Jacy Jayne & Tatum Paxley Segment

Tatum Paxley: Guys, I freaking did it. Guys, I outlasted 19 other women, and I finally get my one-on-one shot for the NXT Women’s Championship. It’s been four years, four years that you guys have seen me at my lowest. You’ve seen me lose all my friends; you’ve seen me completely alone. But there’s been one friendship that’s been consistent, one that’s always had my back, and it’s every single one of you guys that have always been there for me. You guys stood by my side, and now I’m on my way to my first PLE, and how fitting is it? My first PLE, guys, and it’s so fitting that it’s the scariest night of the year, Halloween Havoc. Everything is just going right. I just couldn’t be happier. I have The Culling. I have my best friend, Izzi. Izzi, you cared for me when the rest of the women were just trying to use me. You promise to stay by my side, so I owe you this promise here. I will bring singles gold to The Culling. And I know I’ve come up short before, but this time, you guys have my back, so I know I will become the new NXT Women’s Champion. You and me, Izzi, we’re gonna go through this division together.

Jacy Jayne: Alright, alright, enough of this. Izzi, are you going to tell Tatum or you’re going to make me do it? No? Okay, no problem, I’ll be the bad guy, like always. Tatum, you don’t stand a chance in hell on Saturday. But you know what? I get it, I get it, it’s spooky season, you have the support of your best friend and the entire WWE Universe. But trust me when I tell you, that deep down, everyone is thinking the same thing, that there’s no shot that you walk out with this NXT Women’s Championship. I may have started my reign as, the most beatable champion, but day in and day out, match after match, I have beaten it into not only these idiot’s brains, but every opponent that’s stepped in the ring with me. Now, when it matters the most, you can’t beat me. So, Tatum, please, please tell me what makes you any different, just because you have the support of these losers out here? Newsflash, you creepy little weirdo, you’re not special, you’re barely even average. So, if we’re being completely honest here, you probably should’ve let Izzi win the battle royal, because at least she would stand a shot being the number one contender.

Tatum Paxley: I got it. First of all, I know what you’re trying to do, and you cannot get in between us. And second of all, Jacy Jayne, out of everybody here, you should know exactly what I’m feeling, how hard it is to get to the top here. Jacy, it took you so long to get where you are right now. And you came in with one of the most dominant factions in NXT history, and you’ve won gold. People expect you to do it again. But me, not a chance, not a chance that Tatum Paxley wins gold, just like you said, right? This creepy little weirdo should just run off and hide, but Jacy, a lot like you, I kept getting better. I was training day in and day out, I just didn’t have the spotlight to show it. It was in empty rings, day after day, night after night, fail after fail. But on Saturday, you better your ass that it’s my time that I become NXT Women’s Champion.

Fallon Henley: Tater-Tot, look at you all riled up. This is only going to make it that much sweeter when you flat out lose. You know, I just hope that Izzi and The Culling don’t leave you when you disappoint them this weekend at Halloween Havoc.

Izzi Dame: Oh, that’s rich coming from you. You two are the ones to kickout your own friend, three weeks ago. Unlike Fatal Influence, The Culling is stronger than ever, and Tatum has been nothing short of the greatest addition to our group. So, call her what you want, but The Culling will always accept Tatum for exactly who she is.

Jacy Jayne: Okay, Izzi. Wow, izzi, wow. You know, I used to have so much respect for you. Really, I thought so highly of you. A strong, independent, confident woman, in my opinion, the leader of The Culling. But since Tatum has been around, I don’t know, things has been a little different. If you ask me, she’s more of what, a babysitter rather than a leader?

Izzi Dame: Oh, believe me, Jacy Jayne when I say, I’m in full control of my group.

Tatum Paxley: Enough, enough. Look, I know that my friends support me, meanwhile you guys only have each other’s backs when it’s convenient. I also know that my friends are happy for me, could you say the same, Jacy Jayne? Because Izzi and I are willing to prove that, tonight?

Fallon Henley: Well, you know what, that’s fine, Tater-Tot, because Lainey is ready to step up, right, Lainey?

Jacy Jayne: Be careful what you wish for, weirdo.

The Culling gets into a brawl with Fatal Influence. Jacy gets treated like a punching bag. Tatum goes for The Psycho Trap, but Fatal Influence pulls Jacy Jayne out of the ring.

Leon Slater: Hey, J, the people have already seen what magic we create across the ring from each other, but listen to my idea, dog. What if we stood on the same side?

Je’Von Evans: That’s fire, but I’m thinking if, The Young OG and The Youngest In Charge is gonna be in a tag team match, it’s gotta be a movie, you feel me? Guess what, we don’t care if it’s anybody from NXT, TNA, etc.

La Parka and Mr. Iguana from AAA appear on the stage.

Mr. Iguana: So, correct me if I’m wrong, you guys are planning on having Halloween Havoc without La Parka, Mr. Iguana and La Yezca? You see, we just talked to AVA, and she had the very same idea.

AVA, Sol Ruca, Blake Monroe, Zaria Segment

AVA: Alright, Sol, I know that we spoke earlier, and you know how I feel, but you said you wanted to address the WWE Universe, so the floor is yours.

Sol Ruca: Clearly, I’m not walking around like I usually do. Unfortunately, on SmackDown on Friday, I got injured in our tag team title match against Charlotte and Alexa. I didn’t come out here to put the blame on anyone, I know that injuries happen, it’s just part of the game, and you have to move on. So, with that being said, I’m not medically cleared to compete and defend my North American Championship Title against Blake Monroe at Halloween Havoc. I don’t know when I’m going to be cleared, all I know is that I’m not going to be good for Saturday.

AVA: Sol, look, I know what you’re trying to say, but I don’t think you have to do this, I mean, what about your Speed Title?

Sol Ruca: Can we talk about that later, I don’t want to hold up one division, let alone two. I won this title in a Ladder Match at Stand & Deliver, because Stephanie Vaquer said that there’s so many women in that locker room just waiting for their opportunity, and that hasn’t changed. I’m going to earn this back.

Blake Monroe: I am so sorry, Sol, how unfortunate. But you need not worry about the future of the North American Championship, because I’m right here. I was supposed to have the match at Halloween Havoc, and therefore, I am the number one contender. And since Sol can’t defend her championship, and who knows when you will be cleared, the champion should be. I came to NXT to make it glamorous, and I’ll make that North American Championship glamorous.

Zaria: No, no, no, wait, AVA, do not take anything she says into consideration, because, Blake, you do not deserve to get given a title, especially one Sol won, busted her ass, defend time and time, again. This is NXT, Blake, we do not give handoffs.

Blake Monroe: Oh, yes, well done, Zaria. There we go again, fighting all of Sol’s battles for her. Maybe one day you could try, I don’t know, doing something for yourself. But until then, this brand needs a North American Champion, and whom better than moi?

Sol Ruca: Zaria, I hate to say this, but she’s kind of right, I mean, I don’t know when I’m going to be cleared.

Zaria: No, that’s exactly right, we don’t know when you’re going to come back. It could be a few months, it could be a few weeks. You know what? Don’t even worry about it, I got you.

Blake Monroe: We get it, you’re best friends, who cares?

Zaria: Shut your mouth, Blake. Sol, I can defend the title against Blake at Halloween Havoc. I can defend the North American Championship in Sol’s honor. AVA, what you think?

Blake Monroe: Don’t you dare answer that. We get it, you love Sol, and Sol loves you, and this is probably the closest you’ll get to a championship, that’s now how this works.

AVA: Okay, Blake, she asked me, not you. Now, although it’s a bit unconventional, I actually think it’s a great idea, but Sol, it’s your title, it’s your choice.

Sol Ruca: I fought so hard for this title, but there is no one in this world that I trust more than you, Zaria. So, I say, yes.

AVA: So, then it’s official. This Saturday at Halloween Havoc, it will be Blake Monroe versus Zaria for the Women’s North American Championship.

Blake snaps at AVA. Zaria nails Blake with The F5. Zaria poses with the Women’s North American Championship to close this segment.

– Axiom/Sean Legacy Vignette.

– We see an NXT Anonymous Clip. Myles Borne and Tavion Heights are venting about coming short in their most recent marquee matches. Josh Briggs interrupts the conversation. He’s tired of hearing grown men crying. Briggs says that Borne and Heights are going to wait a long time if they’re looking for popularity and success. Briggs beat the Internet’s Favorite, Matt Cardona last week. He’s glad that he pissed off the internet last week. Briggs says that there’s only room for one person at the top, and it’s not Borne or Heights, but at the least the fans love them, right?

Ethan Page Promo

El Hijo Del Dr. Wagner Jr. How’s my Spanish, I’ve been working on it? You must be feeling really good about yourself right now. This Saturday is the match that you wanted, A Day Of The Dead Match, where anything goes. All Ego has done his research on you, and, yeah, I’m in for a fight at Halloween Havoc. You have survived Cage Matches, battles in Japan for NOAH, classic for AAA in Mexico. You have put your body on the line, all to defend the honor of your mask. Well, pal, this Saturday, we’re fighting for something more important than your mask, we’re fighting for my North American Championship. You have a family legacy to uphold. A tradition set forth by your father, the same man who put your Latin American Championship around your waist at Triple Mania. And by the way, in his prime, your dad couldn’t touch me, and neither will you in Prescott Valley, Arizona. This is your match, and your rules, but when it comes to my title, and my continent, you will be the one left for dead in the desert.

Ricky Saints & Trick Williams Contract Signing 

AVA: This Saturday at Halloween Havoc, two of the biggest superstars in NXT go one-on-one, for the first time ever, with the NXT Championship on the line. Now, last week, backstage, things got absolutely out of hand, but I told both superstars, just keep it together until the contract signing, so let’s make it official. First, please welcome the challenger, Trick Williams. And the NXT Champion, Ricky Saints.

Trick Williams: Like I said last week, Ricky, I do things on my time. I don’t just go out running, just because someone screams my name. I wait for my moment. I wait for my spotlight, and that’s why I am the main event. But I guess that’s our problem with this whole thing. I mean, Ricky, you’re mad just because, even though you are the NXT Champion, Trick Williams is still the man at NXT, I’m still the main event. And that’s why, a couple weeks ago, I left you hanging at Showdown, to prove one thing, Ricky, there was one man and one man only who could pick NXT up and put it on his back, and his name is Trick Williams. But don’t get it twisted, it ain’t because I love NXT so much, let’s be real. I don’t owe NXT nothing, I don’t owe TNA nothing. I’m loyal to one man, and one man only, and even without a title, I’m loyal to Trick Williams. Trick Williams loves himself some Trick Williams. And since I love Trick Williams, and since Trick Williams loves me, I’m going to do what’s best for Trick Williams, and become a 3X (excuse me), a 3X (what was that?), a 3X (Oh, yeah) NXT Champion, let’s talk about it.

Ricky Saints: Go ahead and hurry up and sign that, player, because there’s something I want to say. I am a very emotional guy, I wear it on my sleeve, I own it, there’s nothing wrong with that. I know exactly who I am, and I’ve never changed, but can we say the same thing about you? That title right there could either make you complacent or it could make you really ambitious. For me, I have been more focused, but what did the title do to you? A guy wo ushered in, The Whoop That Era, and I think you would agree, one of the most exciting times here in NXT history, but guess what, brah, you lost the plot along the way. You thought that you were bigger the brand, you thought you were bigger than all these people here and everybody in the back, you thought you were bigger than the title. To me, you were already ready to leave this place a long time ago, playboy.

Trick Williams: Woah, hold on there, Ricky. Look around, look at everything that I’ve created. It must be hard for you to admit, somebody like you, who’s been grinding for what, decades on the indies? Look at me, Ricky, look at me. Do I look like I belong on the indies? Hell nah. Damnit, I look Hollywood, I look good, Ricky, I look like a champion.

AVA: Before this gets out of control.

Trick Williams: Hold on now, Ricky. When I look in your eyes, I don’t see a champion, I see someone cosplaying, doing their best, doing the best they can to become a stunt double for Trick Williams. But let me help you out, Ricky, there’s no man alive, no man on god’s green earth that can replace Trick Williams. At your very best, you can be my stand-in. And since you’re standing in my way, I’m going to whoop your ass for that NXT Championship. And this Absolute Era will be absolutely over.

Ricky Saints: Great, this is great, I love it. The same guy that walked into the PC one day hoping to make it, now your ass can barely fit through the door. Don’t talk to me about grinding on the indies, because the stuff I’ve been through, you ass would have folded like the shirts you got on, you understand what I’m saying? One thing about me is, I can never, ever be a Trick Williams replacement. I’m the blueprint, you’re trying to be like me. I am smoother, I am silkier, I’m more stylish than you ever will be. I am the man that is the face of NXT, do you understand me? This is my house. I’m locked in. Come Saturday, guess what, yo ass is locked out, because I am absolutely Ricky Saints.

Trick delivers a cheap shot. Trick drops Ricky with The Trick Kick. Ricky delivers The F5 through the table. Ricky poses with the NXT Championship as the show goes off the air.
