Ilja Dragunov And Carmelo Hayes Run It Back A Third Time

NXT Champion, Ilja Dragunov, reignites his rivalry with former champion, Carmelo Hayes, on night two of Halloween Havoc. The two have a long, storied history revolving around the NXT Championship and, on October 31, they add yet another chapter to their story.

The two had their first match at The Great American Bash, with Hayes retaining the championship. At No Mercy, the title would change hands as Dragunov would be successful in their match. On week two of Halloween Havoc, the two meet in a rubber match that could define the rivalry between Dragunov and Hayes, the NXT Championship itself, as well as the very future of NXT.

At this point in their story, Dragunov and Hayes know each other well enough to know what to expect from each other. Both Dragunov and Hayes are highly motivated and claim to be the face of the entire NXT brand.

At WWE NXT Halloween Havoc week two, they get to put it all on the line with the chance to walk away the champion and to hold onto the top position of NXT.

‘Dirty’ Dom Defends North American Championship Against Nathan Frazer

‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio is now a two-time NXT North American Champion but Nathan Frazer looks to end Mysterio’s reign once and for all. Mysterio and Frazer have been having backstage brawls over the last two weeks, and it all culminates on week two of Halloween Havoc.

Mysterio and Frazer could be expected to be a showcase for those vying to hold the gold. It could be expected that Mysterio will once more employ the assistance of The Judgement Day to retain gold but Frazer could still find a way around that. Frazer could outsmart ‘Dirty’ Dom to overcome the odds. Regardless, the two get to resolve their issues inside the ring.

NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament Final Takes Place

The NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament final is set to take place on the October 31 edition of NXT. The final will be a contest between Kelani Jordan and Lola Vice, as they both try to claim the contract. Both Jordan and Vice are promising stars in the NXT women’s division and this could project the winner to the highest level.

With a new NXT Women’s Champion in Lyra Valkyria and the likes of Jade Cargill watching closely, Jordan and Vice will both look to show up and show out with this match.
