Solo Sikoa
Zilla Fatu is competing for the NXT Championship. He is the youngest cousin of The Bloodline, and therefore it can be expected that someone like Solo Sikoa, who is the toast of the WWE universe, will appear. Having Solo Sikoa appear at NXT Heatwave will generate news, and it would make storyline sense. Solo Sikoa could pump up his babyface cousin, and the fans will give him a raucous reception.
Layla Diggs
Layla Diggs is one of the up-and-coming women that is looking to make a statement in WWE. Having her beat up Nattie during her match because Nattie broke her arm would make storyline sense, and it would give Layla Diggs an opportunity to work on one of the biggest shows of the year. She will greatly appreciate the opportunity to feud against a legend.
CM Punk
This is the wild card name in this list. CM Punk is the WWE Champion, and he has no business being in NXT, but as this show is going head-to-head against AEW All In, WWE would want one of their biggest stars to make an appearance. CM Punk appearing at any show becomes must see TV and he would draw viewers from the AEW All In show. The best part is that CM Punk loves NXT.
Leon Slater
TNA and NXT have not had any crossover in quite some time. Leon Slater is in TNA, and he is a favorite of the NXT bosses. They see him as a future WWE superstar, but TNA and NXT could use some crossovers. Taking on AEW All In would require everything they have, and WWE should utilize this relationship this night. Leon Slater is looking to become the TNA World Champion.
