8 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2022

6. Mandy Rose Rolls On

It's a huge compliment to Mandy that she's been NXT Women's Champ this long and still deserves to hold the belt more than anyone else. Alba's time will come, because Toxic Attraction is main roster-ready and could do great work on Raw or SmackDown, but WWE are right to let Rose roll on for now.

Everything, from the haunted house antics to the actual in-ring match, was rather well done. Please overlook the fact that Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne somehow escaped their fates in the pre-match vignette and made it to the arena for the finish too, 'cause...well, you have to.

This was good, clean fun.

Isn't that what pro wrestling is supposed to be? It should be an entertaining trip through thrills, spills, action, drama and everything in between. Seeing Alba and Mandy go from goofing off at a bargain bin Halloween Horror Nights to working intense exchanges mid-ring showed off their range as performers.
