Video: NXT Heatwave 2026 Recap

A video aired recapping the action from NXT Heatwave 2026.

In-Ring: Zilla Fatu, Tristan Angels

Zilla Fatu, one of the people who did not win a title at Heatwave. Fatu came down to the ring to take on his blood rival— nope, he came to talk. Fatu grabbed a mic and said that he expected to win the NXT Title at Heatwave, but he didn’t get the job done. Because no one can let anyone finish a thought in NXT, Tristan Angels (in some ridiculous pants) came out and said that the NXT fans are bored of him already.

Angels said that Fatu was the lowest end of his bloodline (get it?). Fatu said that he didn’t like Angels’ attitude, so maybe he should beat his ass. Angels said sure and they brawled. Fatu went for the Samoan Spike and Angels bailed from the ring.

Backstage: Robert Stone, EK Prosper, Saquon Shugars, Keanu Carver

Scene switch, interior, Robert Stone’s Office Playset. Saquon Shugars and EK Prosper were complaining about not getting opportunities. Stone said they should both get to the next level, but now that Waller is Champion he has to figure stuff out. Then Keanu Carver came in to make his case for being the #1 Contender. He asked Stone what he was going to do and then the scene was over.

Video: Naraku

A video aired featuring Naraku talking about his issues with Shiloh Hill ahead of their match on the show.

Video: Myles Borne

Back from break, Myles Borne phoned in an interview via X post, saying he took a big swing and struck out at Heatwave. He then addressed Tavion Heights (who he attacked after losing the North American title at Heatwave). He said that he saw Heights looking to turn on him, so he got Heights before Heights could get him.

Shiloh Hill vs. Naraku

Oh jeez, all right. So Hill was hurt for a couple of weeks and fell down a rabbit hole on tiktok about poison mist and the different colors and properties of each. After a miraculous recovery, Hill was about to become No. 1 Contender to now NXT North American Champion Jackson Dake’s belt when Naraku appeared and misted him. Why did he do that, you ask? Beats me, but here we are.

The bell rang and Hill caught Naraku with a takedown. He smacked him onto the mat from a waistlock position and then Naraku chopped him and hit him with a shoulder block. Hill came back with one of his ownand Naraku countered with a throat punch.

It was here that we leared that Zilla Fatu vs Tristan Angels is official for later tonight.

Back in the match, Naraku left the ring and uncovered the announce table, but Hill followed him out and banged his head against the apron. He threw Naraku back into the ring for a flying clothesline. Naraku took control and hit Hill with some strikes and clotheslines.

Naraku wrapped Hill up in a crossface while Booker T tried to imitate what he thinks Naraku’s evil laugh sounds like. Naraku suplexed Hill for a two count and then hit another clothesline. Naraku grabbed a chinlock and Hill punched his way out of the hold. Naraku hit him with a backfist for two.

Naraku maintained control until Hill dodged a corner charge and turned things around with a big boot. Hill hit a gutwrench slam and then a standing moonsault for two. Naraku went back to the throat punch well and then hit a sit out powerbomb. Naraku charged and Hill hit him with a pop up uppercut. Then they both collided in a double clothesline.

Naraku then spit green mist into his hand and rubbed it on Hill’s face behind the ref’s back. He hit a sweeping enter the abyss slam, made a quick pin and that was it.

Winner: Naraku via Pinfall.

Video: Noam Dar, Romeo Moreno, Shawn Legacy, Dorian Van Dux

Scene Change, Interior, NXT Locker Room Playset. Shean Legacy, Dorian Van Dux, Noam Dar and Romero Moreno all discussed the new Tag Champs and how they should be first in line for tag title shots. To sum up, they will have a match later to determine who is “super” and who is “super duper.”

Noam Dar & Romeo Moreno vs. Sean Legacy & Dorian Van Dux

At Heatwave The Vanity Project won the NXT Tag Team Championship back from Myles Borne and Tavion Heights (then there was some stuff with Borne, but we’ve dealt with that via X). Hank and Tank had called next if Vanity project lost, but the didn’t so, Dar and Moreno will take on Legacy and Van Dux to show Robert Stone they deserve to be No. 1 Contenders.

Moreno and Legacy started the match with some rope running and arm dragging. Neither one seemed to be able to catch each other, so DVD and Dar tagged in to give it a go. Dar’s speed seemed to counter DVD’s strength at first, but once the big man god his timing down, he levelled him with a huge clothesline.

Legacy tagged back in and scoop slammed Dar for DVD to drop a cross body on. Moreno caight DVD with a kick through the ropes and grabbed a blind tag. Dar came with him and DVD tried to use Legacy as a weapon, but it ended up in a double ankle lock.

Dar and Legacy fought on the outside and DVD and Moreno joined them. DVD powerbombed Moreno onto the floor and he and Legacy posed for a moment to reflect, while Commentary discussed the Miles Borne/Tavion Heights situation.

Back in the ring, DVD got Dar up for a staaaaalllllling uplex that he held so long, he actually handed Dar off to Legacy to continue the staaaaalllllling. Legacy eventually dropped Dar and got a two count. Moreno grabbed a blind tag and Superkicked Legacy. He hit Legacy with a dropkick and hit him with some amateur-style takedowns.

Dar tagged in and started working Legacy’s arm to try and take away some of his power. Moreno and Dar prevented a hot tag to DVD and Dar tried for a cover. Moreno went up top and tried a moonsault, but Legacy moved and got the tag to DVD who took out Dar and Moreno.

Dar and Legacy tagged in and traded kicks and strikes as the pace picked up. Dar tried a few strikes and slams and managed to get an armbar on Legacy. Moreno ran over and suplexed DVD as Legacy broke the hold, leaving all four laying on the mat. Everyone moved to the outside and Moreno kicked DVD down the steps.

Moreno held Legacy so Dar could hit a double stomp from the top rope for two. Dar worked himself up, but Legacy moved and Dar ended up hitting Moreno with a backfist. Legacy went to finish it off, but his knee gave out and Dar scooped him up for a pin to win the match.

Winner: Noam Dar & Romeo Moreno via Pinfall.

After the match, the Creed Brothers attacked Dar and Moreno, laying them out and declaring their return to NXT.

Backstage: Robert Stone, Zaria, Birthright, Cruz Montana, Keanu Carver

Scene Change, Interior, Robert Stone’s Office Playset. Zaria was in there and decided that she wanted to retire the Speed Championship. For some reason, all of Birthright was there too and Stone told Lexis King that Zaria’s decision means King’s Speed Title is now defunct. King seemed mildly irritated and gave Stone the belt and then the left.

But that wasn’t all because Cruz Santana wandered in asking if he could get a shot a Grayson Waller. Stone said that he had to wait to hear what Waller has to say later in the show, because he’s not the person in charge or anything. Then Keanu Carver came back in and was like “yeah!” and then it was over.

In-Ring: Kelani Jordan, Jaida Parker, Thea Hail

Back from break, new NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan made her way to the ring in one of Trish Stratus’ old coats. Jordan grabbed a mic and said everything you expect her to say, she earned it, she’s the greatest, she’s under appreciated, etc. Jordan said that she didn’t want to hear the fans telling her she deserves it because they never got behind her in the first place.

Jordan went on to recap her match with Kendal Grey at Heatwave including turnbuckle demonstration. Jordan said that she’s the only person to win the NXT North American title, the TNA Knockouts title and now the NXT Women’s Title on her first try at each. Then Jaida Parker came out.

Parker made Nattie tap at Heatwave so she feels like that should put her next in line for the title. Parker said that she’s already beaten Jordan, and she’s got her gear in the back, so why not have a match tonight for the title? Jordan said that she’s got her gear too so they should totally have a match, but not tonight. They will fight NEXT WEEK.

Jordan went to leave but ran into Thea Hail who was coming out for her match.

Thea Hail vs. Nikkita Lyons

Hail danced her way into the Submission Match between Nattie and Jaida Parker at Heatwave, making sure that Nattie couldn’t rely on the damned numbers game to get a win. During that commotion Hail took out Lyons, so now they fight.

Lyons opened the match with a spin kick, but Hail dodged it and landed a Thez Press. Hail went to work on Lyons’ arm, trying to take away some of the taller woman’s reach. Hail went for a crossbody, but Lyons caught her and slammed her to the mat. Lyons went to work on Hail, slamming and throwing her around the ring.

She got Hail into a modified camel clutch and wrenched back, bending her in half. Hail overpowered her and hit a back body drop. She went back to stomping the arm and then hit a blockbuster for two. Lyons caight her with a German suplex though and thenlaid out Hail with a big right hand for two.

Hail tried to get Lyons in position for a kimura lock, but Lyons countered it into a suplex. Hail came back with a Hail Mary off the ropes and got the pin to win the match.

Winner: Thea Hail via Pinfall.

Video: Kendal Grey

NXT commentator Vic Joseph provided an update on Kendal Grey’s health situation after NXT Heatwave and confirmed that she had suffered vertigo. Joseph stated that NXT doctors have not medically cleared Grey and she is currently out of action for the foreseeable future.

Mason Rook vs. Kam Hendrix

Rook is mad at Hendrix for winning their last match, so they are going to have a rematch for him to also be mad about. Aside from that, I think that Rook just straight up doesn’t Hendrix and I was more surprised that this match happened right after the previous match without seven different people interrupting each other before it got started.

Rook jumped Hendrix as he was entering and beat him from pillar to post. He hit Hendrix with a senton, but missed him on a cannonball in the corner. Rook rolled to the outside where Hendrix sent him into the steel steps. Hendrix threw Rook back into the ring for two.

Hendrix hit a splash and a senton while Rook struggled to get to his feet. Hendrix went for a scoop slam, but Rook countered it, but then Rook’s back gave out? Then Hendrix resumed the clubbing and striking. Rook tried a suplex, but Hendrix landed on his feet so Rook steamrolled him off the ropes and began throwing lariats.

Rook hit a blue thunder bomb, but Hendrix kicked out at 2.5. Hendrix kicked Rook over for a cover, but Rook kicked out. Hendrix went over and exposed the turnbuckle. Rook then knocked him into it and hit a back body drop. Rook landed a Rookus slam and made the pin to get his first singles victory in NXT.

Winner: Mason Rook via Pinfall.

Backstage: Tavion Heights, The Vanity Project

Interior, NXT Interview Playset. Tavion Heights was interviewed about the events of Heatwave. He said he was disappointed in the loss of the tag titles, but hurt that Miles Borne would think that he was going to backstab him. The Vanity Project arrived to tell him that Heights only touched gold because of Borne. Heights threatened to take the North American title from Jackson Drake and Drake said he’d talk to Robert Stone about it.

Tristan Angels vs. Zilla Fatu

Angels got the first shots in, sending Fatu off the ropes. Fatu came back with a headbutt and a splash in the corner. He then hit a back drop and ran for another Splash, but Angels got his Legs up. Zilla put on the breaks and grabbed his feet, throwing him to the mat.

Angels sent Fatu throat first into the second rope and then dropkicked him into the corner for some stomps. Fatu sent Angels to the outside and then dove through the ropes, sending Angels onto the announce table. Fatu sent him back into the ring and went up top. Angels grabbed the ref and that distracted Fatu long enough for Angels to get a spin kick in and send him to the outside.

Angels went to hit Fatu’s head against the steps, but Fatu countered it and they moved back into the ring. Fatu, bleeding from the mouth, took a suplex from Angels, but kicked out of the cover. Angels went for a second, but Fatu blocked it. Angels went around and Fatu hit a backfist then some chops.

Angels tried a sunset flip, but Fatu countered it. Angels tried a blockbuster and threw Fatu to the outside, trying to win by countout. When it didn’t work, Angels pulled Fatu back into the ring for a headlock. Fatu created some separation and laid Angels out with strikes.

Angels hit Fatu’s head off the turnbuckle, but Fatu powered up off of it and hit Angel’s head off of all four corners. Fatu hit a slam and then a senton for a two count. Fatu whiffed on a cannonball in the corner and Angels hit a backstabber for two. Angels went for a superplex, but Fatu fought him off and hit a superkick and then a samoan drop.

Fatu hit the Triple Z spike and that was it. 1-2-3 Fatu wins his first NXT Singles match.

Winner: Zilla Fatu via Pinfall.

After the match, Birthright came out and collectively asked Fatu to join them. Fatu considered this, and then said “Hello! More like, Hell No!” Birthright tried to jump him, but he got away.

Parking Lot: Grayson Waller

Before we get into the “Main Event” of the night, there was a shot of Grayson Waller being handed his NXT Title Belt by a stagehand.

In-Ring: Robert Stone, Grayson Waller, Saqon Shugars, Cruz Montana, EK Prosper, Mason Rook, Tony D’Angelo, Keanu Carver

Interior, NXT Ring Playset. Robert Stone earned his check by introducing new NXT Champion Grayson Waller. Waller came to the ring to literally no ovation and earlier in the evening was wearing an amazing t-shirt with a picture of a sad Cruz Montana on it that was easily the best thing on the show all night. Now, he was in a black hoodie. (sigh). We just can’t have nice things.

Waller made fun of Robert Stone and Vic Joseph and said they were welcome for being in his presence. Waller ran through is accolades in WWE before saying that winning the NXT title was the biggest thing he has ever done. He then thanked himself for taking the “risk” of coming back to NXT to win the gold.

Waller then asked who’s going to be the one to step up and try and knock him off the pedestal. Zilla Fatu? Nah. Cruz Montana? Nah (he then opened his hoodie to reveal the Sad Montana shirt. yes!). Tony D’Angelo? Nah. Waller said he’s in the ring, so who’s going to step up? You know who did? Saquon Shugars.

Shugars said that he beat Dion Lennox last week in the cage and he can do the same thing to Waller. Waller went to make a comment about Saquon’s misunderstanding of how shirts work, but Cruz Montana interrupted him.

Montana said Shugars might not be ready (rude) but Montana is now. But then, EK Prosper needed to interject to say that Montana had his shot and now it’s Prosper’s turn to swing for the fences. Buy of course, Mason Rook needed to jump in and say that he wanted in and then of course Tony D’Angelo had to come out and tell everyone that he wants his rematch.

Stone said wee aren’t doing this now and then the Ghost of Christmas Future, Keanu Carver came out and did Stone’s job for him. He suggested that he make a six-man tag match with all of the people in the ring next week. The winning team will have a triple threat the week after that and the winner of that match will be the #1 contender.

Stone was shocked that someone would have such a good idea and said “ok!” Then they brawled.
