Follow Us
This week’s WWE NXT was a special “Halloween Havoc.” With Shotzi Blackheart as the host, the event had two title matches with North American champion Damian Priest facing Johnny Gargano and Women’s champion Io Shirai facing Candice LeRae. However, there were some spooky interruptions along the way.
The show began with the North American Championship match. Shotzi spun the wheel for a stipulation, and it turned out to be a Devil’s Playground match! No disqualification and falls count anywhere.

Priest started things off as he overpowered Gargano with back-to-back offenses. Priest threw Gargano off the ring as the duo attacked each other again and again.
Gargano went under the ring to bring out a kendo stick while Priest had a pipe. Both men swung their weapons at each other. After a while, Gargano took control and hit Priest with the kendo sticks.
