Myles Borne vs. Tavion Heights in Weapons Wild Match Set for NXT Halloween Havoc 2026

WWE’s NXT show also featured one new match announced for the card of NXT Halloween Havoc 2026, which takes place on October 31 at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

This new match was a Weapons Wild match of Myles Borne vs. Tavion Heights.

This new match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over Borne and Heights’ bad blood issues with each other since Borne turned on Heights and broke up their tag team. During tonight’s show, Heights and Borne were seen in the ring separated by several security and each talked about their issues with each other and what they were going to to do the other at Halloween Havoc. This led to Danhausen’s voice being heard and told for the druids to spin the wheel on the stage to determine the stipulation for the match, which landed on Weapons Wild.

Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo Makes Injury Return

WWE’s NXT show also featured Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo making his return from injury.

During the show, Zilla Fatu came out to the stage for an interview with Sarah Schreiber about his upcoming match against Charlie Dempsey at NXT Halloween Havoc 2026. Before Fatu was able to spin the wheel to determine his match stipulation against Dempsey, BirthRight’s Arianna Grace showed up to interrupt. This led to Fatu being distracted long enough for the druids on the stage to attack Fatu and revealed themselves as the other members of BirthRight. Among the hooded druids was Lorenzo making his surprise return from injury. This attack ended after Uriah Connors hitting Fatu’s already injured hand with a shovel and all of BirthRight posed over a fallen Fatu.

OH NO 😟 An absolutely BRUTAL attack on Zilla Fatu by BirthRight! https://t.co/Leh5eOyoRn

Current Card For Next Week’s WWE NXT Show
