WWE NXT Heatwave 2026 match card, preview and predictions

WWE NXT Heatwave will cap a wild day of professional wrestling on Sunday.

Four championship matches and a submission match will be featured on the card as Heatwave takes place at the Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg, Texas.

The event marks the first singles match for newcomer Zilla Fatu, who burst onto the NXT scene earlier this month.

Fatu immediately went after NXT champion Tony D’Angelo and was thrust into a fatal four-way match with the title on the line.

It’s one of the marquee matches on the card.

COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK == It’s a rising star versus a legend.

Nattie challenged Jaida Parker to a submission match for Heatwave as their rivalry turned up a notch.

Parker will have a chance to prove to Nattie and the rest of the WWE Universe that she is who she says she is.

Nattie gets a chance to continue to show why she’s the "lowkey legend" who continuously changes the game in the sport.

Prediction: Parker pulls out all the stops. == It’s going to be a long night for Myles Borne as he deals with the Vanity Project.

First, he teams up with Tavion Heights to go up against Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes.

Borne and Heights have only held the tag titles for three weeks after winning it against Baylor and Smokes earlier this month.

Prediction: Borne and Heights hang on to win the tag titles. == It won’t be long before Borne is in another match with another Vanity Project member.
