WWE NXT HALLOWEEN HAVOC RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR OCT. 31
How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me? How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me? How can I know so many, never really knowing anyone? If I seem superhuman, I’m just liveblogging this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The show opens with ECTO-1 driving up to the arena and Shotzi Blackheart and Scarlett Bordeaux get out dressed as Ghostbusters.
New Years Day plays Hurts Like Hell on the stage as a recap of last week’s show plays.

Scarlett and Shotzi let them take charge and they talk about filling tonight with chaos, mischief, and havoc.
Tiffany Stratton is interviewed backstage but she’s too mad to talk, and we go to break.
Back from commercial, Joe Gacy cuts a promo about how he’s made mistakes and nobody’s perfect but still peers, friends, and strangers alike stab him with their judgmental eyes day after day. He’s not asking for forgiven,ess, he knows there’s a darkness inside of him, and once upon a time he was tethered to society but now there’s no strings on him.
Maybe you believe in fairytales, but then again, maybe you don’t.
We see Ilja Dragunov warming up backstage.
Tiffany Stratton attacks Fallon Henley during her entrance and beats her down, ramming her shin-first into the post before applying a figure four in the ringpost! Medic tend to Fallon and it seems we don’t have a match.
We get footage of Meta-Four dressed as the Scooby Gang (Noam Dar is Scooby Doo, Oro Mensah is Shaggy, Jakara Jackson is Daphne, and Lash Legend is Velma) and looking through Akira Tozawa’s haunted house until we get a “To be continued” tag and we go to break.

Thea Hail and Duke Hudson roll up to talk about how great being champions are and how they’ll be Champ U after the girls win their tag titles. Andre says as long as it’s fair and square it’ll be great.
The D’Angelo Family rolls up to say there’s two kinds of wrongs, those done to them and those they do to others, and Chase U owes them. Duke says they’ll get their rematch, and Tony cryptically says “yeah, that too”
Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn, dressed as Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, creep out of the background to talk about how the tag titles are cursed and send us to break.
Back from commercial we get the next part of the Meta-Four haunted house story.
Jakara Jackson has become separated from the others and wanders alone through the haunted house running into various creeps and ghoulies before eventually fainting.
We cut to Oro Mensah, who runs into some kind of undead creatures outside and runs away, eventually running into Tozawa, who knocks him out in short order and has him taken away.
Cut to Lash Legend, who has lost her glasses. (They’re on top of her head.) She thinks she found the cup several times and lifts cloths off of things that are not the cup repeatedly before she too finds herself overwhelmed.
We get a recap of Bron Breakker injuring Von Wagner.
Bron Breakker vs. Robert Stone
Stone is, despite his storied history as a former TNA X Division Champion, TNA World Tag Team Champion, and TNA Television Champion, completely out of his depth here with Breakker destroying him out the gates. Desperate slap across the face but it’s not nearly enough...
Bron Breakker wins by pinfall with the spear.
Post-match, Bron picks up the stairs and goes to smash Robbie with them— VON WAGNER IS BACK! WE HAVE A BRAWL!
We get a video package covering Lyra Valkyria winning the NXT Women’s Championship from Becky Lynch and we go to break.

Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn are on a podium and they make the make a deal wheel spin.
Lexis King is interviewed backstage.
He says he’s always pleased with his performances and he’s very please about the buzz around his name. But he’s used to it, and it comes with the territory of being a star. This is his life and he’s doing things his way, so just wait and see what he does next, or better what he’s already done.
Kelani Jordan vs. Lola Vice (NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament Finals)
Jordan ducks a right hand, off the ropes, looking for a backslide, no dice! Catch a kick from Vice, judo heel trip, another quick cover! Dropkick, Lola shrugs it off, quick kicks into the corner, Vice with a running hip attack and we go to break!
Back from commercial, inside cradle for two and Kelani is on the hunt! Flying elbows, kick combo, the last one connects but can’t keep Jordan down! Whip across, Jordan with a handspring into a side Russian legsweep, fired up, she hits the Overdrive and goes up top where Elektra Lopez runs interference!
Split-legged moonsault misses, Lola is ready...
Lola Vice wins by pinfall with a crescent kick, winning the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament.
We cut to Noam Dar, alone and afraid asking if anyone’s seen his big beautiful cup. He turns and sees it and rushes over, smelling it and licking it to be sure it’s his beloved NXT Heritage Cup. A couple of ghouls appear behind him and he tries to pay them off but Akira Tozawa appears behind him and takes the cup.
Tozawa says he wants a title match and the ghouls scare Dar into giving him a match next week! He gives Noam the cup back and leaves him to the tender ministrations of the ghouls.
Carmelo Hayes is shown walking backstage, as is Ilja Dragunov, to send us to break.
Back from commercial, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn talk about how Shotzi Blackheart and Scarlett Bordeaux solved the problem in the other realm and what more could you ask.
