WWE NXT HEATWAVE PREDICTIONS (as of 8/26/2026):
- NXT CHAMPIONSHIP - I was expecting a Triple Threat for the NXT Championship so D'Angelo could either retain by pinning Waller rather than Montana, or Waller could win it by stealing a pin from Montana to eventually build to Montana beating Waller. Zilla Fatu was not at all what I was seeing coming, and now that he's officially been added, this is a Fatal 4-Way. I feel like it's a guarantee D'Angelo is dropping the title at this point, considering there are too many more exciting options than keeping it on the champion. If WWE wants to milk this to be separate feuds, they can do that, especially as they keep building up Keanu Carver to get a future title shot, but nothing says Carver has to beat D'Angelo. He could very well be the guy to beat someone like Zilla or Waller, and I wouldn't count out Montana, even though I don't think he'll win.
- NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP - Part of me really wants Kelani Jordan to win, but I don't think she will. I don't know who they have lined up to succeed Grey, as I think they're going to keep it on her for quite some time. This feels more like Jordan makes sense to be a very viable contender rather than that the time is up for Grey as champion. Then again, the injury angle could have been done specifically to have her drop the title and not look weak.
- TITLE UNIFICATION - Well, Kali Armstrong did defeat Zaria, so this is officially a Triple Threat. That makes me less confident in Zaria than I was before, because Armstrong can now win both titles without Wren Sinclair having to lose directly, or Zaria can still take the belts while Armstrong gives them another person to work around. I still lean toward Zaria becoming the unified champion, but Kali is much more of a legitimate possibility now that WWE went through the trouble of adding her to the match.
- NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP - Sorry, Myles. You're losing this belt.
- NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP - But hey, the good news is that you'll retain this one first! Well, technically, it depends on what match goes on first, and he could also lose both.
- SUBMISSION MATCH - Jaida Parker beating Nattie makes the most sense to me, even though she doesn't have a submission finisher. What would be the point of Nattie coming down to NXT to put herself over and make Parker look like she's not worth investing in?
