In an electrifying showdown at WWE NXT Halloween Havoc, Tony D’Angelo successfully defended his WWE NXT North American Championship against the formidable Oba Femi in a Tables, Ladders, and Scares Match. The match was packed with hardcore action, as D’Angelo and Femi left everything in the ring.
The bout opened with an exchange of blows, as D’Angelo dodged a clothesline and connected with a powerful spear. Displaying his strength, D’Angelo launched Femi over the top rope, setting the tone for a chaotic clash. Femi quickly retaliated, delivering a brutal uppercut before Angelo sent him crashing into the steel ring post and later speared him through the barricade.
The ladder bridge became an instant weapon, with both superstars battling relentlessly. Femi gained momentum, using a chair to punish D’Angelo. He whipped D’Angelo into a ladder in the corner and slammed his head against it, signaling his fierce determination to take the title. The tide seemed to turn as Femi executed a spinebuster on the apron, followed by a bodyslam onto a ladder, emphasizing his dominance.
Femi then introduced a table and a crowbar, looking to end the match definitively. However, D’Angelo fought back, blocking the crowbar attack and rallying with a series of haymakers and a belly-to-belly suplex. As the battle escalated, Femi landed an F5, and it seemed like he might have the upper hand. Taking things further, Femi zip-tied D’Angelo’s hands to the turnbuckle and attacked his allies, “The Family,” amplifying the stakes.
The resilient D’Angelo freed himself just in time, spearheading Femi through a ladder bridge in a dramatic comeback. Femi answered with a powerful lariat and hit his signature move, the Fall From Grace, but couldn’t seal the victory. With his family’s help, D’Angelo unleashed The Shattering Machine and delivered a devastating chokeslam, smashing Femi through a table and securing the pinfall.
This unforgettable match not only demonstrated D’Angelo’s grit and determination as champion but also highlighted Femi’s relentless pursuit of glory. Both competitors pushed each other to their limits in a brutal, thrilling encounter that will resonate with WWE fans for a long time.
