WWE has already confirmed no less than four matches for next week's NXT Halloween Havoc special.

Firstly, Rhea Ripley will go one-on-one with Raquel González. It's hoped that Rhea can use a strong win to get back on track - much of 2020 has been miserable for the former NXT Women's Champ, and she badly needs some momentum again.

WWE's cinematic fun also looks set to surface again when Cameron Grimes meets Dexter Lumis in what is being billed as a 'Haunted House of Terror Match'. Lord only knows what the company have in store for this one.

Elsewhere, Shotzi Blackheart will be present for some WCW-inspired 'Spin The Wheel, Make The Deal' chaos. Both the NXT Women's and North American Title matches will have their stipulations decided by the infamous wheel.

Fingers crossed that WWE don't stick a 'Coal Miner's Glove' match on there. Who'd do that?!

Seriously though, some inventive stips could liven up matches like Io Shirai vs. Candice LeRae and Damian Priest vs. Johnny Gargano. Both title bouts are expected to headline the spooky-themed episode.

Announcers Wade Barrett and Vic Joseph will also work a Halloween costume contest. There's your real main event.
