Raquel Gonzalez vs. Mandy Rose in a Trick Or Street Fight for the NXT Women's Championship (NXT Halloween Havoc 2021)
Heading into NXT Halloween Havoc 2021, Raquel Gonzalez has had a dominant reign as NXT Women's Champion, defeating the likes of Mercedes Martinez, Ember Moon, and Franky Monet along the way. Mandy Rose and Toxic Attraction targeted the champ and looked to add the top prize in the women's division to their stable.
The spin of the wheel landed on a Trick Or Street Fight, and this was the type of smoke and mirrors that this contest needed. The ladies used an assortment of weapons, from steel chairs to kendo sticks to fire extinguishers. After a spear through a table on Rose, Gonzalez looked set to win until the returning Dakota Kai under a hood cost her the title.
Mandy Rose being crowned the NXT Women's Champion felt like a critical moment here. She has returned to the brand and found more success than she ever did on the main roster. This win gave Toxic Attraction all the gold in NXT coming out of Halloween Havoc 2021. The finish also sets up Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez to resume their rivalry without the title now.
Star rating: ***
MSK vs. Imperium in a Lumber-Jack O'Lantern Match for the NXT Tag Team Championships (NXT Halloween Havoc 2021)
MSK looked to add another successful title defense to their NXT Tag Team Championship reign at NXT Halloween Havoc 2021 against Imperium. The spin of the wheel made this a Lumber-Jack O'Lantern Match. It felt like a rather unnecessary stipulation, especially with the superstars not doing much to keep the action inside the squared circle and leaving before the finish.
However, the two tag teams delivered a quality bout that escalated in intensity as it went on. It was an evenly matched contest, with Imperium's power blending nicely with MSK's high-flying arsenal. Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel isolated Wes Lee towards the end, giving him a brainbuster and the Imperial Bomb to win the NXT Tag Team Titles for the second time.
Star rating: ***3/4
