NXT and ECWCW HALLOWEEN HAVOC, Year 3

Match 1. Dallas Page vs. Roddy Piper
Piper continued his aggression from Thursday. He got a couple of near falls early. Page hit a huge sit-out powerbomb for his own two count. He then spiked Piper on the apron with a DDT. Piper blocked the ref as he hit a low blow. Page landed a running ura nage and got the win but Piper had his hand on the rope.

Page gets the win but the ref missed another call. Piper won't take kindly to that.

Match 2. Authors of Pain vs. The Revival - NXT Tag Team Championship
Dawson was focused on Rezar early. He locked Akam in a hammerlock. AoP got their footing and took control on offense. The Revival hit a wheelbarrow Codebreaker on Rezar but got a near fall. Dash landed an exploder suplex. He then hit a full nelson suplex with a bridge to win.

We got new NXT tag champs! The Revival worked like a well-oiled machine and it showed.

Match 3. Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss - NXT Women's Championship
Asuka targeting the neck of Alexa. Alexa landed a DDT and jaw breaker. Asuka connected with her kicks and got a near fall. Alexa came back with a running dropkick and northern lights suplex. Alexa escaped the Asuka Lock. Asuka kicked out of the Sparkle Splash. She kept going with vicious kicks. After kicking out of a pin, Asuka won with a northern lights suplex.

After kicking out of the dropkick to the head, I knew Asuka had this match. Nine weeks as champ.

Match 4. Samoa Joe vs. Apollo Crews
Joe came out firing with a release German suplex. He then tossed Crews to the outside. Crews rolled Joe up and hit a one-arm powerbomb. Joe hit the ura nage and jumping enzuigiri in the corner. Crews hit three powerbombs and a dive to the outside. Joe came back with a Pele kick and won with the Muscle Buster.

Joe is the dominant star NXT needs. Watch out to whoever has the title.

Match 5. Dusty Rhodes vs. Vader - WCW Championship
After dealing with Flair, Vader is a bigger challenge. Neither man built momentum early They each hd some near falls. Dusty hit the punch and job combination. Vader landed a suplex and the Vader Bomb for a two count. Dusty clapped Vader's ears and hit the Bionic elbow to retain.

Dusty defeats yet another challenger. Who's next?

Match 6. Sting vs. The Giant
Giant hit a press slam and spinning side slam. Sting somehow picked Giant up and hit the Tombstone. Giant threw Sting into the steel steps. Sting came back with a splash and Scorpion Death Drop.

A big win for The Icon. He'll be fighting for the title soon enough.

Main Event. Hideo Itami vs. Austin Aries - NXT Championship
The champ struck first but Aries hit some nice moves. Hideo hit a front dropkick from the top. After a kick to the head, Itami landed a tornado guillotine. Aries fired up with a neck breaker and kick to the back. Hideo pulled out the GTS but Aries kicked out. What?! Aries hit a sweeping STO. The champ hit Aries multiple times with a baseball bat. Aries kicked out of a second GTS. Aries hit a kick to the head and the discus forearm to win the title.

There's no way. How did Aries kick out of TWO finishers? He deserves that title.

Recap: Wow. The NXT tag and world title changed hands. Sting and Dusty overcome big challengers. What a show.
