WWE NXT Halloween Havoc Review 28.10.2024.

Intro.

As this time off year, draws the nights in, and the weather gets colder. NXT of late, hasn't been as a bad as what i thought it would be. Now, don't get me wrong. I have gone a bit cold on the NXT product of late, in terms of their TV product, but in the terms of PLE's they always deliver.

Gigi Dolon Hype Video.

Gigi Dolon, introduced the show, hosting the intro hype video, It's great to see her back.

Tony D'angelo vs Oba Femi NXT North American Championship.

The ring announcer couldn't even get a word out, because both men started, to produce the carnage. Awesome table spots, and ladders, getting used as impliments, and help from the family, leading to Tony to retain his belt, after he gave Oba a spinebuster through a table. This. Was, an excellent opening match, and I had a lot of fun watching it.

Lexis King Segment.

William Regal, said that he will help the man with drawn on side burns, and will be in his corner, when he faces his son on Tuesday.

Roxanne Perez And Cora Jade vs Giulia And Stephanie Vaquer.

Stephanie Vaquer, and. Giulia, beat. Roxanne Perez, and. Cora Jade. I loved this match. I felt that the flow it had, helped the match to have time to breathe. The physicality was solid, and all four ladies painted their art, on this canvas.

WWE Superstars Halloween Suprise.

WWE Superstars, then felt up The Boogeyman. Byron Saxtons face was a picture.

Cedric Alexander Jevon Edwards Segment.

Cedric Alexander, gave. Jevon Edwards some advice. They will face the Tag Team Champions on Tuesday. Nathan Frasier, and. Axiom answered back later on.

Busted Open Radio On NXT.

Dave LaGrecca, and. Bully Ray, from Busted Open Radio, were on hosting duties. I understand why they're divisive figures, but I like their back and forth, on. Busted Open. Ridge Holland then got in Bully Rays face later on. This was the second time on the broadcast. Tatum Paxley then scared the daylights out of. Booker T, when she appeared from Case, that Wendy Choo, trapped her in on NXT this week. Also. Vic Joseph's David S Pumpkins Costume was inspired.

Andre Chase vs Ridge Holland Ambulance.

I had a lot of fun watching this. This. Was. A stipulation led ride, that didn't disapoint. Ambulance matches, do what they say on the tin, there not technical masterpieces, what we got here was a weapon induced piece of work, as a steel chair, a kendo stick, and a stretcher, were all used to full effect. Holland got the win, after he put his former Chase U mentor in an ambulance, slamming the door on his education. Right i'm going to send in application.

Gauntlet Match Kelani Jordan vs Fatal Influence.

I thought this match fell flat. Kelani saw off. Jasmine Nix, and. Jacy Jayne, but she couldn't get over Fallon Henley, as she became the new NXT North American Championship. She then tried to cut a promo, but. Zaria came out and laid waste to all of Fatal Influence. This was her second appearance on the show, as she stared down Cora Jade, and. Roxanne Perez, after their loss.

Devils Playground Ethan Page vs Trick Williams NXT Championship.

I liked all of this, except the ending that is. The match was a fine run through, complete with good weapon spots, including. Ethan Page, getting turned into a human pumpkin, both men fighting in the fans. Ethan was landed onto nuts, and bolts. Both men had fun with steel steps. And. Trick Williams, was put through the announcers table. The final stages of the match, saw the near falls, land into place well, and both mens final exchanges, led to the finish, allowing Trick to retain his belt, and then it happened. Ridge Holland came out, and attacked Trick. Bully Ray came out to make the save. I hated the ending. Bully stood tall, this takes away the fact that Developmentees, were meant to be standing tall. Instead  this made Trick look stupid, needing help from a 50 plus year old veteran. What's the point in that.

Over Of WWE NXT Halloween Havoc.

Poor ending aside, this was a decent show, that I had a lot of fun watching. The in-ring work went from good, to, great, and the promise that has been placed on NXT, makes me feel excited for the developmental brands future.

NXT Halloween Havoc 2024 is a high 8/10.
