Trevor Lee Reflects On Haunted House Of Terror Match With Dexter Lumis In NXT

Trevor Lee comments on working the Haunted House of Terror match in NXT.

At NXT Halloween Havoc 2020, Trevor Lee and Dexter Lumis had a Haunted House of Terror match. It was a cinematic bout, which ended with Lee losing via submission. 

Speaking to Jeremy Lambert and SP3 on In the Weeds, Lee was about this matchup against Lumis. 

“That was a lot of fun. Because that was the first time that I had done a cinematic-style match, if you will, where it was kind of shot like a movie. So that was also the first thing that Triple H was very hands-on with. He was very invested in that match and it not being super cheesy because it is a very campy idea. A very kind of cheesy idea.

But we were able to do it in a way that had some realism, if you will. Then, all of that accumulated back in the end in the CWC where the finish of the match happened with me and Dexter Lumis. It was so cool because Dexter Lumis… if you’ve ever seen any of his artwork, he’s an incredible artist. So then you have to apply that to his imagination, his creativity as well. It was just such a fun process to be able to work through that together and make that, like, campy horror movie feel but also in a wrestling match. It was very cool to just step out the box and not have to worry about drop down, leapfrog, arm drag. How is Lumis gonna bust through this door and look like Freddy from whatever, right? I’m Jason Voorhees. I’m not a good horror guy. I got all their names wrong.”
