Rounding out Halloween Havoc is a trio of title matches, one of which will see Zaria defending the NXT Women’s North American Championship on behalf of her tag team partner Sol Ruca. Following their unsuccessful pursuit of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on “WWE SmackDown,” Ruca revealed that she had sustained an injury that would keep her out of action and unable to compete at Halloween Havoc. Fortunately (or potentially unfortunately) for Ruca, Zaria volunteered to step in for her and face the increasingly aggressive Blake Monroe with the respective title on the line.
In the NXT Women’s Championship scene, Tatum Paxley emerged as the number one contender after outlasting women from “NXT” and TNA in a battle royal. She will now wrestle Jacy Jayne, the reigning NXT Women’s Champion, for the title. Both competitors will likely have backup in their corners as Paxley is aligned with Izzi Dame in The Culling, while Jayne remains a member of Fatal Influence alongside Fallon Henley and the newly-recruited Lainey Reid.
Finally, Ricky Saints will tackle his first televised test as NXT Champion when he puts his title on the line against Trick Williams, a former two-time holder of the gold. Earlier this month, Williams and Saints were on the same side at “NXT” x TNA Showdown, though that later changed when Williams walked out on his fellow “NXT” talents in their Survivor Series-style match. Infuriated by the move, Saints then called out Williams to a one-on-one bout.
