Karmen proceeds to challenge Jazmyn to a match.
Je’Von Evans PromoÂ
It’s my first PLE and I’m in the main event. Yo, this is crazy. I never left the country before. How do you get a passport for this? If you want to ask if I’m tripping about this not being a one-on-one match because I won the battle royal. Come on, bro, like, I’m going to wrestle in front of the biggest crowd I’ve ever wrestled in front of. I’m not scared of Shawn. I’m not scared of Ethan, either. And I’m not scared of Trick. It’s all love, but, you know, I’m coming after them. And I’m coming back, over the border, the new NXT Champion.
Kelani Jordan Promo
All my life, I wanted my name in record books. But to be written on those pages, I had to work like a champion. All I know is structure. A one-track mind, but it’s produced results. 5X Jr. Olympic National Qualifier. Second overall in the national on floor. Full ride scholarship to Michigan State University. 3X MVP. 3X Captain. Nominee for NCAA Athlete Of The Year. And now, the first ever Women’s North American Champion. Pressure comes with being the champion, especially being the first. But no one is going to defend this title like Lani. Being a gymnast, no accolade can be taken away from me, but this title can be. Sol Ruca has everything to be a champion. She’s an unparalleled athlete who deserves this match. But like Michael Jordan says, people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen. And at NXT Heatwave, Lani is going to make it happen.

Both Stone and Turner are trying to curry favor with AVA. Stevie says that Stone is acting like a nark now.
Shawn Spears PromoÂ
I returned to NXT to guide, to lead this very talented, but inexperienced and young talent. I wanted to share my wealth of knowledge, but it’s been met with reluctance. So, now I lead by example. This Sunday, I return to home to Toronto, and I will reach the pinnacle. Then the young crop of talents, even the ones that I’ve had my eyes on, they’ll finally see the light. I already put down Je’Von Evans. And I was the first man to pin Trick Williams since he became champion. They will follow my lead, because this Sunday, Ethan Page, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, at NXT Heatwave, I will win the NXT Championship.

– Andre Chase is giving a history lesson about tag team title matches that have taken place in Toronto over the years. DIY became the NXT Tag Teams Champions in Toronto. Toronto is where The Street Profits retained their tag team titles. And on July 7th, Chase University will become the motherfucking 2X NXT Tag Team Champions. Duke Hudson opens up about Ridge Holland causing their team to cheat last week. Ridge really wanted to be part of the family and he just wanted to help. Mr. Chase says that nobody in Chase U is free of mistakes. Mr. Chase tells Ridge stay back as the rest of Chase U will go to Heatwave.
– Charlie Dempsey doesn’t want Myles Borne to listen to Damon Kemp.
– Eddy Thorpe had a backstage confrontation with Lexis King. Lexis pokes fun at Eddy being a DJ. Rock N Roll is the way to go for the king. Eddy likes EDM music. Lexis says that Eddy wouldn’t know what cool is if it slapped him in the face. Eddy says that maybe if the king opened his mind and his ears, he could learn something new.
Roxanne Perez & Lola Vice SegmentÂ
Lola Vice:Â The clock is ticking, Roxanne. So, come out here, your days are counted. What is this, the champion needs all of this security? I must have shaken you bad, mama.
Roxanne Perez:Â No, you brutally attacked me last week, stole my championship, and ran away it, so they’re just here to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
Lola Vice: So, by attack you mean, knocked you out, cold? Then, sure.
Roxanne Perez:Â Look, Lola, you can drop the act. You can stop trying to intimidate me, because it’s not going to work. Because behind that Latina badass that you’re giving, I can see right through you. And I know, this Sunday is the most important match of your entire career.
Lola Vice: You’re damn right, it is.
Roxanne Perez: Yup. Yup. I have been watching your every move, Lola. But within a few months, you’ve built a bigger name for yourself in NXT than you did in Bellator. And good for you, because clearly, you’re the not the same woman that cashed in her breakout contract and screwed me out of my title. Which, by the way, thank you for that, because look at where I am right now.
Lola Vice: You are the champion, Roxanne, no doubt. But whether I’m in this ring, or in the cage, I am a fighter.
Roxanne Perez: What I was trying to get to was that I saw your match at Battleground with Shayna. And I’m going to be completely, completely honest. I probably couldn’t last two minutes in that type of match with Shayna, I probably couldn’t. But the big problem for you Lola is, this is not Bellator, we’re not in the Underground, this isn’t an MMA Fight. This Sunday, it’s a wrestling match, in a 20×20 ring, which means you’re in my world, a world that I’m clearly, already a master of. And you know it better than anybody else, right, Lola, styles make fights. But I’m not going to fight your fight, I’m going to make you wrestle my style of match.
Lola Vice: Roxanne, I was a fighter before I was even born. We all know your story. You used to take the bus to go to Booker’s, six hours. I respect that sacrifice, but I haven’t told my story, my story of sacrifice. My mother was pregnant with me during her black belt test. Then I went on to become a fourth-degree master. I was training in the Olympics, but my mom got sick, so I went into MMA to provide for my family. And at 20, I was already fighting in Madison Square Garden. My mother will be watching me on Sunday, and I can’t wait to call her, and tell her, Mommy, I did it. For all of your sacrifices, mom, I’m the new NXT Women’s Champion.
Roxanne Perez: I didn’t know all of that. I mean, I can look at you, and I can clearly see that you believe every word that you’re saying, and I respect your story. But the reality is, Lola, that every single woman in that locker room wants to make that same phone call. But the reality is that, when you step inside the ring with me, and I put my title on the line, those phone calls are never made. Because with every single match, with every single victory, I prove time and time again why they call me the prodigy, Lola. Ask Natalya. Ask Jordynne Grace. Ask Lyra Valkyria, why at 22 years old, I’m already building a legacy. A 2X NXT Women’s Champion. You’re not going to take this title away from me, Lola. And it’s simply unfortunate that your NXT career was in the middle of my era. I’m not giving up my title, not to you, not to anybody in that damn locker room.
Lola Vice: You don’t have to give it to me, Roxanne, I’m gonna take it from you. You hit with me your best shot, and I smiled. I hit my, and you woke up without that title. On Sunday, I’m one step closer to showing why I’m the greatest to crossover from MMA to the WWE. And on Sunday, when I rip that title off your arm, I will become the first Cuban American NXT Women’s Champion. We may be in your world, Roxanne, but after I knock you out, you won’t know what world you’re in.
Ethan Page PromoÂ
I rocked the foundation of NXT when I took out Oro Mensah and Noam Dar. I crafted that foundation when I debut, taking out the NXT Champion, Trick Williams. I have been building a reputation all around the world, and now I’m exactly where I need to be. After Battleground, Trick Williams found out who was the better man. Then Je’Von Evans found out the exact same thing when I pinned him in the middle of the ring. Sure, of course I respect fellow Canadian, Shawn Spears, but there’s only room for one of us, one of us to be the guy in NXT. And that’s All Ego, baby. This Sunday, at Heatwave, I will do what I’ve been intending to do since I came to NXT. “All Ego” Ethan Page will become the NXT Champion.

Sunday. Heatwave. Toronto. This is my biggest test yet. Three challengers, they all got cases. The Young OG, Goofy Ass Spears, and All Talk Ethan Page. Fatal Four Way Match, where anything can happen, but the only thing that will happen, is that I will retain my NXT Championship. And this Sunday at Heatwave, you already know what’s going down. I retain my NXT Title.
Shawn Michaels Statement On Brooks JensenÂ
Over the past several months, there’s been many disturbances in NXT, caused by one young man, Brooks Jensen. If you follow Brooks on social media, he’s made some very disparaging remarks about the NXT Brand. I’ve seen reports claiming that Brooks Jensen was released from his contract, but that is not the case. After splitting from Josh Briggs, Brooks began to spiral, and he was asked by NXT management to take a sabbatical, to clear his head and to get himself together. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. We were forced to take action, to keep him away from live events and TV. The easiest thing to do after his behavior is to let him go, but Brooks is part of NXT, and I believe in second chances. Next Tuesday, I would like to invite Brooks to have a sit-down discussion with our NXT General Manager, AVA, to talk about his future and see if we can steer him in the right direction. Thank you.

– Axiom is pissed that Nathan Frazer is not focused about their upcoming title defense at NXT Heatwave. He’s been more preoccupied with his recent showings on WWE Speed. Frazer is more focused on his match with Xavier Woods, but he’ll be ready to go on Sunday, and he’s not overlooking Chase U. They’re the best tag team in the game, they have nothing to worry about.
– Karmen Petrovic storms into AVA’s office. AVA informs Karmen that her and Arianna Grace will take on Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx on the Countdown To NXT Heatwave Special.
– Sol Ruca Vignette.
Trick Williams, Ethan Page, Je’Von Evans, Shawn Spears Contract Signing
Trick Williams: Hey, yo, check it. There’s a heatwave coming to Toronto, and I know that you boys are hungry, but it don’t matter. Because in Toronto, the people are going to be chanting one thing. NXT, tell them what we going to do.
Ethan Page: Trick, Trick, Trick, this is exactly why I love you, dude, I do. I absolutely love this about you. You don’t care, man, do you? You don’t care if it’s a singles match, if it’s a 4-Way match, you’re going to bring that same energy no matter what. You fight for these people. You fight with your emotions. You’re the champ, dude. Honestly, if I’m being real here, you’re probably the hottest thing in WWE, right now.
Trick Williams: Let’s talk about it.
Ethan Page: But this swagger, this swagger, yeah, I’ve seen this before. I saw this at Battleground, you know, that match I would’ve won, except.
Trick Williams: But, but, you didn’t. You got whooped, so quit wasting everybody’s time, and come out here and say what you were trying to say.
Ethan Page:Â I was going to until your rude ass interrupted me. This swagger, this swagger you’re bringing out here, you plan to bring this Sunday. Pal, this Sunday ain’t the same thing as Vegas, it’s not the same thing as Battleground, this a 4-Way. I don’t have to beat you to win that. But I can beat you. Oh, Trick, I can beat you, I just don’t have to. Trick, the odds in this match, yeah, they’re not in your favor.
Trick Williams: You don’t think I don’t know what the stakes are? You don’t think I don’t know what Sunday is? You don’t think I don’t know that my back is against the wall? Page, my back has always been against the wall, but I come through every single time, let’s talk about it. I probably got less experience than anybody who’s ever held that NXT Title. But guess what, I wear it well. And that’s why I grind so hard, that’s why I put in the work. Now, Ethan always comes around here talking about his resume. Talk about all the work he’s put in, talk about all the accolades, well, Trick Willy got a resume as well. And come this Sunday, I’m going to add one more win to it.
Shawn Spears:Â My god, you love the sound of your own voice, don’t you? And you like to believe that every single word you say, Trick. Just pure emotion pouring out of you. Hey, I don’t agree with Ethan, though, I don’t agree with him a bit. I love this emotion, Trick. So, here’s what I want you to do, champ. I want you to keep doing your thing, because it’s that emotion that’s going to bring me that NXT Championship at Heatwave. It’s your emotion that got you pinned by me last week. It’s that same emotion that got my hand raised. Spoiler alert, Trick, at Heatwave this Sunday, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, my hand is going to be raised, again. So, here’s the way I see it, boys. I got a champion who wears his heart on his sleeve. I see another guy whose hell bent on feeding his ego. And a 20-year-old kid that’s just happy to be here, right, Je’Von? You just happy?
Je’Von Evans:Â Oh, yeah, 20-year-old kid, we’ve been saying that joke ever since I got here. Okay, 20-year-old kid, that’s what we’re going to do right now?
Shawn Spears:Â Hold on, relax, I was just mentioning what I saw in your video earlier. It’s your first PLE, in just a short time. You’re headlining, Je’Von. I’m going to be right there with you the whole way. You know, Je’Von, you remind me of that sports team that makes it to the World Series or the NBA Finals or the SuperBowl, but doesn’t have a shot in hell in winning the big one, but is just happy for the experience, right?
Je’Von Evans:Â Hey, you know what’s crazy? It’s crazy that everybody wants to use my age against me, like, I’m not a threat or I’m a punk. We’ll see about that. NXT, if you hear me, say yerrr. Okay, is The Young OG nervous for this Sunday? I’m not going to lie. Hell yeah, I’m a little nervous, but is The Young OG is excited for this Sunday? Oh, okay, I’m excited, because when I walk into Heatwave, everybody is going to know that, that boy is bouncy. But we’re talking about experience, right? Experience, that’s the main thing we’re talking about. So, Shawn, since we’re talking about experience, how about you tell everybody how much experience you’ve had holding the NXT Championship? Oh, I got the answer, you don’t have any, so when I walk into Heatwave, I’m going to leave the NXT Champion, and then I’m going to show you what an NXT Champion looks like. And that’s on everything that I love.
Shawn Spears: How do you feel about that, champ? Did you hear what he just talking about?
Trick Williams: Yeah, I heard what he said.
Ethan Page:Â You may have heard it, but I don’t know if you liked it very much. And to be honest with you there, champ, me and Shawn Spears here, we both have beaten Je’Von Evans. The question is, can you? Because I’ve been in the ring with both you guys, and I’m going to tell you something, I don’t like your odds too much.
Trick Williams: Well, I don’t like you. And when it comes to this NXT Title, it’s every man for himself. But I’m not blind, we all see, Young OG, clap it up for him. He’s been doing his thing. He’s been making noise since arriving in NXT. And we all know that he’s bouncy but let me make one thing clear, OG, you can do a lot of things, and I like you a lot, dog, I really do, but one thing you can’t do, that neither one of you can do for that matter, is take this NXT Title from me on Sunday.
Shawn Spears: Technically, if Je’Von pins Page, that makes him the NXT Champion.
Ethan Page: Hold up, that’s not going to happen. I’ve already beat him. When I beat Je’Von, I’m going to become the NXT Champion. And I don’t know if you like that.
Shawn Spears:Â No, no, no, that’s not going to happen, because I’m gonna be the NXT Champion, you’re going to be disappointed, and you’ll still be 20-years-old.
Je’Von Evans: Oh my god. I’m about to run through your dumbass if you keep talking. Yeah. Yeah. And you know what, both of y’all can keep stirring up the drama. And Trick, I love you, you my dog, but Sunday I’m coming for that title. And there’s nothing you and these two bums can do about it.
A massive pier six brawl ensues as the show goes off the air.
