Ahead of the show, Cody Rhodes hinted that his involvement with the brand wasn’t completely over after serving as General Manager on October 10th. As it turned out, this saw Rhodes add Trick Williams to a Triple Threat Match involving Carmelo Hayes, Baron Corbin, and Dijak. The winner of which would face Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Title at Halloween Havoc.

However, Williams never made it to the ring after being attacked by a mystery assailant. Hayes was shown tending to the star, despite their earlier tension.

In the end, it was Hayes who won the main event, booking his rematch with Dragunov.
