A couple of matches have already been put together, too. NXT Champion Bron Breakker defending against both JD McDonagh and Ilja Dragunov will likely provide the main event. This three-way was set up when McDonagh beat previous contender Tyler Bate on the show, earning a shot, though he was then confronted by the returning Dragunov. A three-way staredown with Breakker hoisting the NXT Title aloft closed the broadcast.
Halloween Havoc will also feature a ladder match for the now-vacant North American Championship. Shawn Michaels stripped Solo Sikoa of his newly-won belt last night, adding former champion Carmelo Hayes as the first ladder match participant in the process. Elsewhere, debutant Oro Mensah earned a spot by defeating Grayson Waller, with other qualifiers set to play out over the coming weeks.
Last year's Halloween Havoc show was held in NXT's usual Tuesday night TV timeslot on 26 October, with Breakker vs. Tommaso Ciampa headlining.
