North American Title on the line in Ladder Match

For the fourth time in the North American Championship’s history, the title will be on the line in an unforgiving Ladder Match.

The match was set up by a chaotic turn of events in which Solo Sikoa unofficially took Wes Lee’s place and won the North American Title from Carmelo Hayes before being forced to relinquish it a week later due to his unsanctioned appearance in the match. After setting things right with Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels, Hayes thought the title would be given back to him, but the WWE Hall of Famer had other plans.

The self-proclaimed “A Champion” would have an automatic spot in the upcoming Halloween Havoc Ladder Match, but the other four participants would earn their way into the bout by winning qualification matches over the next few weeks.

The debuting Oro Mensah was the first Superstar to punch his ticket followed by Lee the following week. Von Wagner would be the fourth Superstar to join the fray after an emphatic qualifying victory over Andre Chase. Nathan Frazer would be the final Superstar to punch his ticket to the match, as Frazer bested Axiom in the tie-breaking match of their trilogy.

Who will earn the final two spots, and can Hayes succeed where he failed at NXT Great American Bash in his second North American Title Ladder Match?
