It was recently reported that WWE's premium live events from the main roster are leaving Peacock earlier than expected, with WWE Clash in Paris being the last to air on that platform before Raw and SmackDown pay-per-views go straight to ESPN. NXT events, however, will be staying on Peacock for the time being until March 2026.
Perhaps these shows were already on the schedule, or they might have been rush announcements to add to the lineup, several NXT premium live events were now set up, including a special episode of NXT on the CW Network.
On Tuesday, September 16th, NXT returns to Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida for a special being dubbed "NXT Homecoming". Perhaps a bit of counterprogramming in one sense, since AEW holds "Homecoming" events whenever they go back to Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida. Tickets presale is this Tuesday.
Not long after that, the NXT No Mercy premium live event will go down on September 27, 2025 at the FTL War Memorial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This will be one day after TNA Victory Road, but does not act as competition for AEW (unlike Wrestlepalooza the week prior sandwiched between and being directly in contention with AEW All Out)
Already scheduled for that event are two women's matches, as Lola Vice won the #1 Contender's Triple Threat match at Heatwave (defeating Kelani Jordan and Jaida Parker) to earn a shot at the NXT Women's Championship. She'll be facing Jacy Jayne, who lost her TNA Knockouts World Championship tonight to Ash by Elegance, but is still NXT women's champion. Also, Sol Ruca will defend the WWE Women's Speed Championship against the winner of a tournament yet to go down involving women from NXT, Raw, SmackDown, TNA, and AAA.
The annual NXT Halloween Havoc event—sometimes a pay-per-view, sometimes a special episode of NXT—will take place at the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
No matches have been announced for Halloween Havoc, though it can be assumed the whole "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" gimmick will return to set up some gimmick matches, as what normally happens, even though most of them tend to just be regular No Disqualification matches going by different pun names.
