4 WWE stars who can return tonight on NXT Halloween Havoc Night 1
Tonight, WWE's third brand NXT will present Night 1 of its annual spooky spectacle Halloween Havoc.
With many top matches on the show, the potential for surprise returns is more likely than usual.
Join us as we take a look at 4 WWE stars who may make their return tonight on Night 1 of Halloween Havoc.
#4 - Cora Jade goes after The Man
In the main event of Night 1, The Man Becky Lynch will defend her NXT Women's Championship against her fellow countrywoman, Lyra Valkyira.
Whilst Lyra poses a great threat to Lynch, many do not expect Valkyria to capture the brand's biggest prize just yet, therefore Becky's biggest threat to her belt may appear after she retains.
One star who many feel has been destined to capture the NXT Women's title is Cora Jade, the young star has not been seen on the brand since July.
Recently, Jade looked to quash the chance for a potential return on social media as she responded to fans on social media.
"Stop asking me to return to @WWENXT. It sucks there and I’m better than everyone. Ask me about something that’s worth my time. Im sick of it," tweeted Jade.
Despite seemingly not wanting to return, Cora may be looking to confuse fans in order for her comeback to be an even bigger surprise.
#3 - A former Champion returns to WWE
Over the years many top names have held the NXT Women's title, such as Bayley, IYO Sky, and Charlotte Flair.
One performer who held the belt longer than any of those big names is Mandy Rose. Despite how impressive her title reign was she was surprisingly let go late last year.
However, with the dust now settled, WWE may be open to her returning to NXT. During a recent interview with TMZ, Mandy was asked about a potential return to the wrestling business.
"I do miss performing. I miss the camaraderie. I miss that adrenaline rush for sure. I can’t sit here and say I don’t miss it. However, I am keeping myself super busy, to not have to really have to think about it as much. But I don’t know about the future. I am a free agent now, I’ve mentioned across social media which kind of got out everywhere. But if the right call comes around and I feel like making an appearance and kind of coming back to any kind of wrestling federation out there, I’m not saying it’s a ‘no,’ but right now I’m pretty busy, so it’s gotta be the right call."

#2 - A legend helps his family
Throughout WWE history the sons and daughters of legends have gone on to have careers that have eclipsed that of their parents.
One performer who is looking to carve out her own journey in World Wrestling Entertainment is Arianna Grace, the daughter of the former Intercontinental Champion, Santino Marella.
During a recent interview on the Refin' it up Santino was asked how his daughter has fared in training as well as his future hopes for her wrestling career.
"She’s good, she’s very good and she was really growing in popularity very fast before her knee injury and the reason she got the knee injury is because she knows how to work with people that are green because she knows how to guide them and tell a story and they put her with some rookie athletes and they did something and blew her knee out but, yeah, and I’m not talking about just being there. I’m talking about top-five girls, breaking off into movies later. Our goal is that she’s a female Rock. We’re not just looking to participate. She has the potential to be a female Rock."

#1 - NXT's newest star joins forces with WWE's greatest star
Tonight on NXT Halloween Havoc, the sports entertainment giant's fans will see the in-ring debut of Lexis King, the son of the loose cannon Brian Pillman.
During his legendary career, Pillman Senior made a name for himself working with Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin. Before they feuded in WWE, the pair formed a top tag team in WCW as the Hollywood Blonds.
Despite going by a new ring name, King has many ties to the company where his father made his name.
The company could emphasize the debut of King tonight on NXT, by having Lexis feature in the ring with a legend like Stone Cold Steve Austin.
