Tables, ladders and chairs are heading to NXT this December as WWE brings back TLC for the brand’s final premium live event of 2026.
The announcement came during Saturday’s Halloween Havoc, confirming that NXT TLC will take place on December 12 at the WWE Performance Center. The event replaces Deadline, which has filled NXT’s end-of-year premium live event slot in recent years.
WWE last held a TLC pay-per-view in December 2020. That show ended with Randy Orton defeating “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt in a Firefly Inferno match, while Roman Reigns retained the Universal Championship against Kevin Owens in a TLC match.
The announcement followed a busy night at Halloween Havoc, where Grayson Waller defeated Tony D’Angelo to retain the NXT Championship in the main event. His next challenge quickly emerged, with CM Punk stepping forward for a title match this Wednesday.
Kelani Jordan also kept hold of the NXT Women’s Championship with a victory over Wren Sinclair. She will defend the title again on Wednesday against a mystery opponent.
Elsewhere, Shiloh Hill defeated Naraku, Zilla Fatu beat Charlie Dempsey in a Very Nice, Very Evil match, and Izzi Dame overcame Zaria. Myles Borne also picked up a victory over Tavion Heights in a Weapons Wild match.
