Ilja Dragunov Retains at Halloween Havoc, Baron Corbin Attacks – The second night of WWE NXT Halloween Havoc closed with an electrifying main event, as Ilja Dragunov successfully retained his NXT World Championship in an epic trilogy match against Carmelo Hayes.
In the closing moments of the match, it seemed that Hayes had Dragunov on the brink of defeat. However, the unexpected entrance of Trick Williams, accompanied by the crowd’s chants of “Whoop that Trick,” added an intriguing twist to the proceedings. A very serious-looking Williams slowly approached the ring, maintaining a hard stare at Hayes from outside.
The distraction created an opportunity for “The Mad Dragon” to secure the pinfall victory, thus retaining his NXT World Championship.
Following the match, Trick Williams confronted Carmelo Hayes inside the ring, setting up a potentially intense encounter. However, before viewers could witness the outcome of this confrontation, the camera shifted to reveal Baron Corbin attacking Ilja Dragunov backstage, accompanied by Corbin’s emphatic declaration, “I told you so!”
This thrilling conclusion to WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2023 left fans eagerly anticipating the future developments and rivalries in the NXT landscape.
