WWE NXT 2.0 Heatwave 2022 full match card announced

NXT
North
American
Champion
Carmelo
Hayes
will
put
his
title
on
the
line
against
Giovanni
Vinci
next
Tuesday
night
at
Heatwave.

Vinci
confronted
Hayes
in
the
ring
after
the
latter’s
ally
Trick
Williams
lost
a
match
against
Wes
Lee.
He
answered
the
Open
Challenge
set
for
next
week
which
was
accepted,
right
away.

Afterward,
WWE
confirmed
the
title
match
for
next
week.
Vinci
was
originally
ready
to
hit
the
ring
and
challenge
Hayes
for
the
title
on
the
August
2
episode.
But
Nathan
Frazer
beat
him
to
get
the
title
shot
and
eventually
allowed
Hayes
to
retain.

Former
best
friends
and
tag
team
partners,
Cora
Jade
and
Roxanne
Perez
will
also
battle
it
out
on
NXT
Heatwave
in
a
Grudge
Match.

A
few
weeks
ago,
Jade
turned
heel
on
Perez,
just
a
week
after
they
won
the
NXT
Women’s
Tag
Team
Titles
together
and
then
cost
Perez
a
shot
against
NXT
Women’s
Champion
Mandy
Rose.

Then
in
the
main
event
of
yesterday’s
NXT
2.0,
Jade
lost
to
the
new
number-one
contender
for
the
NXT
Title,
Zoey
Stark.
Rose
had
recruited
Jade
to
take
out
Stark
but
Perez’s
distraction
didn’t
allow
her
to
be
successful
in
her
mission.

After
Jade’s
loss
to
Stark,
Perez
chased
Stark
to
the
back
with
a
kendo
stick,
while
Stark
took
out
Rose
with
her
finisher.

In
more
news
for
Heatwave
2022,
the
lengthy
feud
between
Santos
Escobar
and
Tony
D’Angelo
will
culminate
via
a
Street
Fight.

The
two
featured
in
a
Final
Accord
segment
that
was
basically
another
sit-down
meeting
at
an
outdoor
park.
After
verbal
jabs
at
each
other,
the
two
agreed
to
compete
in
one
more
match
at
Heatwave.

The
stakes
were
raised
as
the
stipulation
says
that
if
Tony
wins
then
Santos
will
leave
NXT,
and
will
never
be
seen
on
the
brand
again.
Escobar’s
allies
Elektra
Lopez,
Joaquin
Wilde,
and
Cruz
Del
Toro
will
be
recruited
by
Tony.

And
if
Escobar
wins
then
Lopez,
Wilde,
and
Del
Toro
will
be
free
from
The
D’Angelo
Family
to
be
back
full-time
working
for
Escobar’s
Legado
del
Fantasma
faction.

The
inaugural
NXT
2.0
Heatwave
edition
will
take
place
next
Tuesday,
August
16
from
the
WWE
Performance
Center
in
Orlando,
Florida.

updated
