NXT has been quite busy lately with the TNA vs NXT Showdown special last week and some appearances at TNA Bound for Glory 2025, but the ball keeps rolling and before long, the next premium live event will be here as WWE NXT Halloween Havoc is set to take place October 25, 2025 at the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona.
Nothing had been announced for the show prior to last night's episode of NXT, but within those two hours, we already have four matches set for the card all for different championships.
The least interesting of the bunch is a rematch between The Hardy Boyz and DarkState for the NXT Tag Team Championship. Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy won those titles by beating Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin at Showdown, and there is a good chance they simply drop them back at this show. It hasn't been confirmed yet which two members of DarkState will be in the match.
Ethan Page will defend his NXT North American Championship against AAA's Latin American Champion El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., who upped the ante and made this a "Day of the Dead Match" for the title. All that was explained about that is how the match will be No Disqualification. That is likely all that will happen, as it is unlikely to have any other rules attached.
Ricky Saints issued a challenge at the start of the episode to put his NXT Championship on the line against Trick Williams. They will have a contract signing next week after Williams attacked Saints backstage.
Lastly, Tatum Paxley won the main event battle royal to earn the next shot at Jacy Jayne's NXT Women's Championship. She did so when Izzi Dame and Jordynne Grace both went over the top rope, leaving Paxley behind, which should not sit well with her teammate in The Culling, Dame, who was adamant Paxley would be with her for HER victory instead.
To recap, here is what we know so far for the card for NXT Halloween Havoc 2025:
- Day of the Dead Match for the NXT North American Championship: Ethan Page (c) vs. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner
- Tag Team Match for the NXT Tag Team Championship: The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) (c) vs. DarkState (a pair consisting of some duo combination of Cutler James, Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin and Saquon Shugars)
- Singles Match for the NXT Women's Championship: Jacy Jayne (c) vs. Tatum Paxley
- Singles Match for the NXT Championship: Ricky Saints (c) vs. Trick Williams
