As much as Johnny Gargano loathes wheels, The Wheel proved to be his best friend at NXT Halloween Havoc. Competing in a Devil's Playground Match with no count-outs, no disqualifications, falls count anywhere and anything goes, Johnny Wrestling found himself shellshocked in the early going as Damian Priest dominated, dealing Gargano a significant blow when he struck his foot with his trusty nightstick. 

But the rules ultimately worked in Gargano's favor. A man in a robe and a mask emerged with a lead pipe to attack Priest before handing Gargano a tombstone, which he smashed over Priest. The blow sent The Archer of Infamy flying off the stage, making Gargano's second North American Championship almost academic.

Kyle O'Reilly seemingly found a surprising ally in the fight against Pat McAfee and the new NXT Tag Team Champions, as Pete Dunne made a stunning return to NXT with two steel chairs in tow. But Dunne instead blasted O'Reilly in the back with a chair before the entire crew commenced what was little more than a 4-on-1 mugging.

Cameron Grimes quickly came to regret his recent attacks on Dexter Lumis before the Haunted House of Terror Match, offering to even forfeit to NXT General Manager William Regal. But Regal didn't oblige, ordering him to take a seedy van transport to an unknown location where NXT's Tortured Artist unleashed unimaginable horrors on The Technical Savage. Grimes evaded a variety of ghouls and Lumis himself before fleeing back to the Capitol Wrestling Center.

Io Shirai made a jaw-dropping entrance to the ring as Poppy performed "Scary Mask," setting the stage for an epic encounter. With The Wheel landing on Tables, Ladders and Scares, both Superstars made ample use of the instruments available, with Shirai even hitting The Poison Pixie with a stray limb at one point.

The Genius of the Sky dominated much of the bout, throwing a chair at LeRae's face, pinning her head against the steps with a Meteora, though LeRae got even with a gigantic swinging neckbreaker off the apron through two tables. But for a second time in the evening, an unknown assailant appeared in a robe and mask, attempting to help LeRae climb her way to victory. Halloween Havoc host Shotzi Blackheart joined the fray, upending the interference and clearing the way for Shirai to launch LeRae from a ladder through another ladder on the outside of the ring and grab her title.
