The results for last night’s WWE NXT Heatwave 2026 are in.

WWE NXT Heatwave took place from the Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg, Texas, on August 30, with five championships changing hands and Grayson Waller leaving the show as the new NXT Champion.

The show opened with Zaria, Wren Sinclair and Kali Armstrong competing to unify the NXT Women’s North American and WWE Women’s Speed Championships. All three women came close to victory during a fast-paced opening contest, with Sinclair applying a Reverse Chicken Wing to Zaria late in the match.

Armstrong broke up the submission before catching Sinclair with a powerslam on the outside. However, Zaria capitalised back inside the ring, hitting Armstrong with a spear followed by an F5 to secure the victory. The result saw Zaria retain the NXT Women’s North American Championship while also becoming the new WWE Women’s Speed Champion.

Myles Borne and Tavion Heights then defended the NXT Tag Team Championship against Vanity Project’s Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes. The challengers repeatedly used distractions to gain an advantage before Borne and Heights fought their way back into the contest.

The closing stages saw Heights and Smokes spill to the outside, leaving Borne and Baylor in the ring. Baylor sent Borne crashing into Heights before Smokes tagged in and Vanity Project connected with Hit It and Quit It to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions.

Jaida Parker faced Nattie in a Submission Match, with Nikkita Lyons and Karmen Petrovic initially accompanying Nattie. Petrovic eventually left after Berto, Angel and AAA star Daga appeared on the entrance ramp, while Thea Hail later emerged to brawl with Lyons towards the back.

With Parker and Nattie finally left alone, Parker applied a Sharpshooter. Nattie initially reached the bottom rope, but Parker dragged her back into the centre of the ring and forced her to submit.

Kelani Jordan then challenged Kendal Grey for the NXT Women’s Championship. Jordan targeted Grey’s arm throughout the match, while the champion repeatedly looked to finish the contest with an Ankle Lock.

Jordan survived the submission attempts and eventually sent Grey ear-first into the turnbuckle before connecting with a split-legged moonsault to secure the victory and become the new NXT Women’s Champion.

Backstage, Tavion Heights expressed his disappointment over losing the NXT Tag Team Championship alongside Myles Borne. Heights told Borne they needed to do whatever it took to keep the NXT North American Championship around his waist and said he would remain his brother for life.

Borne then defended that championship against Jackson Drake. Heights appeared at ringside to support his partner, but outside interference from Vanity Project ultimately proved decisive.

With Ricky Smokes distracting the referee, Lockwood delivered a modified powerslam to Borne on the outside. Heights took out Smokes, but Drake capitalised by hitting Borne with a 450 Splash to become the new NXT North American Champion.

After the match, Borne suddenly turned on Heights and hit his tag team partner with Borne Again before heading backstage.

In the main event, Tony D’Angelo defended the NXT Championship against Grayson Waller, Cruz Montana and Zilla Fatu in a Fatal Four-Way Match.

The action eventually spilled around ringside, where Zilla cleared the announce desk before attempting to put Waller through it. Waller escaped by raking Zilla’s eyes before later climbing to the top rope and delivering an elbow drop that sent Zilla crashing through the announce desk.

That left D’Angelo and Montana inside the ring. D’Angelo intercepted an attempted Spin The Block with a spear, but Montana recovered and connected with the move at the second attempt.

Before Montana could capitalise, Waller returned and threw him out of the ring before covering D’Angelo himself to steal the victory and become the new NXT Champion.
