Backstage Critics Blame Naraku vs. Shiloh Hill for Ruining NXT Halloween Havoc

WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2026 drew sharp criticism from attendees and insiders, with many blaming the cinematic match between Naraku and Shiloh Hill for ruining the entire event. Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that people at the Performance Center felt the segment’s execution damaged the show’s quality. The bout, which featured a backstage attack, poison mist, and a hallucinatory storyline, concluded with Hill defeating Naraku via a modified neck-breaker. While WWE invested significant time in this rivalry, the reception was notably negative compared to rival promotions like CMLL.
