NBC Universal is said to be thrilled with the WWE NXT brand following a highly successful Halloween Havoc event.
Last Saturday’s event saw Bron Breakker retain his NXT Championship in the main event after defending against JD McDonagh and Ilja Dragunov.
On Twitter, Andrew Zarian reported that NXT Halloween Havoc 2022 was NXT’s most-viewed standalone PLE since the start of the Peacock relationship.

NXT’s next major event will be NXT Deadline and take place on December 10.
The show will take place on the same day as Ring of Honor’s Final Battle 2023 pay-per-view event, but it is believed the shows will start at different times to avoid a crossover.
