TNA title match set for WWE NXT Heatwave
Two new matches are set for WWE NXT Heatwave, including a TNA Knockouts title bout.
A pair of new bouts for the Sunday, August 24 event were announced during Tuesday’s WWE NXT TV show, one of them a battle for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
Jacy Jayne will defend her title at Heatwave against Masha Slamovich and Ash by Elegance (the former Dana Brooke) in a triple threat match. Both Slamovich and Ash have challenged Jayne for the Knockouts title on recent TNA Impact programming, with each costing the other their opportunities.
Jayne also holds the NXT Women’s Championship, and her next challenger for that title will be decided at Heatwave in another new match set for the show.
As announced on NXT TV Tuesday, Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice will square off in a triple threat at Heatwave for the number one contender’s spot.
