Halloween Havoc is aprofessional wrestlingevent currently produced byWWE. Since 2020, it has been held annually for the company'sdevelopmental brand,NXT. As the name implies, it is aHalloween-themed show held in October.

It was originally produced as an annualpay-per-view (PPV) event byWorld Championship Wrestling (WCW) from 1989 until 2000. The first two events were held when WCW was still affiliated with theNational Wrestling Alliance (NWA) before WCW split from the NWA in January 1991. The final five events under WCW (1996–2000) were held at theMGM Grand Garden Arena in theLas Vegas suburb ofParadise, Nevada.

WWE—at that time still known as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF)—purchased the assets of WCW in March 2001. Nineteen years later, Halloween Havoc was revived as an annual event for WWE's NXT brand in 2020. The 2020, 2021, and 2023 editions were held asspecial episodes of NXT'sweekly television program, with the latter broadcast as a two-week event. The 2022 edition aired via WWE'slivestreaming platforms, with the 2024 event to also air via this medium, subsequently returning to a singular night.

History

[edit]

In 1989,World Championship Wrestling (WCW) of theNational Wrestling Alliance (NWA) scheduled aHalloween-themedpay-per-view (PPV) event for October 28, 1989, at thePhiladelphia Civic Center inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania. The event was aptly namedHalloween Havoc.[1] Asecond Halloween Havoc was scheduled for the following year, thus establishing Halloween Havoc as an annual PPV for WCW. This second event was also the final Halloween Havoc produced by WCW under the NWA banner as WCW split from the NWA in January 1991.[2]

The2000 event was the final Halloween Havoc produced by WCW, as in March 2001, WCW was acquired by theWorld Wrestling Federation (WWF); the WWF was renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002 ("WWE" became anorphaned initialism in 2011).[3] After 19 years since the acquisition of WCW, WWE revived Halloween Havoc for theirdevelopmental brand,NXT. Both the2020 and2021 events were held astelevision specialepisodes of theNXT television program, which aired on theUSA Network.[4][5] The2022 event, however, was held as alivestreaming event, airing onPeacock in the United States and theWWE Network in international markets.[6] The event returned to being a television special in2023, but was expanded to a two-part special ofNXT on the USA Network.[7] It then returned to livestreaming in 2024 and to one night.[8]

The 1994 and 1995 events were both held at theJoe Louis Arena inDetroit, Michigan[9][10] before becoming a main stay at theMGM Grand Garden Arena inLas Vegas, Nevada from 1996 to 2000.[11][12][13][14] From the event's revival in 2020 to 2023, it was held at NXT's home venue, theWWE Performance Center inOrlando, Florida.[4][5][6] The2024 event marks the first time that NXT Halloween Havoc would take place outside of the WWE Performance Center.[8]

In 2014, all WCW PPVs, including Halloween Havoc, were made available on WWE's streaming service, the WWE Network.[15] Since March 2021, they are also available on Peacock in the United States as the American version of the WWE Network merged under Peacock at that time.[16] From 2020 to 2023, Halloween Havoc carried the NXT logo until it was replaced by the WWE logo from 2024.
