WWE NXT is heating up as we roll into August with championship gold on the line, breakout talents hungry for spotlight, and a veteran monster looking to dominate. The August 5, 2025 edition of NXT on The CW promises high-octane action and storyline momentum as we close in on NXT Heatwave.

🎙️ Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
With NXT continuing to push both next-gen prospects and global talent, tonight’s card feels like a balance of future potential and heavy-hitting action. Sol Ruca’s title reign has been defined by athleticism—but Tatum Paxley is pure chaos, which makes her a dangerous threat. Don’t overlook Yoshiki Inamura either—his NJPW-like intensity could make him a sleeper breakout in the months to come. And if Lexis King doesn’t make a statement soon, his once-hyped momentum may officially fizzle out.
Prediction: Expect at least one title to almost change hands—but NXT loves to tease that drama.
