WWE is bringing back WCW stalwart pay-per-view event Halloween Havoc as an NXT special this Wednesday. Much like how WCW and the nWo “co-promoted” events in 1998, WWE will be doing so with Nascar. Here’s a look at what you can expect to see:
(Card Subject to Change)
DARK MATCH
Tyler “Mr. TR” Reddick vs. Christopher “Liberty” Bell. Winner gets to lose to “King” Cole Custer for Rookie of the Year honors.
PRELIMINARY MATCHES
Joey Logano Scarecrow on a Pole Match—Clyde “Chase” Elliott vs. Ryan “The Rocketman” Newman vs. Kyle “Rowdy” Busch. Winner gets to beat the effigy senseless for five minutes.
Jack o Lantern of Opportunity Match—“The Byron Boy” Erik Jones vs. Ty “The Other” Dillon. Must use the sledgehammer hanging above the ring to smash open one of two jack o lanterns. One contains a contract to race for Richard Petty Motorsports, while the other contains eight races with JR Motorsports in Xfinity. Fans decide who’s the real winner.
Chamber of Horrors Match—Team Rick Ware Racing vs. Team Premium Motorsports—not a match per se, but more of a testimonial contest to see which team’s drivers’ dreams have been perverted the worst by modern-day Nascar.
Ghost of Nascar Future Match—Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr. vs. Daniel “Team-a-Year” Suarez. Winner’s new race team gets immunity from high expectations for 2021.
MAIN EVENT
Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal—“Dangerous” Denny Hamlin vs. Kevin “Happy” Harvick. A giant wheel is spun by special guest referee Kyle “NWO 4 Life” Petty to determine the stipulation of the match. Possible stipulations:
Pit Crew Member’s Glove Match
“Waste Management” Lumberjack Match (all are members of the Logano “family”)
Roll Bar Cage Match
Beat the Crash Clock Match
Untinted Helmet Visor in Sunset Match (basically a blindfold match, only worse)
Latter Match (all results unofficial until both competitors pass post-match inspection)
