The crossover between WWE's main roster and its developmental brand continued on Tuesday, as Raw superstar R-Truth made his way to NXT to welcome everyone to Halloween Havoc.

Yes, you read that right. Truth journeyed to Florida dressed as the Joker and tried to pump fans up for the seasonal PLE, but he was three days late, as Grayson Waller informed him. As you'd expect, the usual hijinks followed, with Truth telling Waller, "My bad" before things devolved from there. Truth then marvelled at Grayson's "British" accent, sending the Aussie into fits.

This finally led to Waller laying down a challenge for next week's NXT, only to try to get the jump on Truth, but the veteran and new NXT North American Champion Wes Lee (who was in the ring for a promo as well) dispatched the social media influencer. But the match is set for next week between Truth and Waller.

After being largely absent from Raw since the new regime took over, Truth turned up on Monday to unwittingly inject himself into the Miz/Johnny Gargano rivalry, leading to his first formal march on Raw in more than three months, a win over Miz.
