Made official after tonight’s September 20 edition of NXT went off the air, a special edition that had been referenced throughout the night.
Not only is NXT Halloween Havoc back, it will be a special premium live event on Peacock.
Halloween Havoc is set to take place on Saturday, October 22, 2022.
The most recent NXT premium live event to air on Peacock was notable in that it ran somewhat counter programming to AEW’s major pay-per-view later that evening, AEW All Out.
For those who think that this sounds familiar, while the Halloween Havoc name was only recently resurrected in 2020 for NXT use, it has been used in the past.
While WWE purchased the Time Warner properties in 2001, Halloween Havoc was originally an annual pay-per-view produced by WCW from 1989 until 2000.
This will be the first time in NXT that the Halloween Havoc name is being used for a premium live event as the other two editions were special editions the weekly NXT television show.
Elsewhere on tonight’s edition of NXT, there was a debut from a former NXT UK star who now boasts a new name, a former NXT UK champ returned to face an old foe and the show kicked off with a major announcement about the NXT North American Championship.
