You just had to know that things were going to get a little nutty at NXT Halloween Havoc.
Total chaos erupted inside of the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona Saturday night and it all led to three new champions being crowned.
One of the few people who were able to walk out of the building with the gold they arrived with was NXT Champion Ricky Saints. He went through an absolute war with Trick Williams, but he was able to survive his first ever title defense.
That was gutsy.

Jacy Jayne cannot say the same. The leader of Fatal Influence was stunned by Tatum Paxley, who took advantage of distraction from Izzi Dame to capture the NXT Women’s Championship for the first time in her career.
Blake Monroe can also now call herself a champion in WWE. She defeated Zaria Saturday night to take the NXT Women’s North American Championship away from the injured Sol Ruca and DarkState shocked the Hardy Boyz in a Broken Rules Match to regain the NXT Tag Titles.
Here’s everything you may have missed from NXT Halloween Havoc on Saturday night.
Je’Von Evans & Leon Slater vs. La Parka & Mr. Iguana opened the show. Mr. Iguana and La Yesca received a great ovation from the crowd, as did Evans.
The stars of Lucha Libre AAA started out on fire, with Mr. Iguana hitting a tope suicida on both Evans and Slater. La Parka that followed up with an impressive springboard moonsault off the top rope.
All four men in this match are capable of some insane aerial acrobatics and they certainly delivered on that front. Slater in particular as went FLYING over the top turnbuckle at one point to deliver some damage to his opponents.

While this match certainly had it’s fun moments, there were multiple times where Evans and Mr. Iguana just were not on the same page. La Yesca may have overstayed her welcome as well, as both Evans and Slater spent way too much time messing around with the puppet instead of fighting their opponents.
Evans would take out La Parka with a dive to the outside and that allowed Slater to hit Mr. Iguana with a Swanton 450 Splash. The TNA X-Division Champion then covered the man in green to pick up the win for his team.
Winners: Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater
It’s a big night for everyone…

Day of the Dead was up next with Ethan Page donning some spectacular Canadian themed face paint for the occasion.
Dr. Wagner Jr. brought the toys out in this one early and he utilized a steel chair in quite the unique way. After he tied up Ego like a pretzel, Wagner propped up the chair on Ethan’s backside and delivered a drop kick to his tailbone.

Page would bounce back very quickly after getting his hands on a trash can. He slammed Wagner through the base of it and then went to work on his back with the lid. And that was just the beginning of the brutal offense each man inflicted on each other.
Ethan’s beautifully applied face paint was soon covered in blood, but he kept up his attack with a steel chair and seemingly had Dr. Wagner on the ropes after delivering a sidewalk slam through it. But he had to add insult to injury.
Ego began to tug at the mask of Dr. Wagner Jr. until it split at the nose and was peeled back to reveal his forehead, eyes and hair. The script was officially flipped at that point as the AAA Latin American Champion absolutely lost his mind on Ethan Page.
COAST TO COAST! 🤯@hijodewagner pic.twitter.com/uk79nfC2qT

Wagner’s flurry of offense included a coast-to-coast dropkick that sent a trash can flying into the skull of the Men’s North American Champion, but Ethan Page just kept fighting back.
He delivered an Ego’s Edge on top of a trash can, but it wasn’t enough to keep Wagner down for the three count. Both men would then battle to the top rope where Dr. Wagner had Page in place for a superplex through a table, but Page slipped free.
He would throw powder in Dr. Wagner’s eyes and then drop him through the table with an Avalanche Twisted Grin for the victory.
Winner and still NXT Men’s North American Champion: Ethan Page

Blake Monroe was out next, dressed as the Bride of Chucky and ready to steal the NXT Women’s North American Championship from ZaRuca.
Sol Ruca wasn’t cleared to defend her title after suffering an injury on SmackDown a few weeks ago, but she was healthy enough to be at ringside to watch Zaria fight in her place.
The challenger had all the momentum early on in the match. Monroe focused her offense on the left arm and shoulder of Zaria by locking her in an armbar across the top rope. She only had until the count of five before she had to break the hold, but she brought her back in the ring and went right back in for another armbar submission.
Everything is working for @BlakeMonroeWWE right now… 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/0PxQcoeqnL

Zaria was able to power through and drop Blake with a sit down powerbomb. It was the opportunity she needed to get back into the fight, which spilled to the outside. She went for a spear, but Monroe moved out of the way and Zaria went shoulder first into the steel ring steps.
She got to her feet in some serious pain and appeared to have dislocated her shoulder. The referee was considering calling for the bell, but in a moment of desperation, Sol shoved her tag team partner into the ring post and popped her shoulder back into place.
Did @SolRucaWWE just pop @ZariaWWE_‘s shoulder back into place?! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/ieiTPDJx5Y

Back in the ring, Zaria hit Monroe with a spear but she kicked out at two. She would then roll to the outside to collect herself and ended up knocking the injured Sol Ruca to the ground.
Zaria would check to make sure that she was okay and it cost her big time. Monroe snuck up behind her and delivered a Glamour Shot DDT onto the floor. She’d roll Zaria back into the ring to hit another Glamour Shot DDT and she pinned her right in front of Ruca to win the championship.
Winner and NEW NXT Women’s North American Champion: Blake Monroe

The NXT Women’s Championship was on the line next as Tatum Paxley challenged Jacy Jayne. Both Fatal Influence and The Culling were out at ringside for this one. The crowd was firmly behind Paxley, but it was the leader of Fatal Influence who was firmly in control for much of the early part of this match-up.
Paxley would soon use her quickness to build up a little bit of momentum. After being dumped out onto the ring apron, Tatum would drop down to the floor and then connect with a step up enziguri to knock Jayne out of the ring.
Tatum would attempt to sneak up on her opponent, but Jacy would take her legs out from under her and then catapult her face first into the steel framing of the ring.

Jacy had the upperhand for several minutes afterward. She hit an avalanche neckbreaker that may have put Paxley away, but Shawn Spears put her foot on the bottom rope without getting caught by the referee and it kept her in the match.
Fatal Influence and The Culling then got into at ringside and the brawl forced the ref to send everyone to the back, much to the chagrin of Jacy Jayne. It was finally one-on-one and the momentum really picked up from that point on.
Jayne scored a near fall on a running knee, and Tatum followed that up with a close two count of her own on a crucifix pinning attempt. Jacy went for a cannonball in the corner, but she missed. Paxley would hit the Rolling Encore and then went to the top rope for a picture perfect 450 splash, but somehow Jayne kicked out at two.
THAT CLOSE! @TatumPaxley just almost became champion!! 😱 pic.twitter.com/RruEsR8rMY

Not long after that near fall, The Culling and Fatal Attraction would make their way back down to the ring to once again distract the referee. Izzi Dame then snuck into the ring with the NXT Women’s Championship belt and appeared to take a swing at Tatum, but she ducked out of the way.
Jacy took out Izzi with a stiff forearm shot, but that gave Paxley the opening she needed to hit her Cemetery Drive finisher. The referee was still tied up with the fight on the outside, but he eventually made his way back in the ring and counted the three!
Winner and NEW NXT Women’s Champion: Tatum Paxley

Broken Rules means no rules at all, and The Hardy Boyz felt the effects of that at the beginning of their NXT Tag Team Championship defense. Every member of DarkState began to assault Matt Hardy and Brother Nero at the opening bell and made it clear that this was going to be a four-on-two match throughout.
At least that was their plan. Cutler James and Saquon Shugars would soon find out why The Hardy Boyz are considered one of the greatest tag teams of all time. They got their hands on chairs, trash cans and kendo sticks and leveled the playing field.
James and Shugars soon found themselves sprawled out on top of two tables, and they were each taken out by the Hardy’s signature highflyer maneuvers.
VINTAGE HARDY BOYZ!!! 🙌 pic.twitter.com/UvLvhPiVkF

Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin were left to battle for the tag titles on their own and the young guys took the fight right to Matt and Jeff. They scored a close two count on Matt after hitting a Dudley Boyz approved 3-D.
DarkState would then firmly get the upper hand after Jeff Hardy came up empty on a massive Swanton Bomb attempt. Brother Nero climbed to the top of a very tall ladder and came crashing down through two tables, which was one of the stiffer bumps you’ll see on NXT programming.
OH. MY. GOD.
JEFF HARDY MIGHT NOT BE GETTING UP! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/1Qcl6rXl78
— WWE (@WWE) October 26, 2025
With Jeff down and out, Matt Hardy would be forced to fight on his own. He’d fall victim to a massive spinebuster, but he just got his shoulder up before the count of three.
Another table would be brought into the ring by Lennox. He’d attempt to put Matt through it, but Hardy continued to battle back. That was before Griffin and Lennox both got a hold of him and strung him upside on the top turnbuckle.
Brother Nero made his way back into the ring and attempted to throw some punches, but he barely had anything left. DarkState would then connect with a Doomsday Device through the table and pin Jeff to score the biggest victory of their careers.
Winners and NEW NXT Tag Team Champions: Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin

Ricky Saints is ready for our main event! pic.twitter.com/9KGgydNhZp

Time for the main event as Ricky Saints defended his NXT Championship against Trick Williams, who was looking to become just the second man to win that title for a third time in his career.
It’s a piece of history that Williams wanted badly and you could tell by his performance, especially during the first several minutes of the match. Trick absolutely dominated Ricky during the early going. He was cold, calculated and unrelenting with his offense.
Saints ended up tasting his own blood in this one. Trick bashed his head into the commentary desk multiple times and it appeared that a piece of equipment cut him open above his right eye. He rolled him back into the ring and hit a spin kick for a two count.
HOW DID RICKY SURVIVE THIS?!? 😱 pic.twitter.com/K2JLxoVrhN

Williams took the fight back to the outside and delivered a Book End to Saints through the commentary table. He very rolled Ricky back into the ring and hit the Trick Shot, but Saints just barely got his shoulder up at two.
Saints would dig down deep and find his way back on the offensive. He connected on a slingshot lariat that took Trick off his feet. He attempted a sunset flip pinning combination, but Trick counted and got a close two count himself.
Williams caught Ricky in the fireman’s carry position, but he slipped out and stunned Trick with a cutter. He quickly bounced of the ropes and hit Williams with a thunderous spear. Ricky would immediately follow that up with a top rope assisted Tornado DDT and pinned Trick to retain the title.
