How many titles should change hands at NXT Halloween Havoc this year? Take a look at the five things that must happen at Halloween Havoc on Tuesday.


#5. Mandy Rose must take the NXT Women’s Championship off Raquel Gonzalez at Halloween Havoc

NXT Halloween Havoc will test the nerves of Raquel Gonzalez in a completely different way. She has held the NXT Women’s Championship for 200 days now. Gonzalez has been one of the most dominant champions in NXT history and has elevated the division with her work in the ring.

Mandy Rose recently made her return to NXT. She was a regular feature on the main roster, and a move back to the brand has given her a big push. It didn’t take her long to reach the NXT Championship picture, thanks to Toxic Attraction.

At Halloween Havoc, Gonzalez will defend her title in a Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Match against Rose. Rose is a very different competitor compared to the other women Big Mami Cool has faced before.

Mandy will likely have Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne by her side during the match. That could give her an unfair advantage, especially if the stipulation of the match allows them to interfere legally.

WWE must allow Mandy Rose to defeat Gonzalez and win the title to begin a new era on NXT 2.0. Big Mami Cool has been dominant for some time, and a loss to Rose won’t hurt her value.

A heel champion will help elevate the title even more and give the faces of the brand a chance to get some good championship matches.

#4. Dexter Lumis must kidnap Trick Williams at NXT Halloween Havoc

Dexter Lumis has invited Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes to the Haunted House to retrieve the NXT North American Championship at Halloween Havoc. Johnny Gargano and Lumis took the title away from Hayes on last week’s NXT 2.0.

At Halloween Havoc, WWE must allow the wacky Lumis to kidnap Williams and take him out for some time. This could lead to a match between Gargano and Hayes for the NXT North American Championship.

The angle will allow NXT to build a rivalry between Hayes and Johnny Wrestling for the title while also building a side rivalry between Williams and Lumis.


#3. MSK must retain the NXT Tag Team Championships at Halloween Havoc

MSK will defend their tag team championships at Halloween Havoc against Imperium. The two top teams of NXT are set to collide in one of the biggest matches of the show.

This won’t be the first time Imperium will take on MSK for the titles. Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel failed to win the championships from the duo in August.

At Halloween Havoc, WWE must allow Wes Lee and Nash Carter to retain their titles once again as they are doing a great job as champions. MSK needs to have a few more title defenses before dropping the titles to a worthy team.

The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic in 2022 could determine the team that will eventually defeat MSK for the titles.

#2. Io Shirai and Zoey Stark must retain their titles at NXT Halloween Havoc

Io Shirai and Zoey Stark are set to compete in a Scareway to Hell Ladder Match at NXT Halloween Havoc. They will put their titles on the line in a Triple Threat Match against Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta, and Toxic Attraction's Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne.

Shirai and Stark have had a good reign with the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships. However, they need to compete in a few more matches to make their reign memorable.

The champions come across as the toughest women’s tag team in NXT. WWE must keep the titles on them longer and build some strong tag teams around them. It will allow the overall women’s division of NXT 2.0 to get a boost.


#1. Bron Breakker must defeat Tommaso Ciampa for the NXT Championship at Halloween Havoc

Bron Breakker will compete in the biggest match of his career at NXT Halloween Havoc. He will take on Tommaso Ciampa in a traditional wrestling match.

Breakker has come into NXT 2.0 as the toughest superstar on the brand. The company will need to work hard to protect the newcomer and make him a big deal.

At Halloween Havoc, WWE must allow Bron Breakker to defeat The Blackheart and become the new champion. Even though Ciampa recently won the title, WWE could use the opportunity to give Breakker a big push.

Unlike Ciampa, who will likely never move to the main roster, fans could see Breakker make it to RAW or SmackDown after a good NXT Championship reign.
