Trick Williams vs. Ricky Saints for NXT Title Announced for NXT Halloween Havoc 2025

Tuesday’s taped WWE NXT show featured the first of four new matches announced for the card of NXT Halloween Havoc 2025.

This new match is a NXT Championship match of Trick Williams vs. Ricky Saints (c).

This new match was setup following Saints coming out to the ring and talking about Williams betraying Team NXT during the Men’s Survivor Series match at NXT Showdown and how this shows the difference between him and Williams when it comes to facing pressure. Saints then called out Williams and issued a challenge to him for a match with his NXT Championship on the line at NXT Halloween Havoc 2025.

This led to Trick showing up on the big screen and after some insults directed at Saints, Trick told Saints that he will do it on his time. Trick then stated for them to talk about it. Saints responded stating Trick is talking crazy and he didn’t expect Trick to come out to confront him. Saints continued stating he is Ricky Saints and he says they can talk about it.

In a follow-up segment, it was announced that this match was made official for NXT Halloween Havoc.
