This Saturday will be the fifth Halloween Havoc that WWE NXT will be holding. The night is set to be full of championship matches and scary stipulations. This event is exciting as it being Halloween themed sets it apart from other events held.
Here is what you can expect to see this weekend on WWE NXT’s Halloween Havoc.
Is Now Tatum Paxley’s Time?
As of the past few months in NXT, Tatum Paxley has been gaining a lot of popularity among the fans, despite being part of The Culling. She has even gained the support of former Intercontinental Champion, Lyra Valkyria.
Last week on NXT, Paxley won a 20-woman battle royal to earn her championship opportunity this Saturday at Halloween Havoc. She surprised many, and maybe she can surprise many more by picking up the win over champion, Jacy Jayne.
Paxley was also the one left standing tall this Tuesday after taking out Fatal Influence all on her own. Will we have a new face of the NXT Women’s Division come Saturday?
Zaria Stepping in for Sol Ruca
This Tuesday on NXT, Sol Ruca came out to address the NXT Universe. She came out with Zaria and General Manager, Ava. Ruca had a cane and a brace on her knee. She announced that she is not cleared to compete this Saturday at Halloween Havoc.
Her tag team partner, Zaria, stepped up and offered to defend Sol Ruca’s NXT North American Championship against Blake Monroe at Halloween Havoc. Zaria and Sol Ruca have been struggling to remain on the same page in the previous weeks. Will this affect Zaria at Halloween Havoc?
On this past Tuesday, Zaria laid out Blake Monroe. Is that a preview of what will happen this Saturday?
Brother Nero and Broken Matt Hardy have been Awoken
The attack from DarkState on The Hardy Boyz awakened a side of them that we haven’t seen in a while. Come this Saturday at Halloween Havoc, we will see the return of Brother Nero and Broken Matt Hardy.
They announced that the tag team championship match at Halloween Havoc will be a broken rules match, which has no rules. DarkState has never come across Brother Nero and Broken Matt Hardy, and they don’t know what they are in for.
We don’t know which two members of DarkState will step up to the plate to challenge the Hardy Boyz yet. Whichever two must be on their best game.
OH. MY. GOD.
