by WWE NXT Heatwave 2026 predictions
Men’s NXT championship: Tony D’Angelo (c) vs. Grayson Waller vs. Cruz Montana vs. Zilla Fatu
Prediction – Grayson Waller
Reason – Waller is red hot right now and if it was going to be Cruz, it would have been better served as a cross promotional with TNA when he was still there are Santana. Zilla Fatu is still new and they need to build his character with the NXT crowd first. D’Angelo always does better chasing then champion.
Women’s NXT championship: Kendal Grey (c) vs. Kelani Jordan
Prediction – Kendal Grey
Reason – Jordan’s return has been a nice surprise but Grey is red hot and this reign still has some legs on it.
Men’s North American championship: Myles Borne (c) vs. Jackson Drake
Prediction – Myles Borne
Reason – NXT creative seems to love Borne and has for years. They will not have two titles on him however as they want to focus on his singles run. More on that later.
Winner Takes All Triple threat match to unify the Women’s North American and Speed titles: Zaria (NA) vs. Wren Sinclair (S) vs. Kali Armstrong
Prediction – Zaria
Reason – They wouldn’t have had her turn on Sol Ruca is they didn’t have plans to push her hard on the singles roster. Zaria is a star in the making and needs the strap.
NXT Tag Team championship: Myles Borne and Tavion Heights (c) vs. The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes)
Prediction – The Vanity Project
Reason – As mentioned before, the singles run of Borne is where the focus is. NXT needs more true tag teams and The Vanity Project gives them that.
Submission match: Jaida Parker vs. Nattie
Prediction – Jaida Parker
Reason – Has Nattie ever won a match?
