Live from the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, WWE NXT Halloween Havoc returned as a thrilling Premium Live Event with exciting matches and intense rivalries. Let’s dive into the key moments of the show, featuring title defenses, a brutal Devil’s Playground match, and a surprise development involving William Regal.
Tony D’Angelo (c) vs. Oba Femi – Tables, Ladders, and Scares Match (North American Championship)
The night kicked off with a chaotic Tables, Ladders, and Scares match as Tony D’Angelo defended his North American Championship against Oba Femi. The action exploded right away, with D’Angelo spearing Femi through the barricade and grabbing a ladder from under the ring.
Femi brought in chairs and viciously attacked D’Angelo, wearing him down with repeated strikes and sending him crashing into ladders. As things escalated, Femi trapped D’Angelo in the corner with a ladder and later put him through a table set in the opposite corner.
Using a crowbar to lock in a crossface, Femi nearly gained the upper hand, but D’Angelo fought back with a back body drop onto a chair. Chaos ensued as The Family (Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and Luca Crusifino) rushed to assist D’Angelo, only to be briefly taken out by Femi.
The match reached its climax when Adriana Rizzo entered to help D’Angelo, distracting Femi. A coordinated attack by Stacks and Crusifino, followed by a spinebuster from D’Angelo through a table, secured the victory.
Winner (and still champion): Tony D’Angelo
