Tuesday night’s edition of NXT on The CW wrapped up the quarterfinals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and ended in chaos, with Cruz Montana led away in handcuffs after a wild brawl with Dion Lennox. Here are the full WWE NXT Results from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, plus everything we learned about Halloween Havoc.

WWE NXT Results for October 20, 2026

Galeno and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. def. Birthright (Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Quarterfinal)

The Wagner Brothers opened the show by knocking off Lexis King and Charlie Dempsey. After the Wagner Driver, Galeno finished Dempsey with a frog splash for the pin. Zilla Fatu stormed the ring after the bell, cleared out BirthRight, and dropped Dempsey with a pop-up Samoan drop.

Izzi Dame def. Layla Diggs

Izzi Dame picked up the win with her running knee. Zaria then came out and offered Dame a shot at her NXT Women’s North American Championship at Halloween Havoc. Dame turned down the title stakes and said she would gladly take the match with nothing on the line.

Hank Walker and Tank Ledger def. The Creed Brothers (Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Quarterfinal)

Hank and Tank pulled off the upset over Julius and Brutus Creed, winning with a combination power slam to punch their ticket to the semifinals.

Cruz Montana vs. Dion Lennox ended in a double countout.

The main event never got a clean finish. Lennox and his DarkState partners Osiris Griffin and Cutler James jumped Montana backstage earlier in the night, and the bad blood carried into the ring. Montana speared Lennox through the barricade, and neither man beat the referee’s ten count. Montana kept going after the bell, and when he swung the steel steps at Lennox, Cutler James took the shot instead. Security put Montana in handcuffs to close the show.

A scheduled six-man tag pitting the Vanity Project against EK Prosper, Mini Vikingo and Chazz Hall was scrapped because Mini Vikingo has not been medically cleared.

Halloween Havoc Takes Shape

NXT Halloween Havoc is set for Halloween night, and Tuesday’s show added several pieces to the card.

• NXT Championship: Grayson Waller and number one contender Tony D’Angelo traded promos ahead of their title match.
• NXT Women’s Championship: Champion Kelani Jordan and challenger Wren Sinclair held their contract signing after Jordan attacked Kendal Grey earlier in the night.
• Izzi Dame vs. Zaria: Set as a non-title match after Dame declined a shot at Zaria’s Women’s North American Championship.
• Zilla Fatu vs. Charlie Dempsey: Fatu asked GM Robert Stone to bring back the Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal stipulation for a match with Dempsey. Stone has not made it official, and Dempsey still needs medical clearance.
• Naraku vs. Shiloh Hill: Naraku teased the black mist, and Hill said he has less than two weeks to figure it out.
• Host: Danhausen will host the event.
