Why the main event matters for WWE NXT
The finish blended spectacle with controversy. As ProWrestling.net’s Hit List noted, the ref bump and reversed three-count added drama without derailing a strong match. Consequently, Evans looks dangerous in defeat, while Femi retains his aura as a dominant champion.
Moreover, a brief staredown with Ricky Saints after the bell signaled where the title scene may head next. Therefore, the brand leaves Heatwave with momentum and multiple viable challengers ready to step up.
What’s next after Heatwave for WWE NXT
With Femi still atop the mountain, a rematch with Evans feels earned, yet Saints’ confrontation could jump the line. Additionally, the tag division resets around DarkState, while Lola Vice’s win puts her on a collision course with the women’s champion.
Cross-promotion threads continue as Ash By Elegance walks out with the Knockouts title, keeping the door open for more TNA-NXT interactions. In short, WWE NXT rolls into fall with clear stories and fresh matchups.
Bottom line: Heatwave delivered statement wins, a headline-grabbing table spot, and a controversial championship finish—everything you want from a summer PLE. For fans tracking every twist, this was a can’t-miss chapter for WWE NXT.
