The 2025 edition of NXT Heatwave will emanate from Massachusetts!

The 11th edition of WWE NXT Heatwave will take place on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium in Lowell, Massachusetts. The show will feature top stars and Champions from the developmental brand.

The show will be the first Heatwave to use the WWE logo solely, and will also be the first Heatwave event to be broadcast on Netflix. The 2025 edition is scheduled to go head-to-head with Forbidden Door, which is set to take place at The O2 Arena in London, England, on the same day.

Forbidden Door is a joint PPV event produced by AEW and NJPW. NXT Heatwave will emanate live from 7 PM ET, while Forbidden Door will emanate earlier at 1 PM ET. Let us now take a look at the detailed preview along with the match card, timings and telecast details for the show.

Following her NXT debut, Blake Monroe formed an alliance with Jordynne Grace and was even in her corner during her NXT Women’s title clash against Jacy Jayne at Evolution 2. However, Monroe betrayed Grace, attacking her with the title, which helped Jayne win and retain the title.

Since the fallout, Grace has been looking to put a beating on Monroe, and after chasing her out of the arena on the August 5 episode of WWE NXT, General Manager Ava announced a singles clash between the two at Heatwave. The two will now settle their feud at the show this Sunday.

Je’Von Evans and TNA World Champion Trick Williams locked horns on the August 19 episode of WWE NXT to determine the number one contender for the NXT title. Evans emerged victorious in the match and will face the current Champion, Oba Femi, on August 24 for the NXT Championship.

After back-to-back attacks by the DarkState (Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, Saquon Shugars & Cutler James), NXT Tag Team Champions Hank and Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger) demanded a match against any members of the faction. GM Ava confirmed that the tag champs would defend the titles against two members of DarkState at NXT Heatwave.

Furthermore, TNA Knockouts World Champion & NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne will defend the TNA Knockouts World title in a triple-threat match against Ash by Elegance and Masha Slamovich.

On the other hand, Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan and Lola Vice will clash in a triple threat match to determine the #1 contender for the NXT Women’s Championship.

A mixed tag team involving the team of Chelsea Green and NXT North American Champion Ethan Page, who will take on the team of Tyra Mae Steele and Tavion Heights, has also been announced for the show.
