contents Given a characteristic initial value problem with smooth data representing a dynamical event horizon settling down to that of Kerr in the subextremal, strictly rotating range with suitable upper and lower bounds, we prove that a weak null singularity forms, across which the spacetime metric is continuously extendible but not Lipschitz extendible. The bulk of the proof is a stability argument showing that a dynamical Teukolsky field can be approximated by a linear Teukolsky field, whose linear instability was proved in previous works.
