A set up for the Halloween Havoc main event, Jade Cora’s surprising win and some fun promo highlighted an entertaining week of NXT action. Regardless of the short matches, the lack of characters on the show made up for the lack of beefy in-ring action.

Ember Moon vs. Mandy Rose w/ Toxic Attraction: Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne: Toxic Attraction got involved early and Moon missed The Eciplse, allowing Rose to get the win via Bicycle Knee.
LA Knight vs. Odyssey Jones: Thanks to help from Andre Jones, Knight was able to pick up the win with a Neckbreaker variation.

Tony D’Angelo vs. Malik Blade: D’Angelo got the quick with with the Northern Lights Suplex/Neckbreaker combination in an impressive debut.
