"Spin The Wheel, Make A Deal" Returning For WWE NXT Halloween Havoc, Updated Card
WWE is bringing back WCW's "Spin the Wheel, Make a Deal" gimmick for the special Halloween Havoc edition of WWE NXT on October 28.
As noted earlier, Candice LeRae defeated Shotzi Blackheart on tonight's NXT show to earn a Halloween Havoc match against NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai. LeRae won the match after receiving brass knuckles from Indi Hartwell. The main event of tonight's show saw NXT North American Champion Damian Priest retain his title over Dexter Lumis, after interference from Cameron Grimes. As the show was ending, Johnny Gargano attacked Priest on the stage with a steel chair.
NXT General Manager William Regal then appeared on the stage to announce Gargano vs. Priest for Halloween Havoc, with the title on the line. Regal then introduced Blackheart, the Halloween Havoc host, who announced the stipulations for LeRae vs. Shirai and Gargano vs. Priest will be determined with the "Spin the Wheel, Make a Deal" wheel.
The stipulations for both title matches will be revealed with a spin of the wheel on the night of Halloween Havoc.
Regal also announced Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Gonzalez for Halloween Havoc.
The special Halloween Havoc edition of NXT will air on Wednesday, October 28 from the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida. Below is the current card, along with a few shots of tonight's closing segment:
