Conversely, the main event is projected to see a successful title defense. NXT Champion Oba Femi (-400) is heavily favored to retain his championship against number one contender Je’Von Evans (+250).
Evans secured his title opportunity on the August 19 go-home episode of NXT by defeating TNA World Champion Trick Williams, a victory that came following interference from Mike Santana. Femi has held the NXT Championship since January 2025.

Additionally, Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice will compete in a triple threat match to determine a future contender for the NXT Women’s Championship, while Jordynne Grace is scheduled to face Blake Monroe.
NXT Heatwave is set to take place this Sunday, August 24, in Toronto, Canada. The event will air live on Peacock for viewers in the United States and on Netflix for international audiences.
