The August 26 episode of WWE NXT, which emanated from the WWE Performance Centre in Orlando, Florida, served as the fallout show from Heatwave 2025. The show featured the aftermath of the event and kicked off the build towards the upcoming NXT No Mercy.

In the first match of the show, Kelani Jordan defeated Blake Monroe, who tried to run away as Jordynne Grace arrived, but was chased back to the ring, where Jordan delivered the split-legged moonsault to pick up the win.

Lexis King defeated Myles Borne in the Blindfold match by using some underhanded tactics, while the Culling (Izzi Dame & Tatum Paxley) defeated the team of Kendal Gray and Wren Sinclair in a tag team match.

Furthermore, Ricky Saints defeated Josh Briggs with a tornado DDT and became the #1 contender to the NXT Championship. After the match, Darkstate (Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, Cutler James & Saquon Shugars) tried to attack Saints and NXT Champion Oba Femi, but were sent packing by former NXT Tag Champs, Hank & Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger).

Additionally, Tyra Mae Steele defeated Alba Fyre, Chelsea Green attacked Tyra after the match and Travion Heights confronted her but was blindsided by Ethan Page. In the main event of the show, the team of Lola Vice, Sol Ruca, and Zaria defeated Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne, & Jazmyn Nyx).
