WWE NXT will present the next themed episode within two weeks in the form of Heatwave which will be the tradition’s second installment. The first match for the show has been booked during the latest edition of NXT between Ilja Dragunov and Trick Williams.
These two WWE NXT Superstars had an intense segment in the ring during this week’s episode. Williams has long been intending to make it clear that he’s not a sidekick to Carmelo Hayes and he will be given a chance to prove the same at Heatwave. After all, Ilja Dragunov has already offered him quite a battle in two weeks.
Also, Trick’s buddy Carmelo Hayes will also be putting his WWE NXT Championship on the line at Heatwave. Wes Lee and Dijak will throw down in a number-one contender’s match next week. The winner of that match has been confirmed to receive a shot at Hayes’ Title at Heatwave.

Also, it appears that a matchup between Lyra Valkyria and Rhea Ripley would be there after the two had an altercation on this week’s WWE NXT. Since nothing has been confirmed, the match could also be turned into a mixed tag team affair involving Dominik and Dragon Lee. At this point, the lineup for Heatwave goes as follows,
– NXT Championship Match: Carmelo Hayes vs. Wes Lee/Dijak
– Ilja Dragunov vs. Trick Williams
Before going into Heatwave, WWE NXT will present a stacked episode, next week which will include an NXT Tag Team Title match. Tony D’Angelo and his buddy Stacks will put their tag titles on the line for the first time against The Dyad. The number-one contender’s match will be on the show. Plus, Dana Brooke will get another shot to prove her potential on NXT as she goes into a match against Blair Davenport in singles action.
