The card is shaping up for the upcoming WWE NXT “TakeOver: Halloween Havoc” Premium Live Event.
WWE taped the September 20 and September 27 NXT TV episodes this past Wednesday night, and the big news coming out of the tapings was the return of Ilja Dragunov. He ended up in a face-off with JD McDonagh and Unified NXT Champion Bron Breakker, and it was agreed that they will do battle in a Triple Threat for the title at Halloween Havoc.
Halloween Havoc is expected to be officially announced in the next week or so. The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 22 from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, and it will air live on Peacock and the WWE Network. This will be the first NXT TakeOver event since TakeOver 36 on August 22, 2021. WWE dropped the TakeOver name when they revamped the brand to NXT 2.0 back in September 2021, but the NXT 2.0 brand is coming to an end and they are set to go back to the black & gold brand beginning with the next live episode on October 4.
