#3. Io Shirai defeated Persia Pirotta and Jacy Jayne on WWE NXT 2.0

Three top tag teams from WWE NXT 2.0 picked one member each to compete in a Triple Threat Match. A chance to spin the wheel at Halloween Havoc for the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships was on the line.

Io Shirai, Persia Pirotta, and Jacy Jayne took to the ring for the contest. Pirotta showcased her strength early on to lay out her two opponents. Shirai came back and sent Pirotta out of the ring. She laid both women out with a moonsault off the apron.

Jayne was unable to carry on and it was up to Shirai and Pirotta to take the contest forward. Both women exchanged explosive moves to keep the action ticking.

Pirotta did well against the former NXT Women’s Champion and kept her on the edge for some time. The Genius of the Sky applied a crossface late in the match, but Pirotta got up on her feet.

Shirai hit a German Suplex and ended the match with an Over the Moonsault for the win on NXT 2.0. The Genius of the Sky spun the wheel, determining that the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships would be contested in a Scareway to Hell Ladder match.

The contest allowed Pirotta to showcase her skills against arguably the best in WWE. It was unfortunate that Jayne could not do the same on NXT 2.0. However, the action was good and gave fans a glimpse of what to expect at Halloween Havoc.
