The fifth WWE NXT Halloween Havoc was the one not to miss. The night was set to be full of championship matches and scary stipulations. This event is exciting as it is Halloween-themed, setting it apart from other events held. The AAA, TNA, and NXT stars were participating in the spookiest WWE event of the year.
Are you ready for chaos?!

The TNA & NXT Hornets, the Living Skeleton, and the Iguana
TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater joined forces with NXT’s Je’Von Evans for tag team action against AAA’s Mr. Iguana and La Parka. Slater soared with Big Play Slater, wiping out Mr. Iguana and La Parka on the floor. Evans followed up with a top rope Frog Splash. La Parka kicked out at two. Slater and Evans were introduced to Mr. Iguana’s puppet, La Yesca.
Evans and Slater fired back with high-flying electricity of their own. The X-Division Champion flipped the momentum back to his squad. In signature La Parka fashion, though, the luchador confused his opponents with his dance-based offense before tagging in Iguana. In the end, Evans neutralized La Parka while Slater put away Mr. Iguana with the Swanton 450. Nygma says: There’s no better opener than an X-Division-style match—a cool, funny, and great bout.
Ethan Page, Dead or Alive
What to expect from a Day of the Dead Match? Anything. Wagner Jr. brought the fight right to Page. He smacked him with chairs and trash cans, even smashing him over the announce table. Page rallied using various weapons, like a trash can lid and even a femur from a skeleton decoration. He then smashed Dr. Wagner Jr.’s throat first on a table leg. Page ripped off the Luchador’s mask, infuriating the challenger and flipping the match on its head.
The AAA Latin American Champion set Page up in the corner and hit a devastating coast-to-coast with the assist of a trash can. Page recovered and sank to even lower depths as he tossed powder in Wagner Jr.’s face and hit an Avalanche Twisted Grin for the win. Nygma says: One of Page’s greatest qualities is his ability to adapt to any stipulation. The bout could have been a bit scarier, but Page’s make-up was enough to make me chill.

Zaria Failed
Zaria was defending the title on behalf of the injured Sol Ruca, and The Glamour took advantage of this immediately, using her ferocity to catch the “champion” off guard. Despite her left arm being compromised, Zaria powered through to slam Monroe to break up an attempt to cinch in an armbar. Zaria’s shoulder injury took her out of the action until Ruca pushed her teammate into the ring post, seemingly popping the shoulder back into place and setting Zaria off on a rampage.
Monroe tried to use her hairpin as a weapon, but Zaria caught the challenger with a Spear that nearly sealed the match. Zaria then chased The Glamour around ringside, but Monroe intentionally tripped Ruca’s crutches, disorienting Zaria in the process. Monroe used this distraction to hit a pair of Glamour Shot DDTs to win the match and end Ruca’s title reign. Nygma says: Sadly, no surprise here. Monroe wanted the title; she got it. Now, is it the end of ZaRuca?
Tatum Paxley Does It
The presence of The Culling and Fatal Influence was too combustible, leading to a brawl that caused the referee to eject both groups from ringside. Jayne panicked as Fatal Influence left, leaving her in a proper one-on-one title defense. Paxley and Jayne traded major shots, including a huge 450 Splash from the challenger, but neither Superstar could secure the victory. Then out of nowhere, Niko Vance and Shawn Spears returned to the entrance ramp, only to be met by Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid.

Amid the chaos, Izzi Dame snuck in behind the official’s back with the NXT Women’s Title. Dame lined up the title, but Jayne connected with a Rolling Encore, giving Paxley enough time to hit Cemetery Drive and become NXT Women’s Champion. Nygma says: I didn’t like that bout, not that I didn’t like seeing Paxley win. Why couldn’t it be a fair win? Unless Paxley is really injured and has to stop, Paxley’s win comes under some fatal influence.
SHE DID IT!!!!

Brothers Deleted
Broken Matt and Brother Nero found themselves falling victim to the numbers game played by DarkState. If Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin were their opponents, they had to face off the whole faction. The brothers brought a bevy of weapons, including tables, ladders, chairs, trash cans, and Kendo sticks. Nero leaped off the top of a ladder, but disaster struck as he crashed through the table below.
As Matt was trapped in the corner, DarkState hit Jeff with a Doomsday Device through another table to regain the NXT Tag Team Titles. Nygma says: It was a bit predictable, first because a stipulation meant the 4 DarkState members could be involved, second because an NXT title in TNA’s hands seemed to be too hard to handle for WWE. Sad, but true.
Absolute Saints
Ricky Saints successfully defended the NXT Championship against Trick Williams. The challenger attacked the Champion immediately, setting the tone for a hard-hitting, bitter matchup. Williams targeted Saints’ back, using a jumping neckbreaker and a Full Boston Crab to torture the champion. The attack continued as Williams slammed Saints through the announce table with a Uranage and followed it up with a Trick Shot.
Saints fought back and countered another Trick Shot into a spear before hitting a massive Tornado DDT to win the match and retain his title. Nygma says: I’ve known Ricky Starks, sorry Saints, for a few years now, so I’m not surprised to see him be that impressive. His first title defense was a demonstration. Ricky is one hell of a tricky man in a ring.
That was gutsy.

Meanwhile, backstage
- Big trouble between TNA Knockouts World Champion Kelani Jordan and Jordynne Grace.
- Wren Sinclair, Karmen Petrovic, and Kendal Grey continued to make an enemy of Lash Legend.
- Leon Slater and Je’Von Evans promised to finish their business with DarkState.
Nygma says
NXT Halloween Havoc 2025 was a good, but not a great show. The opener and Page’s match were entertaining. The women’s bouts were a bit infuriating, as if a woman can’t win a wrestling bout on her own. The Hardys’ loss came as no surprise when Ricky Saints proved his Championship value. Till NXT on Tuesday night, may the Nygma be with you.
