Despite Halloween Havoc 2026 being less than two weeks away, only two matches are currently confirmed for the event emanating from WWE's Performance Center in Orlando on Halloween night.

That makes the upcoming episode of WWE NXT all the more crucial as far as setting up the rest of the show in addition to selling viewers on what's already been announced.

Grayson Waller and Tony D'Angelo are bound to have words before they collide for the NXT Championship at Halloween Havoc, while NXT Women's champion Kelani Jordan and Wren Sinclair make their match official in a contract signing.

The night's featured match will see Cruz Montana and Dion Lennox do battle after weeks of trash talk. Depending on the outcome, a rematch seems likely for Halloween Havoc to help fill out the incomplete card.

In Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic quarterfinal action, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno del Mal will take on BirthRight and the decorated duo of Hank Walker and Tank Ledger will face The Creed Brothers.

Here are the complete results, grades and reaction for the Oct. 20 edition of WWE NXT as it airs live on The CW.
