Even with the best efforts of Fatal Influence, Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer picked up the big win. Kelani Jordan eliminated Jazzmyn Nyx at ringside, and Giulia and Vaquer hit the G-Trigger into the package neckbreaker on Jacy Jayne to seal it.
Fatal Influence spun the wheel for a Spinner’s Choice match at Halloween Havoc. The lights went out, and Zaria appeared on the stage as the broadcast cut out.
Giulia and Vaquer’s signings did not just add top stars in NXT’s women’s division. It also gave the division veterans to work with that can elevate the roster around them.
This was clear in a tag team match that made Henley and Jayne look fantastic in defeat. Henley and Jayne are far from rookies, but they have rarely worked with talent that move at this speed and hit this hard.
This was by far the best match of the night. It was more competitive than expected, which was for the best. Fatal Influence passed an important test with flying colors.
It’s a shame Zaria’s arrival was cut short. NXT probably should have waited for Halloween Havoc with no overrun possible on The CW.
Result
Giulia and Vaquer def. Fatal Influence by pinfall.
