NXT Heatwave 2025, the next NXT premium live event under WWE’s banner, is scheduled for later this month, and hence, the official builds for the show have started on the weekly episode of NXT. The latest bygone NXT show went down last night from the WWE Performance Center, airing live on The CW, confirming two title matches for the upcoming PLE.
The first match to be confirmed for NXT Heatwave 2025 was Hank & Tank defending the NXT Tag Team titles against two members of Darkstate. On the August 5 episode of NXT, Hank & Tank were wrestling Uriah Connors and Kale Dixon when all four members of Darkstate entered the ring and attacked both teams.
The champions went to Ava to complain about the situation when the NXT General Manager announced that the two would defend their NXT Tag Team titles against two members of Darkstate at NXT Heatwave 2025. Shortly after, Ava also declared the potential main event of the night in the form of the NXT Championship Match.
