classics over the summer.
And he runs the champion.
Wait back up, drops the challenger.
When you take a look at Carmelo Hayes,
Book, you start thinking of those matches.
What can Hayes take from the last match at No Mercy?
[Booker] Nah, nah, like I said in hindsight is 2020.
You should know exactly what you're going to do with it.
But right now, I don't agree with this tactic.
Going toe to toe with Ilja Dragunov
has not worked out for most.
Hayes trying to create a little bit of separation.
Trying to get away from Dragunuv after those two year points
we've seen in the past.
Dragunov willing to persevere, willing to push through.
Loves pain, loves to absorb contact.
Which is a rarity!
For most super combat fights.
He's gonna apply pressure Vic, like I said.
He's not gonna move back.
He's going to see if he can break your will.
Almost-- whoa!
Whoa!
[unintelligible]
Don't miss a second of the action.
The NXT championship on the line.
Main Event, at "Halloween Havoc".
NXT Championship on the line.
It has been a hard-hitting affair
in this trilogy between Dragunov and Dayes.
Carmelo Hayes trying to keep his eyes on the destination
and get back to the top of his brand.
For Ilja Dragunov called tonight a nightmare for Hayes he will not forget.
[Booker] Then you know what, because the only [unintelligible]
Whoa, he had to scratch.,
to get to this point Vic
And we always say, when you think I'm champion,
it makes you get better by 20 or 30%.
And that's scary!
Oh, yes!
[Vic] Dragunov told me the NXT title
represents the sacrifices he has made in life.
That's something you can relate to, Book,
the sacrifices you need to make to become a champion.
[Booker] When you sacrifice it all, Vic…
…it gives you that cloak of invincibility.
That's what Ilja has right now
going into this match up.
[Vic] Dragunov again as we've seen him in the past,
an unbreakable will.
Looking for another one.
Hayes trying to block.
Oh! Wait a minute.
i
That's one way to break the grip of Ilja Dragunov.
[Booker] No, this can shoot.
[Booker] This can shoot.
[Vic] And now Dragunov making him pay.
One little mistake, Book, that's all it takes
for Ilja Dragunov to run right through you.
[Booker] You said it, Vic. You make a mistake,
with Ilja Dragunov, you're gonna pay for it.
Every time.
[Booker] Ah!
[Vic] Into the cover, shoulders down, [unintelligible].
Just able to kick out.
Feels the impact of Carmelo Hayes.
Bam!
And not enough to stop the will tonight
for the challenger.
Championship Main Event tonight,
pair of titles on the line Saturday in Riyadh.
A pair of former NXT champions… will compete.
For the role of WWE title and this match
just made official for next week.
Bron Breakker, Von Wagner
Von got want he wanted,
[Vic] the match has been made. [Booker] Yeah, it's gonna be difficult.
[Booker] Right now you can't take your eye off this match right here.
Big shot by Ilja Dragunov.
That's got to be it.
[Booker] Whoa! [Vic] Oh, no, no, no.
[Vic] Carmelo Hayes able to kick out.
Hayes turned inside out.
[Booker] Vic, look at Dragunov. He's a rare breed, man.
The more you feed the monster,
the hungrier the monster gets, man.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] This will be the scariest we've seen from Ilja Dragunov.
I don't know if Carmelo Hayes
is even there at this moment.
He took a vicious clothesline and now
followed up by a pair of devastating knee strikes
[Vic] from the champion. [Booker] Yeah! Right there, right there
[Booker] Dragunov is grinding, Vic.
He's grinding to get the win here tonight.
[Vic] Looking for something special--
[unintelligible]
[Vic] Hayes for the title.
And Dragunov this time
just getting that shoulder up.
And now you know, you see the speed upon Hayes was running back
[Booker] Lot of talk there.
You got to separate the dragon from its [unintelligible]
Stay down from it, Vic
[Vic] Now being champion has not changed Dragunov's mindset.
Said that some be comprehensible.
Dragunov is not there.
Hayes wasn't there either.
These are two of the best NXT has.
To the finest WWE.
And again, just that momentary hesitation
from Carmelo Hayes opens the door for the resilient champion.
[Booker] Yeah, Dragunov said there was a point
in time in the match up
where Carmelo Hayes would break.
We're going to see if that's gonna happen.
[Vic] Well, Hayes
may be going to a dark place here tonight.
[Booker] Wow.
[Vic] Dragunov all the way to the floor again.
Hayes knows all too well
he can't win the championship by a count out.
He's got to drag as he's doing now the championship back into the ring.
Wait a minute!
DDT on the hardest part of the ring,
where steel meets wood.
[Booker] …they only right there.
[crowd] Holy shit! Holy shit!
[Vic] Carmelo Hayes may have just turned the complexion
of this match up, no pun intended, but on its head.
[Booker] Talk about, talk about what happened.
Go to that dark place right now.
Self interrogation mode.
That's what I'm talking about.
Pivotal [unintelligible]!
[Booker] Whoa!
[Vic] Left shoulder just up.
And again, Booker, watch Melo flight.
Hayes knows he's got to have a little extra here tonight,
because Dragunov himself predicted the intangible
that he possesses or that Carmelo Hayes possesses
will be the deciding factor in our Main Event here tonight,
for the NXT championship,
the trilogy, the rematch,
Hayes, Dragunov three here at "Halloween Havoc".
[Booker] …he hit that shot, Vic
not expecting Dragunov to kick out.
Wondering if he's going to get him in that position again,
that prone position.
Dragging on to this moment.
Ilja has to remember what happened when he went home with that NXT title
when he looked his son in the eyes and he said
He may have to remember that moment with his son, with his
with his family to be able to persevere.
Because Carmelo Hayes is bringing it here tonight.
But maybe Dragunov did just that, a park of energy for Dragunov.
The champion now hoisting up, picking
and looking to put the challenger. Into the cover.
Titles on the line.
Hayes somehow again able to kick out.
I just wonder did Dragunov have too much of that cover enrolled
and help the challenger out.
[Booker] What Dragunov normally digs a little bit deeper than his opponent.
Can Carmelo Hayes dig, dig, dig to pull it out tonight?
[Vic] Dragunov feeling that rage.
[Booker] Oh!
[Vic] Every step of the journey to get to the Main Event,
every step of the journey to win the NXT championship.
But Carmelo Hayes feeling the same thing here tonight.
He's doing a H-bomb!
I don't know if Dragunov got all of it,
but so much has been taken out of
both these superstar in this Main Event.
[Booker] Didn't get all of it. But Melo is the worst to wear right now.
[Vic] Boom! Bam! Right back in. [Booker] Wow.
[Vic] Again, these two have had two instant classics.
They know each other so well.
It really has been the summer of Hayes
and Dragunov who are here tonight at "Halloween Havoc."
In the Main Event, Hayes able to counter once, able to counter twice!
Hayes to the body, looking to counter.
Too much, couldn't lift, couldn't hoist Dragunov.
Dragunov looking for a submission.
[Booker] Oh beautiful slip right there!
Oh my god! Wow!
[Vic] …special doesn't connect again.
But I don't know where Carmelo Hayes is getting this from.
Did you feel that impact from that top to the back of the neck?
[Booker] They say in a flight, It's all about the training.
It's all about how much time you put in
leading up to this match up.
Carmelo obviously has put in the time for this one tonight.
[Vic] Dragunov hit Carmelo so hard,
Hayes thought his name was Casanova.
Now the NXT universe rallying behind the challenger.
Maybe they're trying to continue the fight inside the champion.
[Booker] I don't know what he's going for right now.
[Vic] Whatever it is, it's going to be devastating.
Whatever it is, it's going to be painful.
[Vic] You got to be kidding me!
Hayes is screaming in pain.
[Booker] It could be some internal bleeding
from the hardest part of the match right there.
My god, man.
[Vic] Take another look. You mentioned the awkward landing.
All that weight down on the spine,
on the small of the back of Hayes.
[Booker] No man leaves unscathed. That's the name of the game.
[Vic] …and we hear the official using his discretion in this moment.
Booker, he said get out of the way.
[Vic] Dragunov!
Rare to see this from Dragunov either, Booker.
[Vic] Talk about unbridled rage in Dragunov.
Dragunov going to an absolute different level.
Booker, get the hell out of here!
Dragunov!
H-boom!
We talk about the referee using his discretion.
Talk about the referee using his discretion.
I have never seen Dragunov be this enraged.
I've never seen Dragunov. I've never seen this look in the eyes.
with the battles all summer.
He is in a different zone in this moment, Booker.
[Vic] You back? You ruin that suit? [Booker] I'm back.
The referee started his count.
I give a lot of credit to our official here tonight.
He does not want this to end in a disqualification.
Does not want this to end in a count out.
He wants just like the NXT universe
which was on their feet here at "Halloween Havoc".
[Booker] Great discretion by the referee.
Give him a lot of credit,
a lot of props for keeping this one going.
This is a hell of a championship match
at "Halloween Havoc night 2".
[Vic] Dragunov right back in.
The challenger, Booker, can't even stand in this moment.
Sometimes you talk about the officials,
they have to save a superstar from themselves,
but there's nothing that's going to save Hayes!
[Booker] We talk about taking him in those deep corners, throwing him
in for a brawl.
[Booker] Oh! Break harder! [Vic] Trying to overpower Hayes.
[Vic] Hayes trying to wiggle himself free.
Dragunov hoisting up the challenger.
The champion looking to drop Hayes.
Hayes fighting. Yes! Got him!
But somehow again on his feet!
[Vic] Cover, cover! [Booker] Yeah!
[Booker] You've got to be kidding me!
No way!
[Vic] NXT universe on their feet.
Dragunov perched up high one more time.
[Vic] Champion. [Booker] He's going to be a shot.
[Vic] Where's that exclamation point off the top?
Got caught, got caught!
This is Hayes' moment!
[Booker] He gonna do it, he's gonna do it.
[Vic] Hayes starting to climb.
Hayes!
[Booker] What!
[Vic] Trick is back.
Hayes looks like he's seen a ghost ghost.
Remember that, Booker, the championship match
is still going on.
It's the Main Event of "Halloween Havoc."
The champion now.
That door opened.
Look at this.
Floating over off the superplex.
Hayes is rocked.
Torpedo!
Dragunov retains!
[announcer] Here is your winner and still the NXT champion,
Ilja Dragunov!
[Vic] Wherever you are, get on your feet
and show love and appreciation
for what these two men just put their bodies through
to become and to be called
the NXT champion.
I take nothing away from Carmelo Hayes.
But the symphony continues to play
for Ilja Dragunov.
I mean, Booker, what a match.
Another instant classic between these two
as the referee would allow this match up to continue.
Carmelo Hayes looked like maybe he had it. But no!
Ilja Dragunov, like a rubber band,
would snap right back into action.
And it was another near fall,
after another near fall
after another near fall.
And it was counter for counter
between these two, who know each other so damn well.
Here Carmelo, we all thought had him
until Trick Williams reemerged.
And as I mentioned in that moment,
Carmelo Hayes lost focus.
That allowed Ilja Dragunov to refocus
his strength, his will, his passion
on the challenger.
That Torpedo Moscow would help Dragunov
retain his NXT title here at "Halloween Havoc."
Dragunov still the Tsar of NXT!
[suspense music]
[Vic] But Booker, right now?
Is Trick Williams… looking at his friend
or looking at the man that attacked him?
[Booker] Man, the whole time you were talking,
I'm looking in the eyes of disappointment trick Williams.
[Vic] Hold on! What happened? Somethings going on
[Vic] Something happened.
What happened?
[Baron] I told you. I told you! Keep your head on a swivel!
I warned you!
[referee] Get off of him!
Subtitles: Ticiana Yapson you! Keep your head on a swivel!
