NXT Halloween Havoc saw a new champion crowned but their celebration was cut short as the brand’s newest star Zaria attacked.

The odds were against NXT Women’s North American Champion Kelani Jordan at Halloween Havoc as Fatal Influence was given spinner’s choice for their title shot.

Jordan had no idea which of the fiendish trio she’d be facing but it turned out all three members of Fatal Influence would have their shot at gold in a gauntlet match.

Kelani Jordan saw off Jazmyn Nyx before also defeating Jacy Jayne leaving Fallon Henley as Fatal Influence’s only chance of leaving the show with championship gold. Jayne and Nyx made their presence felt during that match allowing Henley to counter a 450 splash and nail a shining wizard to win her first solo title in WWE.

Fallon Henley attempted to put the rest of the roster on notice after her landmark win but Fatal Influence soon had company.

The lights went out and Zaria’s vignette played while the three women wondered where she was. Zaria soon appeared behind them, laying out all of Fatal Influence before dropping the new NXT Women’s North American Champion with an F5.

Another champion was attacked at Halloween Havoc but Trick Williams was able to count on a WWE Hall of Famer to make the save.
