Halloween Havoc is a professional wrestling event currently produced by WWE. As the name implies, it is a Halloween-themed show held in October. It was originally produced as an annual pay-per-view (PPV) event by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) from 1989 until 2000 as WWE purchased WCW in 2001. The 2000 event was the final Halloween Havoc until WWE revived the show as an annual event for their developmental brand NXT in 2020. [1] The 2020, 2021, and 2023 events were held as television specials of the NXT program on the USA Network, but for 2022, it was a livestreaming event. [2] The 2023 edition was also two nights. [3] It then returned to livestreaming in 2024 and to one night. [4]

On August 24, 2025, at Heatwave, it was announced that the sixth Halloween Havoc for the NXT brand, and 18th overall, would be held as a livestreaming event on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona. The event will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States, Netflix in most international markets, and the WWE Network in any remaining countries that have not yet transferred to Netflix due to pre-existing contracts. This marks the first Halloween Havoc to livestream on Netflix following the WWE Network's merger under the service in January in those areas. [5] Beginning with Halloween Havoc in 2024, all major NXT events (with the exception of the 2025 Great American Bash & the 2025 No Mercy which was changed in promotional purposes) are branded solely with the WWE logo instead of the NXT logo. however while it was promoted as WWE, this was later changed with the addition of the NXT logo.

Storylines

The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT . [6] [7]

At NXT vs. TNA Showdown, NXT General Manager Ava announced that on the following episode of NXT, there would be a battle royal to determine the #1 contender for Jacy Jayne's NXT Women's Championship at Halloween Havoc. It was also announced that the battle royal would feature wrestlers from NXT's partner promotion, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). [8]
