WWE NXT Recap & Reactions (Oct. 6, 2026): Lady Wren

The road to Halloween Havoc has felt unorthodox so far. Kendal Grey’s continuing injury struggles, Wren Sinclair’s suspension, Mason Rook’s apparent injury, and a lot of moving parts in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic have made the last few weeks of NXT television feel a little uneven. This isn’t necessarily a complaint, and is probably par for the course with all of the wacky things the creative team has been throwing against a wall in recent months.

With Grayson Waller and the top of the men’s division the main focus last week, tonight was ladies’ night in Orlando. Women from 6 different brands converged on the Performance Center for a 20-woman battle royal with their sights set on Kelani Jordan and the NXT Women’s Championship at Halloween Havoc.

Would one of the talented women from Evolve, TNA, AAA, or the main roster stamp their ticket a huge title match on NXT’s big fall premium live event?

Kelani gets an unexpected challenger

Many times, you can get a feel for who’s winning a battle royal by paying attention to the entrances. 20 competitors parading out one after another rarely gets TV time and usually coincides with a commercial break. On tonight’s show, notably, Izzi Dame, TNA’s Indi Hartwell & Xia Brookside, and NXT North American Champion Zaria got the featured entrances. The rest of the field made their way out while we watched a few ads. To join the festivities and get an up-close look at her Havoc opponent, Kelani Jordan eventually made her way out onto the NXT perch.

Pretty standard fare early on in the battle royal.

Layla Diggs was ousted early, and Izzi Dame joined her shortly after, thrown out by Zaria, the woman she’s been tormenting lately. Right after Vic made it clear he doesn’t watch AAA by mixing up Adelicious and Lady Shani, Reina Volcan knocked the former and Skylar Raye off the apron and eliminated them, sending us to another commercial.

Earlier in the night, Kelani was asked about the field for the battle royal and singled out Reina as the only one that’s gotten her attention recently. Layla Diggs and Chantel Monroe both walked up looking to catch the champ’s eye, but Jordan was clearly not impressed.

Back from the break, the ring was still pretty full, with Monroe the only elimination after being deposited over the top rope by Ivy Nile. Arianna Grace tried to form an alliance with the Elegance Brand, but Heather and M turned around and threw her out almost immediately. M then tried to casually trip Heather off the ropes to eliminate her, building on their recent tension from TNA, but Thea Hail ended up eliminating both of them.

Lizzy Rain and Ivy Nile did that ‘attempted German suplex battle royal’ spot on the apron, and their ensuing brawl ended with Ivy being eliminated. Shortly after, four women teamed up to dump Reina Volcan over the top rope, knocking out one of the odds-on favorites. Reina was understandably pissed and took her frustrations out on Lady Shani with a devastating powerslam on the arena floor before being escorted out. Vic made sure to note that Shani had not been eliminated. Remember that for later!

Reina Volcan is NOT happy after being eliminated!!
