This week’s episode of WWE NXT was all about the fallouts from the NXT Heatwave Premium Live Event that went down on July 7 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, last weekend. The episode also set the tone for an exciting line-up for next week’s edition of the show which includes a championship match on the card.
Oba Femi will defend the WWE NXT North American title, next week. As revealed during this Tuesday’s show, he will put the title on the line against Chase U’s Duke Hudson. Following Chase U’s impressive outing at Heatwave, Ridge Holland requested a huge match for his cohort, Duke Hudson and it was granted by the NXT GM, Ava. Femi last retained his title with a victory over Wes Lee at Heatwave last Sunday.
