The 2024 NXT Halloween Havoc is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It will be the fifth annual Halloween Havoc held for the promotion's developmental brand NXT, and the 17th Halloween Havoc event overall. It will take place on October 27, 2024, at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. This will be the second NXT Halloween Havoc to be held as a livestreaming event, after 2022, as the 2020, 2021, and 2023 events were held as television specials of NXT, and also returns the event to one night as the 2023 edition was a two-night event.
Production
[edit]Background
[edit]Halloween Havoc is a professional wrestling event currently produced by WWE. As the name implies, it is a Halloween-themed show held in October. It was originally produced as an annual pay-per-view (PPV) event by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) from 1989 until 2000 as WWE purchased WCW in 2001. The 2000 event was the final Halloween Havoc until WWE revived the show as an annual event for their developmental brand NXT in 2020.[1] The 2020, 2021, and 2023 events were held as television specials of the NXT program on the USA Network, but for 2022, it was a livestreaming event.[2] The 2023 edition was also two nights.[3]
On July 15, 2024, it was announced that NXT Halloween Havoc would return as a one-night livestreaming event. The fifth annual NXT Halloween Havoc, and 17th Halloween Havoc overall, is scheduled to take place on October 27, 2024, at Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, marking the first NXT Halloween Havoc to take place outside of the brand's home base, the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.[4][5]
Storylines
[edit]The event will comprise matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT, and the supplementary online streaming show, Level Up.[6][7]
