Halloween Havoc - NXT 2.0 recap for October 26, 2021

Chucky from the USA Network/SyFy series Chucky welcomes everyone to tonight's show.

Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne) beat the team of Zoey Stark and Io Shirai and the team of Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta in a Triple Threat Scareway To Hell Ladder Match to become the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions!



We see Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams pull up to a very sketchy house. Carmelo Hayes is ready to go in, but Trick is a bit more reluctant. As they approach the house, they surroundings get more eerie. Meanwhile, Johnny Gargano and Dexter Lumis watch them. As Carmelo and Trick approach the house, they are soon led to the house by a boy to the house, and Carmelo and Trick make their way in.



Grayson Waller, dressed as a vampire, says LA Knight is not here because he could not handle the pressure and that he is the back-up host. As he talks about women in skimpy outfits, Joe Gacy shows up. Gacy says that corrupt minds like Grayson is why Halloween is not an inclusive holiday and an excuse to exploit and sexualize people. He says that to balance things out, he is here to send a message to his opponent, Malik Blade. As he says that he is "doing this for all of us" and that violence is not the answer, he is drop kicked by Malik Blade. Meanwhile, the man with the bald head - identified on commentary as "Harlan" - makes his way into the arena via a freight door.



Joe Gacy beats Malik Blade after having to beg "Harlan" off from grabbing Malik Blade by the chin. After the match, Joe Gacy is seen telling the bald man "Harlan, you can trust me."

We hear from Kay Lee Ray, who says that being one of the most dominant women's champions in 60 years got her nothing in NXT, and now, it is time to rage.



Backstage, there is a Halloween party. Ikemen Jiro questions the whole point behind trick-or-treat, then KUSHIDA tells Ikemen Jiro he has an idea. Grayson Waller is seen talking to other people during the party, including Cameron Grimes. (Independent wrestler "The Mad Esthetician" Amber Rodriguez is seen standing next to Tony D'Angelo.)

We hear from Diamond Mine. He tells the competition that they can pick their poison on who they get to pick, and tells them to choose carefully. After the match, Odyssey Jones answers Malcolm Bivens' open challenge and picks Roderick Strong. Bivens tells Odyssey "Your big ass is not 205 pounds," but Roderick Strong does not care and wants Odyssey Jones.

Roderick Strong beats Odyssey Jones after The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) distract Odyssey Jones, allowing Strong to hit two jumping knees for the win.



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel). Barthel says loyalty is one of the biggest strengths, but tonight is about the gold. Aichner says they have never been more ready and that tonight is their night.

Back at the Halloween party, Tony D'Angelo asks Lash Legend to reconsider putting him on her show. She reconsiders, but tells him not to disappoint. Meanwhile, nobody recognizes Von Wagner as Brad Pitt, Cameron Grimes tells Duke Hudson he will see him in the poker room, and Robert Stone (as Elvis) tries to pick a fight with Xyon Quinn, who puts him through a table.



Raquel Gonzalez shows up on a motorcycle before the next match. The next match is a Chucky's Choice match. Chucky's Choice is a Trick or Street Fight, which has no count-out or disqualifications and must have the winning pinfall or submission take place in the ring.

Mandy Rose beats Raquel Gonzalez in a Trick or Street Fight to become the NXT Women's Champion after a person shrouded in black hits Raquel in the back with a shovel from the outside. After the match, the person shrouded in black is revealed to be Dakota Kai, who has not been seen since Raquel defeated her to retain the NXT Women's Championship.



Back at the haunted house, Carmelo Anthony and Trick Williams explore the house. Suddenly, they come into contact with a woman who looks like a witch and a man with a jack-o'-lantern head. They then walk into a masquerade ball with mannequins in masks, and are scared off by a few of the mannequins come to life. As Trick Williams mentions they are being chased, they suddenly run into Andre Chase, and the three of them explore the house. Johnny Gargano and Dexter Lumis decide to take care of business. Andre Chase briefly notices Lumis, and in the next room, Andre Chase gets eaten by a zombie. Trick gets sepeated from Carmelo and runs into Lumis, then runs away and is scared by more of the haunted house's denizens. Trick then runs into Carmelo, who says that Gargano got him. Carmelo and Trick then find the North American Championship, and Camelo Hayes takes the title. Suddenly, Gargano and Lumis are behind them, and they get a shot in before Trick and Carmelo get away. Carmelo and Trick escape with the belt, fend off a few of the house's denizens, then run away when Gargano and Lumis scare them. Gargano tells Lumis to do this at his house next year, then Lumis and the denizens of the house all give the thumbs up with Gargano.



Grayson Waller is in the ring. He tells everyone to follow him on Twitch, TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat before LA Knight shows up, also dressed as a vampire. LA Knight tells Grayson Waller to get out, but Grayson says it is not his fault he had car problems. When Knight wants to know how he knows he had car problems, Solo Sikoa shows up. Grayson Waller introduces Sikoa, who knocks Waller out and throws him out of the ring when Knight pushes Waller towards him. Knight retreats. The crowd chants "Uso."



Bron Breakker sees a Chucky doll as he gets ready for his match.

DJ Tommy Carlucci is the DJ for MSK's (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) entrance before the next match.

NXT Fan of the Night Alex spins the wheel to decide the stipulation for the next match. It is a Lumberjack O'Lantern match, and the winner is determined by pinfall or submission while Superstars surround the ring.

Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel beat MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee) in a Lumberjack O'Lantern Match to become NXT Tag Team Champions for the second time. During the match, referees have to clear ringside to restore order after all the lumberjacks brawl following Wes Lee leaping over the ring post to take out Aichner and Nash Carter hitting Barthel with a cutter from the top rope to the outside.
