NXT Halloween Havoc tonight has a major issue... another COVID outbreak in NXT. Some stories for tonight's show will have to be redone due to it.

An interesting thing happened earlier this week... Thunder Rosa lost the NWA Women's World Championship to 1 of the newest AEW women's wrestlers... Serena Deeb (which will play into tonight's Dynamite episode... but we'll get to that later)

But that title change may say a lot about Thunder Rosa, who you may remember had a good series of matches with AEW Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida on AEW TV. There were reports Rosa was being courted by both AEW & WWE. With the title change, it's now being speculated that Rosa may be on her way to WWE since there would be no reason for her to drop the NWA belt if she was going to AEW because the 2 companies have a working agreement

WWE has also picked up another signing with another Japanese women's wrestler, Meiko Satomura has signed a wrestler-coach contract to be in NXT UK

Tucker Knight's heel turn is off to a rip-roaring start... LOSING ON MAIN EVENT TO frickING HUMBERTO CARRILLO

Mia Yim... sRn Reckoning... took to twitter to say her convulsions during the match on Raw was due to being possessed... so I was close by saying she was going to have an evil WWEfa baby

NJPW's new president has confirmed that Wrestle Kingdom will be 2 nights once again in January... and will have the biggest audience for a wrestling show since the pandemic began... set to have a capacity of 20,000 fans (Tokyo Dome hosts up to 50,000 on a non-pandemic day... so social distancing will be enforced)

In case you were interested in who set up each Hell in a Cell match from Sunday... Joseph Parks (aka Abyss) booked the Orton/McIntyre match, Michael PS Hayes & Paul Heyman booked Reigns/Uso... Tyson Kidd & Pat Buck booked Banks/Bayley

Brendan Vink... remember him? He was in a tag team with Shane Thorne on the main roster and managed by MVP before the Hurt Business. Now he's back in NXT as Tony Modra

AEW Dynamite beat Smackdown in the ratings & the 18-49 demographic this past week. Yes there were A LOT of mitigating factors... including being on FS1 instead of Fox... but you know the Demo-God will have something to say about that

Now for tonight's show previews starting with AEW Dynamite from Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Fla.

Don't know if we'll see what happened to Abadon tonight or on Dark next Tuesday... but wishing her a quick recovery.

Will the Orange one get gold? Orange Cassidy challenges Cody Rhodes for the AEW TNT Championship. This really would be a great time for Cassidy to hold that particular title... and Cody really doesn't need that belt anymore esp. since he's gone on record as saying he's bulking up to fight the AEW "heavyweights"

Eddie Kingston will fight Evan Bour... I mean Matt Sydal in a warm up for his I Quit match at Full Gear... and you know the champ Jon Moxley will be lurking about

AEW World Champion #1 Contender's Tournament semifinals are tonight... and a change we noted earlier due to an injury suffered last week (get well Rey Fenix)

Kenny Omega takes on Penta El Zero M

"Hangman" Adam Page take on Wardlow

New NWA Women's World Champion Serena Deeb will defend her shiny new belt against Leyla Hirsh. Wonder what AEW Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida is up to?

The Young Bucks have an announcement to make... perhaps about their health and their AEW Tag Team Title match against FTR at Full Gear. Did we get a circle back on The Bucks to make them babyface again ahead of that match?

The Inner Circle holds the much anticipated Town Hall to discuss adding MJF to the faction

Will Dark Order keep being nice to Colt Cabana

Will Darby Allin do another stupid stunt? Will Ricky Starks continue to antagonize Allin?

Will Matt Hardy & Sammy Guevara continue to try and murder each other?

Will AEW just go ahead and put the women's belt on Britt Baker already?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another WCW mainstay makes its return in NXT with tonight's show branded as Halloween Havoc from the Capitol Wrestling Center inside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla. and as noted above has been impacted by another COVID outbreak

Another WCW prop is back... Spin the Wheel & Make a Deal for 2 matches...

the NXT North American Championship Match between Damian Priest & Johnny Gargano

the NXT Women's Championship Match between Io Shirai & Candice LeRae

In hulking women fighting news... Rhea Ripley takes on Raquel Gonzalez

There's a Haunted House of Terror Match between Dexter Lumis & Cameron Grimes

Santos Escobar is given the chance to lose as his Cruiserweight Title won't be on the line in his match against Jake Atlas

Rhea Ripley was kinda hot before

You're lying. Humberto never wins a match.

Both were really good matches, imo.

The interview segment between the Bucks and FTR was not on the spoilers last week so I'm guessing they filmed that late to fill time for the Tay vs Abadon match that's likely not gonna air. They did also film a match with Shawn Spears squashing someone that probably won't air.

As a kid I remember watching the Steiner Brothers beating the Nasty Boys to win the U.S. Tag Titles. WCW was good Southern rasslin' back then.
