Bron Breakker returns

NXT Champion Bron Breakker defeated Ilja Dragunov and JD McDonagh in a triple threat match in the main event of Halloween Havoc. 

In an interview from last week, Apollo Crews revealed that Breakker would be a guest on the show the following week. As Grayson Waller was now behind him and will be competing for the championship he set his sights on when he returned to NXT earlier this year, he also indicated wanting to contend for it.

On this show, Bron commended Wes Lee for working his way up the ranks to win the North American Championship. He also praised Julius Creed for defending the career of his brother.  Breakker was interrupted by NXT Tag Team Champions Kit Wilson and Elton Prince of Pretty Deadly, who cracked jokes about Breakker.

Breakker asked Pretty Deadly what they wanted. Wilson argued that they were deserving of greater ceremony than Bron or Wes. Wes acts as if he’s in a Lifetime series, according to Wilson. When Wes Lee arrived, he urged Pretty Deadly to stop talking. Prince stated that he didn’t respect Wes and that they needed to discuss Pretty Deadly right away. Bron challenges them to a title match with Lee being his partner. 

The match saw Carmelo Hayes knock Lee off the top rope and Lee was pinned. Post-match, Von Wagner laid out Breakker while Crews looked on.

The ref called for the bell when the show cut back and Alicia Taylor announced Waller as the winner via ref stoppage. Post-match, Waller took the mic and bragged about beating a veteran. He said NXT is Waller’s house and ain’t nothing gonna change that.

Schism (Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, Jagger Reid, and Raine) had a sit-down interview.

Raine was unmasked last week and revealed as the newest member of Schism, after a mysterious hooded figure had been spotted on NXT for several weeks. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s oldest daughter is Raine (Simone Johnson). In her debut, Raine cut a brief promo.

On this show, Gacy said that Raine chose them and not the other way around because her entire life, people have been asking and wanting something from her. The group talked about how fans compare them to other groups and none of that is true. They said that they are not responsible for Vic’s reactions. Raine said that no one brainwashed her and the group can do so much more together than on her own. She said that Cameron Grimes doesn’t get to turn them down and get away with it. Gacy will wrestle Grimes next week.

Odyssey Jones is back

MJF Confronted William Regal

Tony Schiavone was set to interview Blackpool Combat Club’s William Regal but was quickly interrupted by MJF. Maxwell got a huge pop from the crowd and told Regal to put the brass knuckles away because he is here to talk.

MJF said that Regal owes him the time to tell a story. Maxwell told the crowd to bare with him and they booed. Maxwell

When he was 19 years old, he was pulled to the side at Create a Pro by his trainers Pat Buck and Brian Myers. They told him that he got a gig in WWE as an extra and drove to the Barclay’s Center.

Maxwell noted that the extras were greeted by Sir William Regal and he told them that they will have a try out matches before the show. MJF added that Arn Anderson, Dean Malenko, Adam Pearce, and William Regal watched the match.

MJF shouted that he wasn’t fighting for a contract, he was fighting for his life because professional wrestling is his life. After his match, Regal brought MJF to a separate room and gave him three minutes to sell himself. After the three minutes, Regal told MJF that he was going to get him a job in WWE.

Regal then asked how old MJF was and he said “19”. Maxwell claimed that Regal said “kid, you are much too young” and his dreams evaporated. The crowd loudly chanted “you f*cked up!” at Regal.

MJF added that Regal put his name on Claudio Castagnoli, Bryan Danielson, and Jon Moxley, and told MJF that he sees something in you. Regal told Maxwell to go home, work his ass off, send William a match and a promo.

He called Regal a “son of a bitch” and pulled out his phone to read an email from William years ago. “Max, I’m a very busy man, and I’ve just had to sit for minutes watching you “show me your acting” skills” and that WWE exclusively hires the best athletes. Regal smirked as MJF shouted that Regal tried to squandered his dream.

MJF claimed that email made him want to kill himself and regrouped for a moment in the corner. Maxwell called Regal a “sad withered old man” that got fired and snuck into AEW like a “flea-ridden rat”. Friedman shouted that he’s a generational talent and WWE will be willing to “take several human lives” to sign him in 2024.

Friedman added that Regal has become nothing more than a joke and he’s about to become the AEW World Champion because he’s better than you and you know it. MJF whipped down the microphone as the crowd cheered and Regal just stood in silence.

William Regal grabbed the microphone and told MJF that he was casting him aside and claimed that he wanted to light a fire under him. Regal added that if an email is what MJF has held onto for seven years, then he’s had it easy. William called MJF “sunshine” and mocked him for putting his hands on “Mr. Shiavone”.

Regal told MJF that he’s let him down and all he does is take shortcuts. William turned his back on MJF and told him to show that he’s The Devil. MJF put on the Dynamite Diamond Ring and was about to strike William but couldn’t do it. William said “you still have a lot to prove” and dropped the microphone to end the segment.

The Acclaimed Sent Out A Warning Ahead Of Rampage

The Acclaimed will be putting their titles on the line this Friday on Rampage, the “scissoring” trademark will also be on the line in the match.

There Is Friction Within The Blackpool Combat Club

Bryan Danielson and Wheeler Yuta were interviewed by Renee Paquette backstage. Danielson said it sucked to lose to Chris Jericho in his ROH Championship match because the title means a lot to him.

Danielson said he has a lot of high hopes for Daniel Garcia, and he can surpass a lot of things he’s done in his career. Bryan claimed that Garcia can be the best wrestler he’s ever seen with the proper guidance.

Wheeler Yuta wondered how Danielson couldn’t see this coming, while Yuta and Castagnoli saw it coming from a mile away. Bryan mocked Danielson and said “I guess I shouldn’t have met my hero” before storming off.

Back in the ring, Jericho hit a Crossbody as The Boys stole Hager’s hat. Jake got angry and beat all The Boys down outside the ring before putting his goofy hat back on. Jericho rolled up Dalton for a near fall and then tried to apply The Walls but Dalton countered into a cradle for a two count.

Dalton then locked in a submission hold in the middle of the ring. Chris started arguing with Aubrey Edward after Dalton reached the ropes and the challenger capitalized with a slam for a two count. Jericho and Castle traded chops from their knees and then battled to their feet.

Jon Moxley hit Hangman Page with a Clothesline and the trainer got into the ring to check on the challenger. The match was then stopped short apparently due to injury and Jon Moxley was named the winner.

Jon Moxley spoke after the match and said that he will give Hangman another shot when he’s healthy again. Moxley noted that MJF was talking a lot of “sh*t” and joked that the Yankees didn’t go into extra innings and they still have some TV time. Moxley called out MJF and Maxwell’s music hit.

MJF dragged referee Bryce Remsburg toward the ring and had the chip in his hand. MJF opted to grab the microphone again and told Moxley that he wants him at 110%. Maxwell announced that he is cashing his chip in at Full Gear and called Regal a piece of sh*t. MJF added “for the first time in his miserable life he’s going to earn it” and William laughed. MJF fired up the crowd to close the show.

Moxley joked that they can’t get a microphone to work and the show is going downhill. Jon added that MJF has earned his first going directly up his ass, and his throat being squeezed until his head pops off. Jon added that he will show everyone at Full Gear that it is dangerous getting into the ring with him and he’s the best in the world.
