The chaos didnâ€t stop when SmackDown went off the air this week—if anything, it escalated.

Cody Rhodes defended his Undisputed WWE Championship in the nightâ€s main event against Bronson Reed. What started as a title match quickly spiraled into a brawl. Bron Breakker and Logan Paul hit the ring during the action, blindsiding Rhodes just as he was setting Reed up for a major spot through the announce table. The interference led to a three-on-one beatdown on the champion.

The Usos ran out next to even the odds, and the teams clashed in a heated standoff. That balance quickly shifted again when Drew McIntyre stormed the ring. He attacked Jimmy Uso and nailed Jey with a Claymore, leaving Cody vulnerable once again. After the assault, McIntyre shook hands with Paul Heyman at ringside—officially aligning himself with the Bloodline for the upcoming WarGames match.

Rhodes needed help after the show, with Jimmy Uso assisting him to his feet before the two exited alongside Jey. But the action didnâ€t stop there.

A post-show dark match featured IYO SKY facing off against Roxanne Perez. Rhea Ripley accompanied SKY to the ring, while Raquel Rodriguez stood in the corner of Perez. As the match reached its final moments, Raquel tried to get involved by attacking SKY from ringside. However, Ripley immediately stepped in.

Instead of letting the interference fly, Ripley grabbed Rodriguez and physically threw her back into the ring. She followed up by hitting her with a devastating clothesline, taking her completely out of the equation. The interference backfired on Raquel, giving SKY the opening she needed to regain control of the match. SKY capitalized and scored the victory over Perez, then celebrated with Ripley to close out the night.

With Survivor Series approaching and WarGames looming, the alliances and rivalries are becoming crystal clear—and Rhea Ripley isnâ€t waiting for TV time to send her message.

Do you think Rhea Ripleyâ€s post-show involvement is a sign of more dominance to come from Judgment Day? Let us know in the comments below and tell us which side youâ€re on for WarGames.

Jeff Hardy might be known for his daredevil moves, but even the Charismatic Enigma isnâ€t immune to the wear and tear that comes with those risks.

After a wild performance at WWE NXT Halloween Havoc, fans were worried about Jeffâ€s condition—especially following a scary ladder spot during the Broken Rules match.

Matt Hardy addressed those concerns on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, confirming that Jeff did experience a bit of discomfort but reassured everyone that it wasnâ€t serious. When asked about the bump in question, Matt first joked there were “a couple†of rough ones, but zeroed in on the Doomsday Device spot as the most concerning.

“The Doomsday—I think he kind of jerked his neck a little bit, and it was a little tight at the end of it. I think heâ€s—I think heâ€s gonna be all good.â€

Matt also praised how the match came together on screen, noting that it “looked better than it felt†while working it live. He admitted that chaotic multi-man matches often feel messier in real-time because of how much is going on, but he was pleased with the end result after watching it back.

“Sometimes thereâ€s just things youâ€re doing—especially in tag matches—where youâ€re not aware of everything thatâ€s going on… youâ€re down selling, youâ€re hurt, and youâ€re just not sure how everything looks until you see the match in totality.â€

Despite the scare, Jeff seems to have escaped without any major injury. The Hardys gave fans a throwback performance filled with chaos, risk, and resilience—just as theyâ€ve done for decades. Jeff Hardy may be sore, but heâ€s still standing. And if Mattâ€s confidence is any indication, it wonâ€t be long before heâ€s jumping off another ladder.

“WWE NXT” star Ethan Page suffered a legitimate injury at the weekend’s Halloween Havoc show, during his match with El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr.

Page defended his NXT North American Championship in a Day of the Dead match against the AAA star, where he was accidentally busted open. “PWInsider Elite” has reported that Page being busted open wasn’t a part of the original plan, and that it happened when he hit himself against the ring steps accidentally. Despite the injury, the report claims that Page is expected to return to the ring and won’t miss any time away.

The brutal match between Page and Wagner Jr. saw the two exchange blows using various objects. Page, the current NXT North American Champion, even pulled a part of Wagner Jr.’s mask, which angered the Mexican star. Page eventually got the win after using a powder to blind his opponent before landing the Twisted Grin to win and continue his reign with the title, which he won in May.Â

Since winning the title from Ricky Saints, Page has successfully retained his title against the likes of Tyler Breeze, Tavion Heights, Mustafa Ali, and Santino Marella, before defeating El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr over the weekend.Â

Sol Ruca may have lost her NXT Womenâ€s North American Championship at Halloween Havoc, but sheâ€s not pointing fingers. Despite Zaria coming up short while defending the title in Rucaâ€s place, the injured star has made it clear—thereâ€s no heat between them.

Zaria stepped in to defend the gold after Ruca was sidelined with an injury, but things didnâ€t go as planned. During a chaotic moment at ringside, Blake Monroe knocked Rucaâ€s crutch out from under her, causing Zaria to get distracted. Monroe took full advantage, hitting a devastating Double Arm DDT outside the ring and finishing Zaria off with another one inside for the three count.

Ruca was left looking heartbroken on the outside, and fans immediately started speculating if this could be the end of the “ZaRuca†pairing. But later, Ruca took to social media to silence the breakup talk, posting a photo of Zaria with a simple message, “Sheâ€s still the coolest.†The message seems to confirm that thereâ€s still mutual respect—and maybe even unfinished business—for the duo.

With Zaria now officially out of championship contention and Ruca still recovering, itâ€s unclear whatâ€s next for either woman. But if Rucaâ€s post is anything to go by, the team isnâ€t done just yet.

The Hardy Boyz couldnâ€t hold onto the gold at WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2025, but Matt Hardy made it clear their story is far from finished. After he and Jeff Hardy lost the NXT Tag Team Championships to DarkState in a brutal Broken Rules Match, Matt took to social media to share an emotional message with fans.

In his post on Twitter/X, Matt thanked the Arizona crowd for their support and expressed gratitude to everyone whoâ€s stood by the Hardys during their NXT run. He also reflected on the chaotic match and the relentless nature of their opponents.

“Thank you for having our back tonight at @WWENXT #HalloweenHavoc, Arizona! You guys & gals were WONDERFUL! Weâ€re so sorry we werenâ€t able to retain the #WWENXT Tag Titles. The State of Dark swarm was relentless & never-ending tonight.â€

Even in defeat, Matt made it clear that this is only another chapter in their story. He promised that he and Jeff still have plenty left to accomplish together—and also took a heartfelt moment to honor the late Bray Wyatt, real name Windham Rotunda.

“Our journey is nowhere near over, myself & Brother Nero have SO much left to do. Very happy we could pay homage to Bray tonight – We love you & miss you, Windham.â€

Matt and Jeff Hardy may have lost the NXT Tag Team Titles, but they left it all in the ring—and fans felt every moment of it. From paying tribute to Bray Wyatt to crashing through tables like only they can, the Hardys proved theyâ€re still built for big-match chaos. DarkState mightâ€ve walked out with the gold, but the Hardys walked out with the crowdâ€s respect—and theyâ€re not going quietly.

Ricky Saints defeated Trick Williams at Halloween Havoc on Saturday to retain the NXT Championship.

Several weeks ago, Saints and Williams joined forces as part of Team NXT in the four-on-four men’s elimination match against Team TNA on the NXT vs. TNA Showdown edition of NXT.

Saints was chosen by NXT general manager Ava as the captain of Team NXT, which angered Williams, who felt he was deserving of the honor given his status as an NXT Superstar who was the reigning TNA world champion at the time.

During the latter stages of the match, Williams walked out, leaving Saints to fend for himself. Saints was unable to overcome Mike Santana and Moose, as Team TNA came out on top.

Trick went on to drop the TNA world title to Santana at Bound for Glory, but it wasn’t long before he was granted another shot at championship gold.

On the Oct. 14 episode of NXT, an enraged Saints called out Williams, but rather than coming to the ring to confront Saints, Trick responded from the backstage area.

Later in the show, Saints was laid out backstage at the hands of Williams, setting the stage for their NXT Championship match.

On the go-home episode of NXT before Halloween Havoc, both Saints and Williams cut fiery promos on each other. Trick hit Ricky with a sucker punch, but Saints stood tall to end the show.

That momentum worked to Saints’ advantage at Halloween Havoc, as he got the better of Williams and retained in his first title defense since winning it from Oba Femi at No Mercy.

Jacy Jayne met her match at “Halloween Havoc,” when she faced the unhinged Tatum Paxley in singles competition. Despite plenty of early offense, ringside interference, and Izzi Dame’s conflicting loyalties, the stars ultimately for Paxley to deliver a Cemetery Driver, and put Jayne to rest.

Saturday’s women’s world title match began in the champion’s favor, and while the challenger occasionally showed brief flashes of life, Jayne maintained match dominance. An early face-first trip into the steel skeleton of the ring’s underside only worsened Paxley’s title campaign, and Fatal Influence’s newest, Laney Reid, capitalized by choking a cornered Paxley on the bottom rope prior to Jayne’s Cannonball Senton. Despite Paxley’s responding Fisherman’s Suplex, Fatal Influence continued to dominate, with Jayne nearly securing a victory following an Avalanche Neckbreaker. Shawn Spears ran interference next, as he helped Paxley get her foot on the ropes to force a break.

War broke out at ringside following Spears’ move, as Reid flattening Spears and Niko Vance with a top-rope Crossbody while Fallon Henley swung around the ringpost to knock Izzi Dame’s teeth out. The referee ejected the two warring factions, much to Jayne’s distress.

“I need you guys!” Jayne shouted. “What am I gonna do?”

With the playing field leveled, Paxley managed to meet Jayne’s performance, with a simultaneous Double Dropkick leaving both women spent. The Culling reappeared at ringside, and in the midst of the chaos, Dame bolted towards the NXT Women’s title. Title in hand, Dame prepared to strike Paxley, but a dodge from the challenger led to Jayne receiving a faceful of gold. Paxley capitalized with a Cemetery Driver for the win.

While Spears and Vance immediately ran to celebrate with Paxley, Dame was less enthusiastic. The new champion ignored Dame’s presence in the ring, choosing instead to celebrate the end of Jayne’s 152-day reign at her hands.

Tatum Paxley beat Jacy Jayne at Halloween Havoc on Saturday to win the NXT Women’s Championship for the first time.

With Jayne beating all challengers by hook or by crook since winning the NXT women’s title back in May, the entire NXT women’s roster and even some TNA stars were recently given the opportunity to become No. 1 contender.

On the Oct. 14 episode of NXT, a 21-woman battle royal was held to determine Jayne’s challenger for the NXT Women’s Championship at Halloween Havoc.

In the closing moments of the match, Paxley locked Jordynne Grace into a sleeper hold on the apron. Paxley’s stablemate from The Culling, Izzi Dame, attempted to clothesline Grace out, but in doing so, the momentum took her out of the ring as well.

That left Paxley as the last woman standing and the winner of the battle royal, earning her the first televised NXT women’s title opportunity of her career.

The following week, NXT kicked off with Tatum and the other members of The Culling celebrating her win, only for Fatal Influence to interrupt. After a war of words, a tag team match was booked for later in the night.

Jayne teamed with the newest member of Fatal Influence, Lainey Reid, against Paxley and Dame with Fallon Henley looking on from outside the ring.

Not surprisingly, Henley got involved in the match by grabbing onto Dame when the referee was distracted, which allowed Jayne to hit Paxley with the Rolling Encore for the win.

Paxley managed to bounce back at Halloween Havoc, though, scoring the biggest victory of her career and winning her first title of any kind.

Ethan Page made his 8th successful defense of the NXT men’s North American Championship Saturday at “WWE NXT” Halloween Havoc 2025, defeating AAA Latin American Champion El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. in a Day of the Dead match. Wagner Jr.’s Latin American title was not on the line, meaning he still holds that belt, but he failed to become a double champion in the second match of the premium live event taking place in Prescott Valley, Arizona.

The Day of the Dead stipulation was chosen by Wagner Jr., and he was the first to take advantage of its hardcore elements, spending the first portion of the match hitting Page with various objects (at one point dropkicking a steel chair into Page’s butt). Page eventually was able to take control of the match, however, dominating the contest until he chose to disrespect Wagner Jr. by tearing at the luchador’s mask, ultimately exposing the top of his head by ripping away the topmost part of the mask by the eyeholes. The move enraged Wagner, who fought back into the match and got several close near-falls, including one after hitting a coast-to-coast dropkick to a garbage can propped against Page’s head, one after hitting a rana on Page off the top rope into a chair, and another after hitting a huge moonsault. Page kicked out of everything, however; Wagner Jr. wasn’t so lucky, as the match ended in a three count after Page hit the Twisted Grin off the top rope through a table.

The victory extends Page’s title reign, which stands at 152 days as of this writing; Page won the title from current NXT Champion Ricky Saints back in May.

Je’Von Evans and TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater teamed together to pick up a win over AAA stars Mr. Iguana and LA Parka at “WWE NXT” Halloween Havoc.Â

Evans and Slater fought each other to a no-contest for the X-Division title at Bound for Glory before looking to team together after Slater’s subsequent title defense on “NXT,” with Iguana and Parka challenging them to a match on Saturday night. The tag bout opened the weekend’s event in Arizona, lasting almost 18 minutes and comprised of back-and-forth action between the teams.

As one might have expected, there was a lot of Iguana-centric offense from the aptly named luchador, tossing the plush pet towards his opponent either as a distraction or a mind game; Evans and Slater played into the idea that the soft toy was a sentient iguana and were horrified of it, playing hot potato with it before Iguana took them out at ringside.Â

He continued to use it as a weapon, with Slater threatening to punch it, getting told not to by Iguana, passing the toy back to him only to then get whipped with it. But Iguana was thrown into their closest chance of winning, Evans bundling him into Parka as he made the cover on Slater.Â

When all was said and done, Evans and Slater worked together to take out both their opponents – Evans flying over the ropes to level Parka on the outside, and Slater delivering the 450 Swanton Bomb to Iguana for the winning pinfall.Â
