WWE NXT held a special edition of its weekly taping. Merely days ahead of Halloween, this edition of NXT was promoted as the Halloween Havoc with some spooky elements all over the event. Shotzi Blackheart hosted the show.
She and the hosts hyped up the “Haunted House of Terror” as the match between Dexter Lumis & Cameron Grimes took place. Various video packages were used before the match to add to the hype.

The match was designed to be a cinematic spot fest, with WWE again dabbling into the “disbelief suspension” territory. Grimes wandered across a lawn warning to Lumis. Cameron finally entered the resembling one where Randy Orton & Bray Wyatt fought their House of Horrors match in.
As Grimes entered the terror house, a stuffed deer head spooked him. Grimes kept calling out for Dexter Lumis as he silently entered the house. While exploring the house, a zombie referee in a corner scared Grimes. Lumis took advantage of the situation as he attacked his already scared opponent.
As he tried to find a way out, Grimes found himself in a bathroom where he saw a silhouette of a woman. He pulled the carton, and the woman was actually a demon in-disguise.
