WWE NXT Results (October 17, 2023): Badda Bing Badda Boom Tag Team Battle Royal
Trending
Damon Kemp was among the first to be tossed over the ropes, followed by Drew Gulak, Tank Ledger, and Hank Walker. Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs were fighting against Gallus and were thrown outside before Malik Blade and Edris Enofe were eliminated by Ridge Holland.
The Creed Brothers eliminated Mark Coffey and Wolfgang while Tony D and Stacks watched from the balcony. The Brawling Brutes and Out the Mud eliminated each other next, and it looked like only three teams were remaining in the match - the Creeds, Los Lotharios, and Chase U.
The referees missed the Creeds being eliminated, and they had to be tossed outside twice before the refs counted it. Chase U and the Lotharios were the last ones in, and we headed for a more traditional tag match as a part two.
Andre Chase was in trouble as the match started, and the Lotharios kept him from making the tag. When he finally managed to get the tag, Hudson came in and cleared the ring before hitting the Chase U elbow. Hudson dropped Carrillo on Garza before hitting a senton and a uranage.
Duke tossed Angel outside and hit a hurricanrana before Andre got a top rope crossbody. The Creeds came back out to distract the refs while pulling Garza out of the ring and allowed Chase to get the rollup on Humberto for the win.
Result: Chase U won the Badda Bing Badda Boom Tag Team Battle Royal
Grade: B+
Blair Davenport challenged Gigi Dolin to a match at Halloween Havoc before NXT moved on to a video promo from Brian Pillman Jr. or Lexis King.

Dragunov showed up on the Titantron and said he was done talking and would prove himself in the ring. He also told us that there would be a fourth man in tonight's main event, Trick Williams.
Williams came out, and we got some trash-talking before Hayes said this wouldn't change anything.
A brawl broke out, and Trick and Melo cleared the ring before it looked like Melo might attack Williams, but he didn't.
