[9.0] "This was a good show , so many good matches there is not one single match I did not enjoy , My favorite match was Illja vs Melo , but it's going to be match of the night when you have two spectacular wrestlers like Dragunov and Melo in the ring , this was absolutely fantastic wrestling and a great strike exchange. My least favorite match was Bron Breakker vs Mr Stone . But even that was entertaining, it was cool seeing Bron just absolutely destroy Stone , but obviously a comedy match is not going to to be the better match of the show. My favorite segment was the haunted house with meta four and Tozawa , it was really entertaining again this week and they played their comedic roles really well. Match ratings Creeds vs Angel and Humberto 8/10 , Dominik vs Frazer 7/10 , Bron vs Mr Stone. 7/10 , Chelsea and Piper vs Chase U 8/10 , Lola vs Kelani 7/10 , Illja vs Melo 8/10."

[6.0] "Other then the main event and the opener, there really wasnt much to this show. I did enjoy Von's return and ass kicking of Bron, hopefully that leads to a good match. As much as the crowd is into Lola Vice she shouldn't of won that match, Kelani Jordan is overall a better peformer and was is definetly the breakout star. But i can see why WWE went with Lola"

[6.0] "Two standout matches compared to the others on the show. The ladder match and main event are good but neither are going to be remembered as classics. The rest of the card was pretty poor, so overall I think 6 is a fair rating for a mixed card that compares poorly to so much other great wrestling out there."

[3.0] "The work on this show was an improvement on the first night of Halloween Havoc, although there wasn't a ton in it. My main issue was the same as it always is with NXT - the presentation and the over-the-top characters are just impossible. Why does everyone talk in that robotic tone and why is everything over sexualised?"

[7.0] "Higher highs than night 1, but also lower lows. The mens tag team match was full of great spots, but the womens tag team match was inconsistent. The main event was the match of the event, but the resolution to the womens breakout tournament was the worst match of the event. Also felt the Halloween theme wasnt as heavily leaned into this night, which is a shame, but it was still a lot of fun to watch overall!"

[7.0] "This week's show was above average. It was light and fun; I enjoyed seeing Alba & Isla; I missed them. It was good to see Wes Lee again! The in-ring performance had its ups (Creeds vs. Angel & Humberto; Ilja vs. Melo) and downs (Breakout tournament final, Bron vs. Stone). The Women's Tag Team Championship was decent, as was the match between Dom & Frazer. The Meta Four/Scooby Doo segment was too much. Joe Gacy's segment was weird and out of place, as well as Out of Mud's. I especially didn't like the Tiffany vs. Fallon segment & the finish of the main event with Trick Williams & Baron Corbin."

[5.0] "Beautiful match from the Creed Brothers and Angel & Carrillo; I hope NXT has renewed plans for Joe Gacy; I don't understand the fun or necessity of that Scooby Doo-style segment with the jobber members of Meta-Four, unnecessary; The only good thing about the match between Infante Mysterio and Frazer was when Wes Lee arrived; Breakker Vs Robbie E, for a squash, wasn't that badly worked; I am not at all a fan of the work as wrestlers of Von Wagner or Bron Breakker, but the truth is that working on this story, both of them do an excellent job, I like how this story is going; Green & Niven Vs Hail & Jayne, adequate, could have been better; I am intrigued by this somewhat stormy story that they are putting together with the new Chase U, let's see if NXT plays it with an intergender match between Andre Chase and Jacy Jayne; Vice Vs Jordan, good match, acceptable; Ilja Dragunov Vs Carmelo Hayes, a romantic kiss and a love letter to Wrestling, a damn work of art; This new story between Trick and Hayes is interesting, I honestly feel sorry for them separating but if that leads to a good story, it's fair; On the other hand, Ilja Dragunov in rivalry with Baron Corbin, a bad idea; two wonderful matches, a very good story, unimportant segments, a terrible match, well 50% good I think this NXT was."

[8.0] "The second night of Halloween Havoc started off hot with The Creed Brothers vs Garza and Carrillo in a really good, highly entertaining TLC match. The Creeds continue their rise as one of the best teams in WWE. Hard to ask for a better opener than that (8.5/10). The advertised Tiffany Stratton vs Fallon Henley match didn't happen due to Stratton ambushing Fallon before the match and put her in a figure four using the post, kind of lame. Dominik Mysterio vs Nathan Frazer for the NXT North American Title was a solid match, although a bit predictable with how it played out as Dom retains the title (6.5/10). Bron Breakker vs Mr. Stone was a quick squash. The WWE Women's Tag Team Title match was pretty good with the champions retaining and the finish advanced the Chase U story (6/10). The Breakout Tournament Final between Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan was decent enough for two inexperienced wrestlers and Lola won (4.5/10). The main event for the NXT Title was really good. In the trilogy of Ilja Dragunov vs Carmelo Hayes, this was the weakest match, but that's a very high standard. It was another hard hitting fight between these two. Dragunov won thanks to a Trick Williams distracting Carmelo, which wasn't a great finish to the match but it advanced that brewing feud (8.5/10). This wasn't as good as the first night of Halloween Havoc, but this was still a very good episode of NXT with a strong opener and main event. Giving this an 8/10."

[5.0] "I expected this show to be weaker then the night one at least because it clearly wasn't supposed have any title changes, but the result was even more disappointing. Only the Creed Brothers keep their bar for good matches. Dragunov and Hayes predictably failed because they were not given any plot. To some extent, this episode shows the hopelessness of the current NXT men's division. Not only because the main event was bad, but also because Wes Lee returned from depression to exactly the same point where he was before. Guys like Noam Dar and Trick give hope though."

[8.0] "A slight step down from last weeks show but still a good show overall. It served effectively in being its own TV special while keeping the ball rolling forward to future events as well as the Deadline show in December. The opener ended up being match of the night for me in a war between both teams. The main event was a very good match although probably the least in their trilogy. NA title and womens tag title matches were solid. Bron/Stone was effective. Breakout finals were fine although I expected a bit more. Meta Four Haunted House stuff did not do much for me aside from their costumes and I find the group to be entertaining. Fallon/Tiffany getting cut was unfortunate but made sense with how tight the show was overall in terms of time. Last weeks show had a stronger main event as well as an overall more consistent card but this was still another good edition of NXT."
