She surprised many, and maybe she can surprise many more by picking up the win over champion, Jacy Jayne.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paxley was also the one left standing tall this Tuesday after taking out Fatal Influence all on her own. Will we have a new face of the NXT Women\u2019s Division come Saturday?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Zaria Stepping in for Sol Ruca<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Tuesday on NXT, Sol Ruca came out to address the NXT Universe. She came out with Zaria and General Manager, Ava. Ruca had a cane and a brace on her knee. She announced that she is not cleared to compete this Saturday at Halloween Havoc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her tag team partner, Zaria, stepped up and offered to defend Sol Ruca\u2019s NXT North American Championship against Blake Monroe at Halloween Havoc. Zaria and Sol Ruca have been struggling to remain on the same page in the previous weeks. Will this affect Zaria at Halloween Havoc?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On this past Tuesday, Zaria laid out Blake Monroe. Is that a preview of what will happen this Saturday?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Brother Nero and Broken Matt Hardy have been Awoken<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The attack from DarkState on The Hardy Boyz awakened a side of them that we haven\u2019t seen in a while. Come this Saturday at Halloween Havoc, we will see the return of Brother Nero and Broken Matt Hardy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They announced that the tag team championship match at Halloween Havoc will be a broken rules match, which has no rules. DarkState has never come across Brother Nero and Broken Matt Hardy, and they don&#8217;t know what they are in for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We don\u2019t know which two members of DarkState will step up to the plate to challenge the Hardy Boyz yet.
