The current NXT tag team champions Hank & Tank asked General Manager Ava for a match against DarkState for next week’s episode of the show.
This came after the faction attacked the tag champs on this week’s episode of NXT. Ava however, announced that they’ll face two members of Darkstate at Heatwave instead, with the titles being on the line.
A second match between Jordynne Grace and Blake Monroe has also been announced for the August 24 show. This comes after Monroe betrayed Grace at the Evolution PPV, costing her the NXT Women’s title match.
