The latest episode of WWE NXT left several announcements for the Halloween Havoc card. On one hand, Tony D'Angelo earned a shot at the NXT Championship after defeating Myles Borne in a one-on-one match. On the other hand, Robert Stone validated the controversial victory of Wren Sinclair in the interpromotional battle royal to determine the challenger for the Women's Championship of the brand, which will lead her to face Kelani Jordan.

However, the night was far from over for the General Manager. In the final moments of the show, Stone found a note on his office desk written by Danhausen. "Name me host of Halloween Havoc, or you will be cursed", the note said.

Later, Shawn Michaels accepted the request of the quirky character to avoid one of his dreaded curses. "Hey, Mr. Stone, let's settle this... I don't want to be cursed! Danhausen at Halloween Havoc... what the hell are we getting into?", wrote HBK on his X account.

NXT Halloween 2026 will take place on Saturday, October 31 from the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Fans can watch the show live from the stands or on television through The CW in the United States and Netflix in the rest of the world. Below you can read the updated card for the show.
