Updated WWE NXT Heatwave 2025 Match Card
The stage is officially set for WWE NXT Heatwave 2025, and the card is stacked with championship clashes, personal grudges, and high-stakes showdowns. From Oba Femi defending the NXT Championship against Je’Von Evans to Jordynne Grace finally colliding with Blake Monroe, this year’s Heatwave promises to be one of the most explosive events in NXT history. See below with the most recent updated line-up for this Sunday August 24th.
Oba Femi (c) vs. Je’Von Evans – NXT Championship
The unstoppable powerhouse versus the hungry high-flyer — this one has “classic” written all over it. Oba Femi has been running through everyone in NXT, blending freakish strength with scary composure. Je’Von Evans, “The Young OG,” earned his shot by surviving Trick Williams in a main-event war, thanks in part to a timely Mike Santana distraction. Evans has the speed and fire to push Femi like few others have, but can he actually take down NXT’s most dominant champion?
Jaida Parker vs. Kelani Jordan vs. Lola Vice – No. 1 Contender’s Match (NXT Women’s Championship)
This triple threat is as unpredictable as it gets. Jaida Parker brings raw power, Kelani Jordan has been gaining momentum with her athleticism, and Lola Vice is as dangerous as they come with her striking game. With Jacy Jayne and Fatal Influence looming over the women’s division, the winner of this match isn’t just fighting for a title shot—they’re fighting to change the entire balance of power in NXT.
Hank & Tank (c) vs. DarkState – NXT Tag Team Championship
Hank Walker and Tank Ledger have become fan favorites with their no-nonsense, heavy-hitting style. But DarkState? They’re one of the most chaotic and dangerous factions we’ve seen in years. Dion Lennox, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin, and Cutler James thrive on punishment and intimidation, and they’ve made life miserable for anyone in their path. Can Hank & Tank hang onto the gold, or will DarkState’s numbers game finally catch up to the champs?
Jacy Jayne (c) vs. Ash By Elegance vs. Masha Slamovich – TNA Knockouts World Championship
Cross-promotion chaos comes to Heatwave. Jacy Jayne shocked the wrestling world when she captured the TNA Knockouts Championship, adding even more gold to her resume. Now, she’s got two killers gunning for her: the ruthless Ash By Elegance and the no-nonsense Masha Slamovich. With Fatal Influence lurking and Slamovich doubling as the wild card, this could be the most unpredictable match of the night.
Ethan Page & Chelsea Green vs. Tavion Heights & Tyra Mae Steele – Mixed Tag Match
What started as a “peace treaty” quickly blew up into a heated rivalry. Ethan Page and Chelsea Green came in with smug confidence, but Tavion Heights and Olympic gold medalist Tyra Mae Steele weren’t about to play nice. This one isn’t just about bragging rights — it’s about pride, respect, and proving which side has the edge when it really matters. Expect plenty of chaos (and probably some trash talk that’ll trend on X).
Jordynne Grace vs. Blake Monroe
This isn’t just a match — it’s personal. Jordynne Grace came into NXT with high expectations and championship goals, but Blake Monroe turned a friendship into a knife in the back. Monroe has tried to rattle Grace at every turn, even drawing up a contract that barred Jordynne from touching her before Heatwave. Grace has been patient, but the wait is over. When that bell rings, it’s not about titles — it’s about respect, revenge, and redemption.
🗣️ Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
This card is a perfect storm of what makes NXT special right now. You’ve got the unstoppable force (Oba Femi) colliding with a rising star (Evans), a women’s division stacked with talent and tension, tag team chaos, and even TNA crossover drama. Add in deeply personal grudges like Grace vs. Monroe, and Heatwave feels less like “just another PLE” and more like a proving ground for who’s going to define the next era of NXT.
