Let's take a look at the five surprises that could happen on NXT Halloween Havoc this year:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5. Elias is revealed as the mysterious superstar at NXT Halloween Havoc
Elias had a decent run on WWE NXT before he made his move to the main roster. It looked like the superstar would get a big push on RAW or SmackDown, but this never happened.
He failed to win any relevant championships on the main roster and remained in questionable mid-card rivalries. Elias last competed on RAW against Jaxson Ryker in July and hasn’t appeared in the ring ever since.
Vignettes aired back in August, hinting towards a character change for Elias on the main roster. However, he hasn’t appeared as a different character on RAW yet. At Halloween Havoc, Elias could surprise the WWE Universe by returning to NXT.
NXT has aired teasers to bring in a mysterious superstar at Halloween Havoc. The mysterious superstar buried several things during the promo, and the vignette was a little similar to the one that aired for Elias a couple of months ago.
Elias could attack a top superstar on NXT to ignite a new rivalry. The Drifter would benefit from a character change, and a move to NXT 2.0 might be the perfect place to explore that in the months to follow.
#4. Solo Sikoa takes a shot at The Bloodline at NXT Halloween Havoc
The Usos’ younger brother is set to make his debut at NXT Halloween Havoc. Solo Sikoa is looking to make an impact on the brand by picking up some dominant victories.
Halloween Havoc will host the first match between Sikoa and some superstar or local talent. He will likely be allowed to pick up a quick victory over his challenger.
During the show, Solo Sikoa could surprise the WWE Universe by taking a verbal shot at The Bloodline. He may talk about his brothers and cousin’s work on SmackDown, calling them a disgrace to the family.
Sikoa could end the segment by claiming that he’s coming for Roman Reigns soon. The surprise will help NXT make headlines following Halloween Havoc and build the path for a massive future rivalry.
#3. Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta win the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships
Io Shirai and Zoey Stark will defend their NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships at Halloween Havoc. The team is comfortably placed at the top of the brand and is at little threat of losing the titles at Halloween Havoc.
Toxic Attraction comes across as the only real threat to Shirai and Stark at Halloween Havoc. However, NXT could look to surprise the fans at the special show.
If the rising duo of Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta picked up a surprising victory here, it would certainly shake up the entire women’s division.
#2. Dakota Kai returns to help Raquel Gonzalez at NXT Halloween Havoc
Halloween Havoc will host a big match between Raquel Gonzalez and Mandy Rose for the NXT Women’s Championship. The two women had a decent build before their upcoming title match.
Dakota Kai last appeared on NXT at TakeOver 36. She has competed in a few dark matches on SmackDown but could return to NXT soon. In such a scenario, Kai might help Gonzalez against Mandy Rose and Toxic Attraction.
The Captain of Team Kick could turn face to reunite with her former best friend.
#1. Harland costs Tommaso Ciampa the NXT Championship
Tommaso Ciampa will walk into Halloween Havoc as the NXT Champion. However, he will have a lot to worry about at the event. Ciampa will defend his title against NXT’s new big guy, Bron Breakker.
A surprise interference from Harland could turn the match against Ciampa. After all, he has already attacked The Blackheart once on NXT 2.0 and could cost him the title at Halloween Havoc to start a rivalry.
