WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2022 is scheduled for October 22, 2022 at the WWE Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida. Follow along here for spoilers and information on the event's card, lineup of matches and news regarding the pay-per-view.

The following are my predictions for the 2022 WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2022 PPV. Check back for NXT Halloween Havoc 2022 results and review coverage here when the time comes.

WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2022 Spoilers and Predictions

NXT Championship Triple Threat Match: Bron Breakker (c) vs. Ilja Dragunov vs. JD McDonagh

I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Breakker drop the title, but I still think he's going to walk out of here the champion. My guess is McDonagh is in the match to take the pinfall so Dragunov doesn't have to lose.

PREDICTION: Bron Breakker retains.

NXT Women's Championship Match: Mandy Rose (c) vs. Alba Fyre

No way Mandy Rose is dropping the title to Alba Fyre...right? I mean, if that would have been the plan, they could have done this LONG ago. It's not like Fyre is just now feuding with Rose for the first time. This feels more like a stop gap and less of a "this is what we're building to" situation.

PREDICTION: Mandy Rose retains.

NXT North American Championship Ladder Match: Carmelo Hayes vs. Nathan Frazer vs. Oro Mensah vs. Von Wagner vs. Wes Lee

Why have the fans vote on a competitor, just to take him out, replace him with Solo Sikoa, put the belt on Sikoa, and then have him vacate it? I'm not fond of the "swerve for the sake of it and then, let's hit the reset button" booking philosophy.

This feels like a weak group of contenders. Mensah isn't established on NXT USA and wasn't exactly the top guy in NXT UK to begin with. Frazer's on the lower midcard side, if we're being honest. Wagner is booked like a tough guy, but not one that wins anything noteworthy. Lee's been doing the "woe is me" act for months. Is this just a means to put the title back on Hayes AGAIN? I'm not feeling like any of these options are the right decision to have a strong title run going forward. This match would have benefited much more by having Tyler Bate and some other bigger names involved.

PREDICTION: Wes Lee or Carmelo Hayes wins. I'm leaning toward Lee.

Weapons Wild Match: Cora Jade vs. Roxanne Perez

A Weapons Wild Match is just a generic No DQ match. They love to have 40 different names for the same concept. It's not even a good pun for Halloween Havoc. Trick or Street Fight is better. Tables, Ladders and Scares is better. Here's hoping these two have something planned to spice it up and not have a broken skateboard ruin the segment. Roxanne should hit Cora with the skateboard for the win.

Ambulance Match: Damon Kemp vs. Julius Creed

If Kemp wins, Brutus Creed has to leave NXT. The idea behind that stipulation and the ambulance match concept in and of itself has me intrigued. I'm convinced they have a story they want to tell with Brutus gone, with or without Roderick Strong being aligned with Damon Kemp as a swerve.

Apollo Crews vs. Grayson Waller

We don't know what the gimmick is for this quite yet, which could make a big difference on the quality. No matter what, I imagine Crews has this won.
