Rain then fought back with an X-Factor on the apron, followed by lariats, a roundhouse kick, a German suplex, and a spinning spinebuster. Monroe then reversed the exchange into an O’Connor roll, using the ropes for leverage to win.
Saquon Shugars vs Sean Legacy

The action intensified as Legacy landed a shiranui and a Northern Lights bomb for a near-fall. He later attempted a springboard 450 splash, but Shugars raised his knees and hit an F12. Legacy survived, escaped another backbreaker attempt, and finished Shugars with the standing Spanish Fly.
Myles Borne and Tavion Heights Set for Weapons Wild Match
Myles Borne and Tavion Heights traded accusations in the ring as security guards tried to keep them apart. Heights questioned Borne’s loyalty, while Myles accused Tavion of being selfish and taking credit for his success. Borne also pointed out that he had won the North American Championship after leaving Heights behind. Tavion responded by reminding Myles of his strength under pressure and his Olympic background, but Borne told him to stop relying on his past achievements. The argument soon turned into a brawl, with security struggling to separate them. Danhausen then spun the Halloween Havoc wheel, revealing that their match would be a Weapons Wild Match.

Swipe Right and Myka Lockwood later interfered, helping Drake gain an advantage. Both wrestlers traded strikes and came close to winning, with Prosper surviving Drake’s springboard moonsault side Russian legsweep and Ace Crusher combination. Prosper then hit a Poison Frankensteiner, but Kam Hendrix distracted him near the turnbuckles. Drake capitalised with a Busaiku knee to secure the victory. After the match, Vanity Project celebrated while Hendrix confronted Prosper.
Tony D’Angelo and Grayson Waller Close WWE NXT
