Halloween Havoc turned into a full-on nightmare for Roxanne Perez as Stephanie Vaquer, alongside her partner Giulia, claimed a spine-chilling win with a Phoenix Splash that sent the NXT Women’s Champion spiraling. The jaw-dropping victory over Perez and her partner Cora Jade marked Vaquer and Giulia’s entrance as top contenders in the NXT Women’s Division. But wait—just as they started celebrating, the lights cut out, and the haunting figure of Zaria, the mysterious new contender, appeared high above the ring, glaring down at the entire roster with a stare intense enough to put a chill in the October air.
As for the match itself, Jade, fresh off an ACL recovery, was back with fire. She and Perez held their own with slick chain wrestling moves and synchronized headbutts, but Vaquer and Giulia turned up the intensity with a mix of brutal teamwork and well-timed counters. At the climax, Giulia trapped both Perez and Jade in a unique Electric Chair setup, setting them up perfectly for Vaquer’s breathtaking Phoenix Splash off the top rope. It was the nail in the coffin for Perez and Jade, leaving Vaquer with the winning pinfall and a clear statement: there’s a new wave of power rising in the NXT Women’s Division.
But that wasn’t all. Just as fans thought it was safe to exhale, out came Zaria in her ghostly, enigmatic form, looming from the shadows above. With the arena lights dimmed and a silent stare that spelled “unfinished business,” Zaria’s appearance made it clear—there’s more to come, and no one in the division is safe from this dark newcomer.
