Who Will Win At NXT Halloween Havoc 2024? Predictions | Question Of The Day

Yesterday at 03:21 AM

Welcome to another eWrestlingNews Question of the Day!

NXT Halloween Havoc 2024 is set to go down tonight, coming to us from the GIANT Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. As always, that means we have one last chance to break down the card and give our predictions for all the matches scheduled for the premium live event.

My question for you today is “Who do you think will win at NXT Halloween Havoc?”

Remember to answer with your response in the comments below.

As far as my answer…

Spinner’s Choice TBD Match for the NXT Women’s North American Championship: Kelani Jordan (c) vs. Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne, or Jazmyn Nyx

That whole debut for Zaria interrupting this sure was weird, wasn’t it? Spinner’s Choice for this is so dumb. Why is the entire gimmick for Fatal Influence just that they perpetually get put in matches where we don’t know who is going to wrestle, but it ultimately doesn’t matter in the grand scheme anyway?

Given how two of the three matches on this card are just No DQ with a different name, I’m not expecting much here. The gimmick will either be a 3-on-1 handicap match or another renamed No DQ match (like Trick or Street Fight) where the others join in on the one who is chosen to wrestle and it becomes Kelani Jordan fighting against the numbers game anyway.

Another issue with this that I have is that this clearly won’t be Nyx, but if Henley or Jayne were to win, they would end up being effectively declared the leader of the group. It’s always struck me that both of them are on an equal playing field, with Nyx as their underling. I could see either of them winning the title, but that’s a conundrum, along with how any of this has anything to do with Zaria.

Then again, does Zaria coming out have anything to do with them, period? Or was she out there to try to signal that she’s going to be involved more so with Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer? That ending to NXT was supposed to be mysterious, and it ended up just being confusing. I hate the unnecessary mystery box strategy. Who booked this, J.J. Abrams?

I’ll just go with Fatal Influence winning here unless Zaria is involved. I think I reserve the right to say that WWE has intentionally or unintentionally left this ambiguous enough that having 4 possible winners beyond even the champion leaves room for a bit of an indirect prediction. But if you’re asking me who I think will be in the match on top of that, I think it will be Jayne.

Ambulance Match: Andre Chase vs. Ridge Holland

Surely this has to be the end of this feud, as there isn’t anything else left for them to do beyond have Thea Hail fight Ridge Holland. But since Holland already took out Chase and everyone else, if he were to do the same here, they’re just running a repeat to get back to the same spot they’ve already been.

I’m thinking instead, what will happen is that Chase will have the support of the rest of Chase University, with a returning Duke Hudson and Riley Osborne, as well as Thea Hail getting involved, all ganging up on Holland to send him packing. Then, coming out of this, Holland will be approached by Shawn Spears, who will recruit him to be another one of his allies alongside Brooks Jensen and continue to warp his mind.

Tag Team Match: Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade vs. Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer

This all hinges on Zaria, again. Also, again, WWE has set up a scenario where eventually, one to two people will have to look less important, unless everyone looks less important than the champion. That is because Giulia already failed to win the title, Vaquer hasn’t had a shot, and Jade is on Perez’s side. Even ignoring Zaria, who could very well be teaming with Perez and Jade to help them get the win, both Giulia and Vaquer can’t be the next champion, nor would I think Jade will be the one to dethrone Perez.

If this were closer to NXT Stand & Deliver, I would say that this will lead to a Fatal 4-Way for the title. Technically, that can still happen at something like NXT Deadline, but they haven’t even announced that yet. Plus, the last two years, the women’s title wasn’t even defended at that event, but a No. 1 contender’s Iron Survivor Challenge was the go-to option instead.

Does that mean the plan will be to bounce around between these women until Jade, Giulia, Vaquer, and two others (Zaria? Someone from Fatal Influence? Sol Ruca? Nikkita Lyons? Jaida Parker? Lola Vice? Thea Hail? Karmen Petrovic?) will end up being in that match to draw this out?

Obviously, saying that this will make obvious sense once we know what their plan is for the rest of November and December as far as title matches is a cop out, but that’s the reality. If the babyfaces win, I think it will set up Vaquer getting a title opportunity. However, if they lose, I think it will be because of Zaria and that will be the roadblock that kills time and stretches out Roxanne’s title reign a bit longer into 2025.

As far as my prediction is concerned, I’m going with the babyfaces.

Tables, Ladders, and Scares Match for the NXT North American Championship: Tony D’Angelo (c) vs. Oba Femi

It is SO dumb that this match is going to end in a pinfall. Not only does that completely defeat the purpose of it being a ladder match (*ahem* Tables, Ladders, and Scares…ugh) but it also means that either Oba Femi suffers a second pinfall instead of being kept looking strong by losing via D’Angelo climbing the ladder and retrieving the title, or the belt is just going back to Femi in a hot potato situation, meaning losing the championship in the first place was a completely unnecessary blow to his perfect record.

I don’t like this whatsoever. They should have just kept it a ladder match and had D’Angelo retain that way. With this current setup, I’d rather Femi just win the belt back than to take that second pin, unless it is all three men from The D’Angelo Family ganging up on him to excuse how he was taken out. Even then, I don’t think it would have been necessary to book a rematch and have him lose twice to D’Angelo.

Prediction-wise, I’m saying Tony D retains. It wouldn’t shock me if Femi just wins it back, though, to be honest.

Devil’s Playground Match for the NXT Championship: Trick Williams (c) vs. Ethan Page

This is as standard as it gets. Page hasn’t won a true victory over Williams, but he did take the title off him by pinning someone else. Trick won it back. They’ve stretched this out for quite a while. Now, with the rubber match, it has to end. Trick needs to retain and put Page behind him so he can move on to someone else, which I’d imagine will probably be Wes Lee.
