8 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2022

2. The Wrong Man Eats A Pin?

This is admittedly very subjective.

Firstly, the main event Triple Threat was a fun ride. Oh yes, that's coming later in the 'Ups', don't you worry. For now though, this writer fancies a wee whine about Ilja Dragunov eating the pin when JD McDonagh was right there as a third wheel. What a missed opportunity this was!

OK, so some folks out there won't have a problem with it at all. That's fine, however...Bron Breakker vs. Ilja is definitely a match WWE needs to book soon, and the bout's key plot points suggested that JD was a menace neither man wanted in between them in the first place.

That's cool, he's a heel; JD is a heel that should've taken the fall though. Fans popped big time when Bron and Ilja went nose-to-nose, which should really tell creative everything they need to know about who fans want to see vs. Breakker in a singles.
