Bron Breakker proved his bite was just as big as his bark at as he nearly unseated Tommaso Ciampa to become the new NXT Champion at Halloween Havoc. Tommaso, however, showed the veteran savvy in the ring to hold onto “Goldie.”
Breakker happened to have special guest Chucky on his case all night as the horror he made several references to Bron’s “daddy” questioning if losers “run in the family.” Bron, however, hung tough with Tommaso as both fighters split the Capitol Wresting Center as to who the crowd favored. Ciampa laid the groundwork for storytelling as he said Breakker would drown in a sea of inexperience and as the match wore on Breakker began to show wear toward’s Tommaso’s offense. Breakker however, charged back up to hit a Frankensteiner and a double underhook powerbomb. Breakker went for his gorilla press finisher, but Ciampa escaped to down Bron to the canvas.

A big development came when Ciampa DDT’ed Breakker on open concrete at ringside. A bloody Breakker got back to his feet to get nailed with a Fairytale Ending, but Bron kicked out. Several knees and strikes by Ciampa and a second Fairytale Ending is what ultimately put down Breakker for the 1-2-3.
