Two new champions were crowned at NXT Heatwave.
The TNA Knockouts title changed hands on Sunday, with Ash by Elegance winning the title and bringing it back home to TNA. The finish had Jacy Jayne hit Masha Slamovich with the rolling encore, but the Elegance Brand at ringside pulled Jaye out of the ring as she went for the cover. This gave Ash the opportunity to hit Slamovich with the swanton bomb, pinning her to become champion.
Jayne had held the title for a little over a month, defeating Slamovich to become a double champion. She remains the NXT Women’s Champion and is next set to defend the title against Lola Vice at WWE NXT No Mercy next month.
Meanwhile, Darkstate were successful in their attempt to defeat Hank & Tank for the NXT Tag Team titles. It was Osiris Griffin and Dion Lennox that represented Darkstate, winning after Cutler James interfered, allowing Lennox and Griffin to hit a doomsday device on Tank for the win.
In the main event, Oba Femi successfully retained the title against Je’Von Evans. After the match, Ricky Starks came out and the two had a staredown as the show went off the air.
