No. 1 Contender Match: Trick Williams vs. Je’Von Evans
In the main event, TNA World Champion Trick Williams will go head-to-head with rising star Je’Von Evans. The winner will become the number one contender for Oba Femi’s NXT Championship at Heatwave. Both superstars bring explosive athleticism and championship pedigree, making this a must-see clash with massive implications.
Street Fights and Singles Action Intensify
Brutality takes center stage as Josh Briggs squares off with Japanese powerhouse Yoshiki Inamura in a no-holds-barred Street Fight. Meanwhile, Jasper Troy looks to make a statement in singles competition against Ricky Saints. With momentum heading into Heatwave on the line, expect these matches to deliver hard-hitting intensity.
Inter-Promotional Warfare: Fatal Influence vs. The Elegance Brand
In a rare NXT-TNA crossover, the women’s divisions collide as Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Jazmyn Nyx) take on The Elegance Brand (Ash, Heather, and M By Elegance). To ensure order or perhaps chaos, Masha Slamovich will serve as the special guest referee. Expect tensions, alliances, and rivalries to explode.
Final Words Before Heatwave
