Backstage interview with Lola Vice.
Sarah Schreiber notes that we saw the fiery face to face with Roxanne Perez last week, and Lola says yeah, everyone saw it. See? She would want a 8×10 of herself, too. But tonight isn’t about emotion, but about her fight for the NXT Women’s Championship. it is the biggest fight of her life. This is for her family, but she left the tears in Florida. She will knockout Roxie and become THE first-ever Cuban American Women’s Champion. Lola thanks Sarah and heads out, but will the Latina Heat set fire to The Prodigy’s reign?
BREAKING NEWS!
Nathan Frazer has yet to arrive at Scotiabank Arena! Axiom is a bit panicked in the background, because if Frazer doesn’t show up in time for the tag title match, it’ll end up a Handicap Match! Will the Jersey Island Rocket show up and prove his tag partner is wrong about his split focus?
Ridge Holland checks in with Chase U.
Yorkshire Grit had to stay back in Orlando given the controversy he stirred up, but he wants to wish them all luck. And he’s working on something for when they come back, but that’s for Tuesday. He’ll be watching with the wife and kids, they’re all excited to see Chase U win the titles and bring them back home. He is again sorry, but he wishes them luck. They all thank him back, and Thea says bye. Thea can’t help but like Ridgy! Now Duke feels bad for squealing. Chase says there’s no need for feeling bad. They only need to worry about becoming TWO-TIME NXT Tag Team Champions! Chase U gets fired up, will this be a great moment in the university’s history?
Ava Raine joins the panel.
Megan & Sam appreciate the NXT GM taking the time tonight, given there are FIVE title matches on one card. Ava says this is a special night. WWE is coming off an amazing MITB show, and tonight on Heatwave, everyone is looking to impress. That is what they will do, and so who knows? The entire landscape could have completely changed. Sam says there is potential for that to be sure. Five uniquely paired title matches, and of course the main event, the Fatal 4 Way for the NXT Championship. it feels like there’s been a lot of chaos, this main event has evolved from that chaos. Are there any regrets on making this a Fatal 4?
No, Ava stands by that decision, and that is because every single superstar in the match deserves this opportunity. Making it a Fatal 4 gives everyone a showcase for their abilities. It will be an amazing match for the title. Megan thanks Ava for her time and wishes her luck on the big night. Ava thanks Megan & Sam, will this be the hottest night in NXT history?

These two are friendly rivals, but that just made them both fight harder! And in the end, Kelani was the one who stood tall! Kelani helps her friend to her feet, and surely these two will go another round some day. But will no one do it like Lani?
Gallus speaks.
They warn Tyson & Tyriek that they saw the social media trash talk. The younger stars have no respect. It doesn’t matter how many views or followers you have. It doesn’t matter how high you jump or far you throw, but how hard you go in the ring. And Gallus is miles ahead of them. Did the internet clout do anything for them when they got jumped backstage? No, it didn’t. So see you boys Tuesday. Will Dupont & Igwe get deleted when The Gallus Boys are on top?
Ava Raine talks with Karmen & Arianna backstage.
She congratulates Team Toronto on the win, and they make a good tag team. Arianna says thanks, and is so glad it worked out. If It was Karmen all alone, it would’ve been catastrophic. But Arianna was there to give Toronto what they needed! Karmen says they’re a team, they won together. Oh, Karmen, use your eyes. Arianna was the real MVP out there. And they can’t be teaming anymore, Karmen will just bring Arianna down. Oh, so does Arianna think she’s better than Karmen? Arianna is sure they both know that answer. Ava says she wants to know that answer, and she makes it official: Karmen VS Arianna this Tuesday!
Karmen likes that and heads out. Arianna pouts and says it is so unfair that Ava would pit tag partners against each other. The Pageant Queen’s crazy aside, who will prove themselves the better woman when NXT returns home to Orlando?

And speaking of great tag teams, The Undeniable Hard-Hitting Truths have lived by the mantra #NeverSlowDown, but maybe, just maybe, Frazer is living that life a little too much.

NXT Media catches up with Wes Lee.
The reporter asks for a moment of his time, but Wes asks for what. Wes loss! Plain and simple. Tonight was supposed to be him regaining the North American title, and he failed. Wes traveled the world, made best friends, had tag team gold and even had one of the best singles runs ever. This was to be the culmination of all that, him holding the North American Championship, and he failed. Oba Femi was the better man tonight, point blank. Wes isn’t sure what else to say. He just needs time to figure out what is next. What path will the Wes Side walk now that his plans fell apart?
NXT Women’s Championship: Roxanne Perez VS Lola Vice!
The Prodigy has proven herself over and over again, but she’s also puffed up her own ego over and over again. But will there be no stopping her now that she has achieved her ultimate form? Or will nothing stop the rise of the fiery Latina Heat as she fights not just for a dream, not just for history, but for her familia?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and these two are ready to go down in a blaze of glory!

Lola put up the fight of her life, but it was as Roxie said on Tuesday: Lola is just unlucky that she’s here at the same time as Roxie. The Prodigy is proving herself a woman of her word, will she never, ever lose this title?
Lexis King speaks.
Another Fourth of July to celebrate his heritage of American rock ‘n ‘roll! Creed, White Snake, Metallica! Real music! Not all that beep boop bop techno crap. And speaking of heritage, y’know who has a lot of it? Tony D and that Heritage Cup. Lexis will take that Cup and claim it for his own! The King VS The Don, this Tuesday on NXT!
Tony D’Angelo responds.
The Don says he was in his garden, watering the fruits and veggies, and herbs, and he gets a call from Luca Crusifino. He showed Tony the video of Lexis in a hot tub, talking about him and Eddy Thorpe. And then he brings up Tony, talking about taking away the Cup. Like it’s gonna be easy! Lexis, Tony doesn’t know who you think you are or what you’ve been watching, but Tony IS The Don of NXT. And if Lexis thinks this is a walk int he park, Tony is insulted. But sure, he’ll give Lexis the match. Because then Tony will smack that fake beard off Lexis’ face. Then Tony goes back to the garden to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
The match is made, the Heritage Cup will be on the line! But will The Don have to be careful not to underestimate The Drama King?
NXT Championship Fatal 4 Way: Trick Williams VS Je’Von Evans VS Ethan Page VS Shawn Spears!
Talk about turning up the heat! Cody Rhodes told Trick Willy that a Battle Royal would determine his challenger, and that challenger was The Young OG. But then All Ego had to bring up a technicality, then got himself a win over said #1 contender. Then, The Chair Man had to one-up his fellow Canadian by finding a way to pin Trick! Ava Raine went with the easiest solution of letting them fight it out all at once, making this one of the biggest NXT Championship matches in a long time. Will this still be the Whoop Dat Era? Are things about to get BOUNCY~? Or will a Canadian win the gold here in their homeland?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who overcomes those 25% odds!

Spears falls to CATAPULT Trick at Ethan for a NECKBREAKER! And now, the match as was intended, Trick and Je’Von stare down. They secret handshake, then Trick ducks a kick! Trick clinches but Je’Von arm-drags free of the Bookend!
Je’Von runs up, gets around, rolls Trick, TWO! Je’Von keeps moving, and he springboards fo ra LFYING SCHOOLBOY! TWO, and Je’Von DROPKICKS! Je’Von bounces around on the ropes to RANA! Then he runs up to sunset flip! High stack, TWO! Trick gets free but Je’Von says it was that close. Trick is annoyed and runs up.

Je’Von survives and Trick is annoyed. Trick shoves Je’Von to a corner, stomps him, call it some tough love to the Young OG. But then Spears DUMPS Trick out!

Then a DEADLIFT POWERSLAM for Je’Von! Cover, TWO! Ethan is annoyed with Je’Von but he goes to a corner. Ethan climbs as the fans boo, but Spears CHOPS first!

SHOUDLER TACKLE ELECTRIC CHAIR DDT SUPER COMBO!!! Double covers, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Trick and Ethan rise. Trick shoves Ethan, they fire hands! They go haymaker for haymaker, then Trick ROCKS Ethan! Spears CHAIR SHOTS Trick! And he JAMS Ethan! Je’Von dodges, springboards, into a CHAIR SHOT! Toronto is all fired up for the Chair Man as he wedges said chair into a corner.

Spears CHOPS Ethan, climbs up, but Trick is back!?
Trick gets under Spears, brings him around, but Spears RANAS Trick outta the ring! Je’Von LEAPS up to Ethan, SUPER SPANISH FLY~! And then the O G CUTTER!!! Cover, TRICK BREAKS IT!! The Young OG was moments away from becoming the youngest champion ever, and Trick could not allow it! The fans are volcanic as Trick and Je’Von rise up. Trick and Je’Von throw hands, faster and faster, and the fans fire up! Je’Von SUPERMAN PUNCHES! Trick EDDY GORDO KICKS! Je’Von HEEL KICKS, then dodges the boot! Rebound, into the SPIN KICK! Both men are down and the fans fire up again!
Trick and Je’Von stir, then roll to the apron. They’re on opposite sides of the same corner, and Je’Von has a wild look. Trick is by the desk, so Je’Von climbs, only for Spears to YANK him down! Spears sees the same target, and he goes up the corner! Spears drags Je’Von up, but Je’Von fights with body shots! Spears fires hands on Je’Von and Je’Von flops back.

Trick endures the iconic Canadian hold, but then Ethan BOOTS Spears down! And he hauls Trick up, Canadian Rack, EGO’S EDGE!! Cover, Je’Von gives Trick the ROPEBREAK! Ethan is PISSED! Ethan drags Je’Von into the ring, and he hammers away on Je’Von’s face!
The fans boo but Ethan’s going from All Ego to All Rage! Ethan says Je’Von brought this on himself! Canadian Rack, but Spears ends up saving Je’Von! Trick runs up, TRICK SHOT on Je’Von! Je’Von bumps into Spears, Ethan storms up, TRICK SHOT for Ethan! But Ethan falls on Je’Von for a cover, right as Spears drags Trick out! ETHAN WINS?!?
Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall (NEW NXT Champion)
Trick is enraged, Spears is stunned, and no one in Toronto can believe it! It was 25% odds, but this happening feels like one in a million! And now Ethan feels like he won the lottery! Is this the beginning of the All Ego Era?
My Thoughts:
This was not only an AMAZING NXT Heatwave, but probably the best show NXT’s done all year, or even in years. It feels like the “White ‘n’ Gold Era” is giving us that same match quality as “Black ‘n’ Gold” while still giving us fresh characters and story. For one, I think it’s been since Stand & Deliver that we had a preshow match. Karmen & Arianna VS Jacy & Jazmyn was a lot of fun, and it was a great win for Team Toronto. But at the same time, I should’ve figured the team wouldn’t last long and we’re getting Karmen VS Arianna already. The winner of that can definitely consider themselves moving up towards a title shot, as both have been strong characters for some time.
There were also some good promos to set up more matches for Tuesday. Gallus of course want after Tyson & Tyriek, and I still think they should have a tornado tag match or something No Disqualification style so they can all brawl it out. And Lexis going right for Tony D before having a match with Eddy Thorpe, that’s a bit of a head scratcher. But I suppose Thorpe could distract Lexis by blasting some dubstep to annoy him. Honestly, I thought Lexis VS Thorpe was going to be more of a build to the North American Championship, but I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see.
And of course, epic title matches from top to bottom tonight. As I’ve said before, keeping status quo is just fine, so long as we get there in a fun way. Oba throwing Wes around may have been done before but it is still entertaining. And as I was saying on Tuesday, Wes losing here is so he can move on to the top title scene. Kelani VS Sol was one of the best matches this weekend, and that’s just on the creativity alone. They were both bringing out innovative move after innovative move, but I predicted right that Kelani would retain. Sol can now move on to the top title if she likes, and just about anyone can step up to Kelani for her title at this point.
The tag team championship match was amazing, again giving this era of NXT that Black ‘n’ Gold vibe. They did a good job of making the dysfunction in Axiom & Frazer more about their timing than their attitudes, and them winning despite all that also adds to the Chase U story. Ridge wished them luck but he wasn’t there to tip the scales, that is why they lost. Ridge’s surprise for their return was probably meant to be a party, but now it could turn into a swerve where Ridge turns on Chase U for not appreciating his help, something petty like that. As for Axiom & Frazer, I really want Frazer to talk with Axiom about how they can be a Two Man Power Trip, adding to their tension.
Tonight was certainly Lola’s best match so far, she and Roxie did such a great job in both action and storytelling. Great detail that Lola hurt her hand, but also that she still toughed it out. Roxie hitting a total of FIVE Pop Rox bombs adds to both Lola’s toughness and Roxie’s viciousness. And for those who wanted Giulia to show up tonight, she probably confronts Roxie on Tuesday while Roxie goes on and on about how she’s better than everyone. And then what an epic Fatal 4 Way. All four men got that shine, especially Je’Von for being the youngest and newest to this. And what a brilliantly executed finish where Ethan wins only because Trick miscalculated. “The Face in the Chase” is always a thing, and All Ego is going to make for one downright obnoxious Heel champion.
Also, I didn’t put it in the report because I wasn’t even sure why it happened, but that Joe Hendry tease right at the very end… That’s some sneaky stuff, NXT. I thought he was gonna come out in person, but no, it was just that blip. We’re of course getting more NXTNA crossovers, and I almost want them to bring back Worlds Collide just for that. Great American Bash is also coming back, maybe we get Hendry VS Ethan?
My Score: 9.2/10

Winner: Jackson Drake, by pinfall (advances to the WWE Evolve Championship Fatal 4 Way)
Vanity Project celebrates with #HeartbreakDrake, though they did have a hand in the victory. Will Drake be the true Wild Card of that Fatal 4 Way Elimination match? Or will not even his friends help him survive Edris Enofe, Keanu Carver and “Super” Sean Legacy?
Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont talk backstage.
Ty & Ty are ready for their match tonight against Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel, but Tyson knows those two are the quickest and most exciting team on Evolve. Tyriek says sure, but they’re not the most explosive, that’s them! It’ll be speed VS power, and they’ll find out that it doesn’t matter how fast you’re going when you run into a brick wall. Cartwheel, Cappuccino, speed only beats power when you apply that pressure, and their pressure will knock you out! Ty & Ty are fired up now, will they bring down the house on Cappuccino & Cartwheel? Or will C & C be able to leap over that High Ryze?
It’s Gal speaks.
The Real-Life Action Figure is poolside as he says, “This is the life of It’s Gal! After my pool and gym routine, the abs are flexing, the quads are quading, the pecs, oh, they’re popping. And now, it’s time to catch some rays. But I can’t fully enjoy my fun in the sun because of this Gal wannabe, Troy Yearwood. Everyone in WWE Evolve says you have the body of an Adonis, the best physique in Evolve. Are they blind? Lemme tell you who has the best physique in Evolve. It’s Gal, it’s Gal, it’s Gal! Standing here at 5% body fat, looking like a million bucks right now.
“So Mr. All ACC hammer throw star, this is your first and final warning. You better stay outta my way, because when you’re in Mint Condition, there is no competition, dummy!” Gal may be 5% body fat but he’s 110% ego. Will he be humbled should he have a run-in with the LFG star?
Jackson Drake speaks.
Apparently the Carolina Reaper has still been in the ring this whole time…? He interrupts Robert Stone & Pete Rosenberg, and says the fans would rather here “Daddy” speak. “Week after week after week, myself, Zayda Steel, Bryce Donovan, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes prove that the Vanity Project is the hottest thing going on WWE Evolve, in more ways than one!” Fans boo, but Drake says guess what? They’re just getting started! Because Drake will bring that drip to Vanity Project when he wins the WWE Evolve Championship! But wait, here comes Edris Enofe! The fans cheer as the Epitome of Excellence speaks now.
“Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake. Hey, Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake. I just find it funny… Actually, I find it hilarious that you can stand there and call yourself the hottest thing going on Evolve, especially when you got a guy like me, the EOE, the Epitome of Excellence, standing here right now!” The fans cheer on “E O E! E O E!” and Drake mockingly applauds. Edris says next week, that is a moment he has been waiting for, for a very, very long time. The fans know that he has worked his ass off, grinding for four years, to let this slip through his fingers! So if Drake wants that title, well bad news. Drake goes home empty handed, as that title goes around the waist of Edris Enofe!
Wait, here comes “Super Sean!” Sean Legacy has his own mic to say okay, okay. A couple weeks ago, Vanity Project wanted Lexis King to make sure Legacy didn’t compete in the Fatal 4 Way. And Legacy will make no excuses, Lexis King was the better man that night. But as you can see, Legacy is still standing! The fans cheer that, and Legacy joins the others in the ring. Legacy tells Edris that he respects the journey, and Edris coming back from injury. Four YEARS of grind, but Legacy has been at it for EIGHT! Legacy has been working his way up the food chain to create his legacy. And that starts now!
Because next week, the person standing with THE WWE Evolve Championship above his head will be Legacy. Because he will show the WWE Universe why Sean Legacy will always be SUPER! Drake says yeah, yeah, well, he’s super tired of listening to them. Drake says neither of them are qualified, there is nobody in this match qualified like Drake.

Refs rush out to stop it here, but all four men will be let loose next week! Who will be the last one standing with the title?
Backstage interview with Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel.
Chuey Martinez is with the most energetic team in Evolve, and says tonight, they go up against a pair of powerhouses. How will they handle that beef? Jones says the pot is hot and extra large. But you can’t hit what you can’t catch. Jack says it is their speed against Ty & Ty’s power. But it is simple physics of momentum and leverage. They can stick ‘n’ move! They’ve got a triple shot of energy ready to hit Tyriek & Tyson in the mouth. Cappuccino & Cartwheel are gonna turn Evolve on its head! They are fired up now and head out, will they be able to blow right past the High Ryze? Or will they get blown up by that TNT?
Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont VS Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel!
Evolve returns as the teams make their entrance. The teams sort out and Cartwheel starts against Tyriek. Tyriek pokes fun at Jack’s height, then they tie up. Tyriek shoves Jack down, but Jack kips back up! The fans cheer, the two tie up again, and Tyriek shoves, but Jack cartwheels through! Jack then cartwheels to dodge and Tyriek hits buckles!

Cappuccino & Cartwheel DOUBLE LARIAT Tyson out of the ring! Then they build speed, but Wes Lee is here! He gets his guys together to talk this out. Ty & Ty refocus and go back to the ring. Tyriek distracts so Tyson can CLOBBER Cappuccino Jones! Tyson rains down fists, and he tags in Tyriek. Feed to the scoop and the SLAM! Tyriek talks smack on Jack, stomps Jones down, then stands on him! Tyrike pulls Jones’ hair, Wes likes what he sees, but the ref reprimands. The fans rally for Jones as Tyriek lets off. Jones rises to fire hands! Tyriek KNEES low, whips him to the corner, and he RAMS Jones!
Tyson tags in, he runs up, and he SPLASHES Jones! The fans boo but Tyriek tags back in. Tyriek takes off his belt, runs up, but Jones dodges! Tyriek POSTS himself and knocks Tyson down at the same time! Jones rolls Tyriek up, TWO!! ENZIGIRI! Tyriek sputters, Jones crawls, and the fans rally up! Tyriek swings, misses, hot tag to Jack! Jack dodges Tyriek, BLASTS Tyson, then cartwheels to LARIAT! And tilt-o-whirl RANA! Handspring and BACK ELBOW! Jack reels Tyriek in, KICKS Tyson and TORNADO DDTS in one go!

It went down just as they said, T&T blows up C&C! Will NXT and Evolve soon belong to the High Ryze?
Stevie Turner signs a new star to the roster!
The Prime Minister assures the new recruit that Evolve is the most exciting, fastest growing brand. She welcomes Jin Tala to the already deep women’s roster. Jin thanks Stevie for this opportunity, and is ready to shake up the women’s division. Stevie says she looks forward to it. Jin signs on the dotted line, but now Carlee Bright walks in. Carlee heard Stevie wanted to meet with her, and Stevie says yes. We all know Carlee is Kendal’s best friend, but tonight, there needs to be on one else ringside. This Fatal 4 Way has to be just about the four in the match.
Carlee says she gets it, that is absolutely fair. Stevie also helps make introductions between Carlee and Jin, and says they will be opponents on next week’s episode. Carlee and Jin shake hands, and Carlee says, “May the best woman win.” Will Jin prove she’s ready to Evolve?
Natalya is backstage!
Evolve Media catches up with the Queen of Harts, and asks what The BOAT is doing here. Natty says she’s going to be not only watching tonight’s main event title match, but she will have the honor of presenting the WWE Women’s Evolve Championship to the winner. It is a very cool moment, she is excited to be here, this is going to be a wonderful night. Natty heads out, who will she have the honor of handing the title to?
High Ryze regroups backstage.
Wes says that is what he is talking about! Tyriek says that’s what they told everyone earlier! Power beats speed, every time! Tyson says you gotta admit, though. Jones & Jack are fast. But when you train with the fastest, those boys don’t stand a chance. Wes says they’re making him blush. But his boys have been making a ruckus here on Evolve, so he had to turn up and see what all the noise was about. Jones & Cartwheel have potential. But potential doesn’t measure up here. Tyson says they haven’t heard the last of Jones & Cartwheel, but Wes says that’s fine, they can come see him about it. The High Ryze is feeling good, but will Wes put a punctuation on what we saw tonight?

Winner: Kali Armstrong, by pinfall (INAUGURAL WWE Evolve Women’s Champion)
The Difference Maker promised everyone that her name would go down in the history books, and that promise has been fulfilled! Natalya brings the belt to Kali, but Kali kinda snatches it away with some attitude. Kali wants to be an inspiration but she’s got a bit of an ego, will she simply just get hers #StraightLikeThat and leave everyone else in the dust?
My Thoughts:
A great Evolve here, even with expected outcomes. I will say they surprised me by making the final two Kali and Kylie, not Kali and Kendal, who have had their rivalry going since episode one. But perhaps Kendal will be Kali’s first challenger to really add to the feud. Kylie and Wendy also aren’t done, even with Kylie pinning Wendy to eliminate her. In fact, that’s wild that Kylie did the work of eliminating the others for Kali to win out… But at the same time, Kylie and Wendy can feud, maybe name the winner of the blowoff a contender, as well.
Very good tag match stuff with The High Ryze VS Cappuccino & Cartwheel, and I like Wes showing up to support his guys. Wes VS Cartwheel will be awesome stuff, as well as Wes VS Cappuccino, and I suppose a third man might present himself so that we get a Six Man Tag for the full High Ryze faction to be in action together. Good promo from It’s Gal, and obviously a match of Gal VS Yearwood is coming. Gal is definitely the Heel who gets humbled, so Yearwood will get a great win. And good seeing more LFG stars signing up with Evolve, Jin Tala (Leigh Laurel from LFG) will have a good match with Carlee and certainly a good win.
Very good Triple Threat from Drake, Dorado and Oasis, and I figured Drake would win to join the Fatal 4 Way. Vanity Project needs somebody in that match if they’re to start dominating Evolve like they claim. But at the same time, very fitting that Drake gets humbled a bit by the other three contenders. That Fatal 4 is a bit harder to read, but Edris sadly feels like the fourth likely. His recovery and return makes a great story, but it just seems too soon for him to grab that title. Meanwhile, Keanu is just a beast, he’d be a fitting parallel to Kali as she’s a powerhouse of a first champion. And Super Sean has a North American Championship match, it’d be fitting to make it Champion VS Champion.
My Score: 8.8/10
