WWE NXT is set to host it’s Halloween Havoc premium live event next weekend, with the show being hosted by Danhausen.

With the event being one of NXT’s biggest on the calendar, the show could mark the end of the NXT career for several of the current top names on the brand.

Here are some NXT stars that could leave the brand following Halloween Havoc.

Tony D’Angelo

WWE NXT Champion Tony D'Angelo

Tony D’Angelo has won every championship available in WWE NXT, including the now defunct NXT Heritage Cup

Debuting on NXT during the early days of NXT 2.0, Tony D’Angelo has done just about all there is to do in NXT, having reigned as NXT Champion, North American Champion and Tag Team Champion.

The reason for D’Angelo’s return to NXT last year was reportedly due to Paul Levesque not being a fan of his old mob boss character, with D’Angelo re-inventing himself on NXT over the past year.

If D’Angelo fails to regain the NXT Championship from Grayson Waller at Halloween Havoc, it may be time for him to finally move up to Raw or SmackDown.

Zilla Fatu

Having only just arrived on the NXT brand back in August, it was believed from the second he debuted that Zilla Fatu would not be part of NXT for very long.

Having the obvious link to the Bloodline on the main roster, Zilla could realistically be called up at any time, hence why there is likely hesitation from NXT to feature him in a meaningful way so far.

Win, lose or draw in his match with Charlie Dempsey on the show, Zilla could be called up to the main roster as soon as the following week, as he would make a natural fit in the Bloodline’s team for War Games.

Kelani Jordan

Similar to Tony D’Angelo, Kelani Jordan also feels like the last of her generation in NXT right now, as her contemporaries such as Sol Ruca, Lola Vice and Tatum Paxley all recently made the move up to Raw and SmackDown.

Kelani was able to add the NXT Women’s Championship to her resume during her time on the brand, and she is set to defend the title against Wren Sinclair at Halloween Havoc.

When Kelani does drop the title, it likely won’t be long until she joins the main roster.
