Indi Hartwell is likely to be revealed as the person behind the mystery attacks on this week's WWE NXT Halloween Havoc special, reports Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Meltzer states that Hartwell would have been unveiled as the person behind the Scream mask if not for the recent COVID-19 outbreak at the WWE Performance Center. While there is currently no indication that Hartwell has tested positive for the illness currently ravaging the planet, she was absent from the show as a consequence of the outbreak, which occurred as WWE held an in-house practice live event at the PC last Friday.

Hartwell will likely be revealed as the attacker at a later date. Somebody else was under the disguise on Wednesday evening.

The assailant had a major impact on the night as a whole, costing Damian Priest the NXT North American Championship by attacking him during his bout with Johnny Gargano, allowing the challenger to take the win. They got involved later in the even too, though Shotzi Blackheart prevented them from impacting the Io Shirai vs. Candice LeRae Women's Title match.

Hartwell has formed a kayfabe alliance with Gargano and LeRae in recent weeks.
