7 Ups & 4 Downs From NXT Halloween Havoc Part Two (Results & Review)
Creeds' last dance, hard-hitting NXT Championship match, and Dar as Scooby Doo. Buckle up!
NXT was always going to have a difficult road ahead of itself to top last week’s Halloween Havoc episode, even with three title matches and a possible farewell to a popular act.
But Tuesday’s show was still a good deal of fun. It helps with the bar being lowered (below WWE’s already lower standards) because NXT is more of a developmental brand than Raw or SmackDown. The program gave fans spirited title defenses, a surprise return and potential goodbye to the Creed Brothers, who returned from a successful Raw debut Monday night.
Being NXT, viewers had to expect some goofy Halloween season !*$%, and the show definitely provided a few of those moments, but it mostly worked and kept the really silly stuff to a few select segments involving Meta-Four and the wrestlers who always look like they’re ready for Halloween, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn.
If you were new to NXT, there were probably a few moments where you got lost, but there also was some good content to hook you in. Call Halloween Havoc a success for staying true to what NXT is today and not straying too far off in either direction, right down to Noam Dar dressed as Scooby Doo.
