NXT Heatwave 2026 will probably be the most important NXT PPV of the year so far. This show can change the complexion of the NXT divisions, and it could also be the last match in NXT for a few before they move on to the main roster. This show will have 5 matches, and it will take place on 30th August 2026.
Let’s look at the match card for NXT Heatwave 2026
Tony D'Angelo vs. Grayson Waller vs. Cruz Montana vs Zilla Fatu for NXT Championship
This will be the main event for the NXT Championship. This will be a match that will have the most experienced wrestler that has wrestled for NXT in Tony D'Angelo, and the 3 challengers are the hottest new stars in NXT. Grayson Waller is the best promo in NXT, and the fans love him. Cruz Montana and Zilla Fatu are the new free agents that WWE has signed for NXT. This will be a very good match, and anyone can win.
Tony D'Angelo looks to be going to the main roster finally. A new champion being crowned is very likely.
Kendal Grey vs Kelani Jordan for NXT Women’s Championship
This is the first of the 2 women’s title matches on this PPV. This will be for the NXT Women’s Championship. Kendal Grey has recently won the title, and it should be likely that she will hold onto it for a long time. However, Triple H would want her to come to the main roster, and he would push her to the moon.
Kendal Grey is a blue-chip prospect. Kelani Jordan has been in NXT for many years, and she could win the NXT Women’s title. This will be an excellent professional wrestling match.
Zaria vs Wren Sinclair in a unification match for the NXT Women’s North American Championship and Women’s Speed Championship
A title unification match is one of the rarest kinds of matches that happen in professional wrestling. This is a match where both types of wrestlers are champions going into it, and by the end of the match, only 1 will have both the titles. Zaria has been the NXT Women’s North American Champion for a while, and she has been a great champion. Her opponent Wren Sinclair is the Women’s Speed Champion, and this match will be under normal wrestling rules. This looks to be the last match that the Speed Championship will have.
Myles Bourne vs Jackson Drake for NXT North American Championship
The Men’s NXT North American Championship will also be on the line at this PPV. Myles Bourne is a double champion in NXT, and he has had the NXT North American Championship for a long time now. His opponent Jackson Drake knows Myles Bourne very well. This will be a very competitive match, and both men will need to step up and steal the spotlight. The fans hate Myles Bourne, and they want Jackson Drake to win.
Myles Bourne and Tavion Heights vs The Vanity Project for NXT Tag Team Championship
Myles Bourne will have double duty at this PPV. It is after a long time that an NXT superstar will have double duty in an NXT show. This will be the first match he has at the show. His partner Tavion Heights will have to do the heavy lifting in this match. Their opponents, The Vanity Project, include Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes. They are a professional tag team. This match will be a closely fought match, but the biggest question will be Myles Bourne, as his interest levels in wrestling in this match will determine the result.
