It will be Wes Lee vs. Ethan Page vs. Je’Von Evans with the winner advancing to face champion Trick Williams at the Sunday, October 27 PLE.Stephanie Vaquer arrived in NXT last Tuesday and will have her first televised match tonight, taking on Wren Sinclair.

His newly won title is propped up on the table next to a glass of wine. A lone spotlight shines down on “The Don” as he begins the show with an opening monologue.D’Angelo says he wants to toast his glass to the former champion, the man who D’Angelo says broke him. D’Angelo goes on to say he baited Oba Femi, and D’Angelo used his pride against him. Tony D. then did the unthinkable and beat Femi for the title. As “The Don” lifts his glass in a toast to Oba Femi, the theme song for the former champion blares over the loud speakers. Oba Femi enters the sound stage to confront Tony D’Angelo. After the entrance of Femi, the house lights are up as D’Angelo stands in the ring to meet Femi. Flanking Tony D. are Channing Lorenzo, Adriana Rizzo and Luca Crusifino.Femi has to admit that D’Angelo got him. Femi congratulates D’Angelo on winning once, but it will not happen again. Femi says he is reclaiming his title at Halloween Havoc, and Femi adds that The Family will not be there (meaning they are likely barred from ringside). Femi exits the ring, and goes to the spin the wheel, and make the deal.The wheels stops on TLS, which is Tables, Ladder and Scares. I get it, because of Halloween and all, but did they really need a silly name for such a serious rematch. Then again, I get scared for the wrestlers’ safety during most TLC matches, so maybe “scares” is more accurate.Byron Saxton interviews Oro Mensah, ahead of the Gentlemen’s Duel. Lexis King interrupts Mensah, and King continues the pompous gimmick. King promises the best man will win.Stephanie Vaquer defeated Wren Sinclair (with No Quarter Catch Crew)Vaquer pinned Sinclair after a her finisher where she does a package piledriver into an ushigoroshi. Vaquer looks strong in her television debut, but Sinclair got some time to shine. Sinclair even got a near fall, but Vaquer cuts off Sinclair and catches her with a dragon screw. From there, they go home into the finish. Vaquer got to showcase a lot of her offense, as this was character development for Vaquer. The live studio audience was receptive to her, and even more so after the angle that followed the match.NXT Champion Roxanne Perez &amp; Cora Jade run down to jump Vaquer. They begin to pummel and stomp Vaquer, when Giulia runs down for the save. Giulia fights off the heels, as Vaquer joins her in clearing the ring of the heel duo. Perez &amp; Jade powder, but a tag match seems near. Vaquer would go on to issue the challenge for the match at Halloween Havoc.NXT Champion Trick Williams chats backstage with NXT Women’s North American Champion Kelani Jordan, and they are overly friendly with each other.Lexis King defeated Oro Mensah in a Gentlemen’s Duel matchKing pinned Mensah with a cradle bridge. The rules of this gimmick match includes the old NWA rule where a wrestler cannot throw their opponent over the top rope. Also, a three count rule instead of a five count. No fighting on the floor, and they cannot strike their opponent on when they have four points of contact on the mat. Although it was his own rules, they teased King being disqualified for almost throwing Mensah over the top rope. This was a pretty good match with the rules in place. For the finish, Mensah blocks The Coronation, and Mensah gets a near fall with a crucifix. King escapes and uses his feet to cradle Mensah, and King bridges into a pinning combination. The ref counted three, and Mensah wins the match.Cedric Alexander &amp; Je’Von Evans are chatting backstage with the NXT Tag Team Champions, Nathan Frazier &amp; Axiom. In walks Wes Lee to interrupt, and gets into an argument with Evans ahead of them meeting in the triple threat main event.After a commercial break, the show comes back with a series of video packages and plugs. Nikkita Lyons is the focus of a hype video. Her opponent tonight, Lola Vice, gets an entrance before the show cuts again to a commercial break. The entrance of Lyons comes after the break, in what is Lyons return bout on NXT television. Nikkita Lyons defeated Lola ViceLyons pinned Vice, thanks in large part to interference by Jaida Parker. Although Lyons won, the heat was more on Parker, as Vice against Parker is an ongoing program.Just before they go home, Vice fires up with a series of kicks. Vice signals and executes a hip attack. In runs Jaida Parker to interfere. Parker distracts Vice, and Vice knocks Parker off the ring apron. The distraction allows Lyons to hit Vice with a superkick. At ringside, Parker hits Vice with a hip attack. Vice is rolled back into the ring, where Lyons executes a Vader splash. Lyons then covers Vice for a pinfall. Meeting with NXT GM Ava in her office is Stephanie Vaquer and Giulia. Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley &amp; Jaxmyn Nyx) barge in to interrupt them. Ava offers a North American title match to Fatal Influence if they can beat Vaquer &amp; Giulia in a match next Tuesday. Fatal Influence agree. Freebird rules I guess, as we do not known which two of Fatal Influence will face Vaquer &amp; Giulia.Riley Osborne gets a full entrance with Thea Hail, and the show cuts to commercial. Enjoy while you can, kid. Ridge Holland arrives after the show returns from the break, and he proceeds to pummel Osborne.Ridge Holland defeated Riley Osborne (with Thea Hail)Holland pinned Osborne in a decisive win. A post-match beatdown by Holland leads to the surprise return of Andre Chase. He runs in to make the save. Osborne strikes before the bell, as he dives on Holland during Holland’s entrance. It was all downhill for Osborne from there, but he looked good in the ring while putting over Holland. Setting up the finish, Holland does a gutwrench into a Sid Vicious powerbomb. Holland then hoists up Osborne for the Redeemer DDT, and Holland easily covers Osborne for a pinfall.Osborne got some hope spots, and he also executed a tornado DDT on the floor. They fought near the announce desk, which would foreshadow a key moment in the post-match attack. Holland would attack Osborne again after the bell. Holland is pummeling him, and Holland teasing putting Osborne through the announce desk. Suddenly, Andre Chase runs down and is a house of fire. Chase sends Holland packing, and Chase sends Holland out of the ring. Byron Saxton is interviewing Tatum Paxley, and they are discussing Paxley’s feud with Wendy Choo. Jaida Parker, flanked by OTM, interrupt the interview, and she steals Saxton away for a promo of her own. Parker is cutting a promo on Vice when Paxley takes exception to Parker’s interruption. This would seem to set up a match between the two.Brooks Jensen (with Shawn Spears) defeated Ashante “Thee” AdonisJensen pinned Adonis after a draping DDT and a few distractions. Karmen Petrovic causes a distraction at ringside, and Shawn Spears also interferes to set up the finish.This match itself was set up earlier in the show with a skit where Jensen stomps on roses that Adonis had given to Karmen Pertrovic. She appears at ringside during the match with a bag. Petrovic empties the bag on the ring apron, and the tattered rose pedals fall out. This distracts Adonis, and ultimately costs him the match. But maybe he at least has romance with Petrovic, who appears to be turning heel.For the finish, Adonis is already distracted by Petrovic as he climbs the turnbuckles. Spears jumps on the apron and grabs the top rope, which trips up Adonis. He is crotched on the top turnbuckle, and Jensen strikes with a draping DDT. Jensen then covers Adonis for a three count.Another video package hypes the arrival of DELTA, although she is still not identified by name.Lexis King is gloating about his win tonight with Charlie Dempsey and company. King passe by Tony D’Angelo and The Family. Luca Crusifino wants to face Oba Femi in a singles match, and “The Don” gives his blessing to the match. Iyo Sky &amp; Kairi Sane against Jakara Jackson &amp; Lash Legend in a tag team match is announced for next Tuesday on NXT. Another women’s tag match is confirmed for next week, with Giulia &amp; Vaquer teaming against two members of Fatal Influence. Ethan Page defeated Je’Von Evans and Wes Lee in a triple threat number one contender’s matchPage steals a pin from Evans, and Page pins Evans in the process. Clever finish to put heat on Page, while keeping Evans strong. Lots of action and other clever spots, albeit at a rapid pace. Page ambushes Trick Williams in a post-match angle where they spin the wheel. Just before the show is cutting to its final commercial break, Page backdrops Lee on the announce desk. Page is proud of himself, thinking he is clever. All of a sudden, Evans comes flying over the top rope to wipe out Page with a dive. The show cuts to commercials as Evans takes his turn to boast.The fast-paced high spots continue when the show returns from the break. Page begins to run roughshod on both Lee and Evans. Page gets a near falls where Lee flew in to break up the count. Lee soon some time to shine, as gets a near falls. That leads to the studio audience starting a “N-X-T” chant. All three fall for a triple down. The studio audience again start “N-X-T”, along with some “fight forever” because why not?Evans leaps to the top rope to execute a great Spanish Fly. Evans springs off the ropes to deliver a jumping kick for a close near fall. Evans gets another near fall on Lee, after a springboarding into a cutter. They set up a Tower of Down as they go home. Evans sticks the landing. After landing on his feet, Evans boots Page out of the ring with a superkick. Evans then leaps off the top rope with a tornillo splash. Evans seemingly has victory in his grasp when Page jumps in to roll-up Evans with a cradle for a three count. Page steals the pinfall, and becomes number one contender in doing so.Page cuts a promo after the match, when Page calls out NXT Champion Trick Williams. Out comes Williams to face off with Page. They spin the wheel to make the deal. The wheel stops on “Devil’s Playground” for their rematch. So whatever that means. Weapons I am sure, and no disqualification. Another serious rematch is made silly with a cheesy gimmick match, and this one happens to involve the brand’s top men’s championship. I guess it is still for a good cause, which is a Halloween-themed PLE. Trick is cool with the gimmick match, and he poses with the NXT title. Page cheap shots Trick and waylays him with a lighting fixture. Page grabs the title belt and stands over Trick as the show goes off the air.Overall, this was good show. However, they never explained the wheel gimmick that well for those that are likely unaware. Likewise, the wheel gimmick came off so silly. It detracts from the current feuds instead of complimenting them. </div></body>
