– Inside the women’s locker room, Roxanne Perez overhears Karmen Petrovic talking about her tag team match with Lola Vice last week. Didn’t Karmen just have issues with Lola a few weeks ago, and now they’re best friends? Yes, Karmen doesn’t like Lola, but she’ll give credit where its due. Did Roxanne see what Lola did to Shayna Baszler at Battleground? Karmen says that Lola is on top of her game. Roxanne feels the same way about herself. Every single woman in the division is incapable of reaching her level. Karmen asks Roxanne if she’s trying to convince herself that. Roxanne says that Karmen should sit back and watch the stars of the women’s division, and maybe one day she’ll get there. Karmen believes that she can prove Roxanne wrong and walks away.

Despite his growing concern of Frazer letting his individual goals get in the way of their tag team, he’ll be out there to support him tonight. Dante wishes Frazer the best of luck. Frazer has the opportunity to become a 2X Heritage Cup Champion.

Ethan Page, AVA, Shawn Spears, Trick Willams Segment 

Ethan Page: Ladies and gentlemen, Heatwave, oh, Heatwave is a week away from Sunday, and it is absolutely heating up. I mean, we just saw who’s going to be challenging for the NXT Tag Team Titles. And this company, this company has already announced the main event. They’ve announced who will be facing Trick Williams for the NXT Title. And it’s going to be the winner of the battle royal, Je’Von Evans. Yeah, whatever. Je’Von Evans, winner of the battle royal, the only problem is that Je’Von Evans won a battle royal that Ethan Page was never eliminated from. And what did I do after that? Oh, that’s right, in the same night he became the number one contender, Ethan Page pinned his ass in the middle of the ring. So, if you ask All Ego, I think the match should be scrapped, because Je’Von Evans, yeah, he needs to be out, and All Ego needs to be in. So, I’m going to keep it professional, because now I would like to publicly and professionally invite the general manager, AVA, out here to change that main event, unless AVA you might be busy right now in your office with Trick Williams, who’s probably begging you to never let Ethan Page get another NXT Title Match. Oh, this is good. Come on out.

AVA: Wow, okay, alright, so I guess that All Ego isn’t just a catchphrase. You really believe it. You really think that you deserve the world, and that you can do no wrong. Yikes.

Ethan Page: Yes, exactly. When you’re somebody like All Ego, who constantly bets on himself, and every time he does, he wins and levels up his career, the name All Ego is very warranted. So, now that you’re out here, AVA, I think it’s time you change the main event of Heatwave, real quick.

AVA: Alright, okay, so one thing about me Ethan is that I don’t like it when superstars try to back me into a corner, and you’re going to learn that really quick.

Ethan Page: Okay, I’m sorry.

AVA: But unfortunately, you know in all fairness, you do have a point. You did pin Je’Von.

Shawn Spears: AVA, AVA, I do apologize for the interruption, but I can’t have you make any rash decisions in this moment. Ethan, I don’t have a problem with you, not at all. We’ve traveled the same roads, we come from the same area, it’s actually quite refreshing to see somebody following in my footsteps. Literally taking my lead, out here boasting that last week you defeated Je’Von Evans, but forgetting the simple fact that two weeks ago, I was the guy who pinned Je’Von, first. So, before you try and weasel.

Ethan Page: I don’t understand how you’re getting this all twisted in that warped brain of yours, Shawn. I know I was a little busy with Oro in that battle royal, maybe I missed the ending. No, that’s right, you can watch the replay, I remember seeing your ass get tossed over that top rope by Je’Von Evans and getting eliminated.

Shawn Spears: And that is something you can never do even on your best day. Speaking of things that you can’t do, tonight, I am going to pin Trick Williams. And after I beat Trick, I’m going to make AVA’s decision a whole lot easier.

Trick Williams: Yo, yo, yo. Shawn Spears, sit your goofy ass down. I’m going to beat you up later on tonight, so I don’t know why you’re doing a lot of that talking. Now, AVA, when it comes to my opponent at Heatwave, I’m going to tell you right now, it don’t matter. I don’t care if it’s that bum, Ethan Page. I don’t care if it’s The Young OG, Je’Von Evans. I don’t care if it’s both of them. But I do know one thing. when we get to Toronto, the people will be chanting one thing, and that is, Whoop That Trick.

Page and Spears gangs up on Williams. Je’Von storms into the ring to make the save. Williams and Evans clear the ring. AVA is holding the NXT Title as the segment concludes.

– Ridge Holland runs into The New Catch Republic in the backstage area. Pete Dunne says that he owes Ridge a receipt for what happened out there. Ridge says that there’s no hard feelings, they just got a bad draw. Wasn’t Ridge supposed to go on his own journey, now he’s wearing a Chase U shirt? Hank Walker & Tank Ledger challenges The New Catch Republic to a match for next week. They want to test themselves against one of the best tag teams in the world.

– Coming out of the commercial break, Mr. Stone and Stevie Turner debate their qualities as being a potential assistant to AVA. Stone calls Stevie a nark. Neither refuse to leave. Stone says that Stevie couldn’t beat him on his best day.

Winner: Wes Lee via Pinfall 

– Sarah Schreiber had a backstage interview with Tony D’Angelo. The only thing The Don is concerned about is what kind of afterparty he’s going to have tonight. Nathan Frazer is dangerously fast, he’s a current tag team champion, has a lot more experience in these Heritage Cup Matches, but Stacks and Luca gave him a game plan and it’s going to work. He’s going to punch Frazer in the mouth and see how he responds. The cup will remain with The Family.
