WWE has announced the dates and locations for two upcoming NXT premium live events, reviving two classic pay-per-view names for the fall season. The company also confirmed a special television event that will mark a return to a historic venue for the brand.
The announcements on Monday confirmed the return of "No Mercy" in September and the WCW classic "Halloween Havoc" in October. A special "Homecoming" episode of NXT TV was also announced for September.
NXT No Mercy
The first of the two new premium live events, NXT No Mercy, is scheduled for Saturday, September 27. The show will take place at the FTL War Memorial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

"No Mercy" is a name that will be familiar to long-time WWE fans. It was a recurring WWE pay-per-view from 1999 to 2008 and was briefly revived in 2016 and 2017. The name is often associated with a more aggressive, intense style of wrestling.

NXT Halloween Havoc
The following month, NXT will present Halloween Havoc on Saturday, October 25, from the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona. This is the revival of one of the most beloved and iconic event names from World Championship Wrestling (WCW).

Halloween Havoc was a flagship WCW pay-per-view from 1989 to 2000, famous for its spooky, seasonal theme and often featuring gimmick matches like the "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" concept. WWE has successfully used the name for an annual NXT television special in recent years, and it is now being elevated to a full premium live event.
NXT Homecoming
In addition to the two PLEs, WWE announced a special edition of their weekly television show. On Tuesday, September 16, NXT will present "Homecoming," a special episode that will take place at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida.
The return to Full Sail is a nod to the brand's history. From 2012 to 2020, Full Sail University was the home of NXT, the site of the "black and gold" era that produced stars like Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, and Kevin Owens. The "Homecoming" theme is a direct acknowledgment of the venue's importance to the brand's legacy.
Tickets for all three events will go on sale to the public on Wednesday, August 27, with a special presale available on Tuesday, August 26.
