Closing out night two of NXT Halloween Havoc was Ilja Dragunov and Carmelo Hayes clashing for the NXT Championship. As Hayes was building momentum, Trick Williams showed up and that shifted Hayes’ attention. This led to him eventually falling in defeat to Ilja Dragunov, keeping Ilja’s title reign intact. Williams, Hayes, Baron Corbin and Dijak were supposed to compete in a Fatal 4-Way to determine who gets the title match against Ilja, but Williams was ambushed beforehand. Hayes denied that he attacked Trick. Before the show went off the air, Williams picked Hayes off the mat and they stared each other down. The champion Dragunov was ambushed backstage by Baron Corbin.
