This week’s episode of WWE NXT takes place at the 713 Music Hall in Houston, Texas. This show continues the road to the Heatwave special.
At time of writing, only three matches have been confirmed for this card. It can be expected that, following the TNA Slammiversary event, there will be more on deck for the card. Here is all you need to know ahead of the July 22 NXT.
Oba Femi is officially the 10th longest reigning NXT Champion. He has quite a volatile challenge this Tuesday, as he defends the gold against Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura in a triple-threat match.
Briggs and Inamura have clashed over how a title opportunity should be approached, and this could make for quite an intriguing dynamic. With triple-threat matches being where he shines most, will Femi prove his dominance once more? Or could Briggs or Inamura cash in on the chaos and walk away with the win?

Blake Monroe is set to make her NXT TV in-ring debut this week. Her opponent will be No Quarter Catch Crew’s Wren Sinclair. Charlie Dempsey and Tavion Heights will come together to support Sinclair.
Although she is excited for this match, Monroe will need to keep her head on a swivel. Jordynne Grace is still on the hunt for her, following her betrayal at WWE Evolution 2025. Regardless, this could be a match that kicks off one or more feuds heading into Heatwave.
