Tag team matched added to WWE NXT Heatwave kickoff

A tag team match has been announced for NXT Heatwave’s kickoff.

Arianna Grace and Karmen Petrovic will team up on Sunday to take on Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx. This follows an angle that took place on NXT.

Tuesday’s show saw Petrovic trying to cheer up Grace after she lost to Sol Ruca last week. Jayne and Nyx walked in and started taunting both women. Petrovic challenged Nyx to a match later in the night. Nyx won the match after Jayne caused a distraction.

Backstage, Ava told Petrovic about the match at Heatwave. Grace entered Ava’s office and revealed herself as Petrovic’s partner, which Petrovic didn’t seem thrilled about.

Here’s the updated lineup for NXT Heatwave this Sunday:

  • NXT Championship: Trick Williams defends against Ethan Page, Je’Von Evans, and Shawn Spears
  • NXT Tag Team titles: Nathan Frazer & Axiom defends against Chase U (Andre Chase & Duke Hudson)
  • NXT North American Championship: Oba Femi defends against Wes Lee
  • NXT Women’s Championship: Roxanne Perez defends against Lola Vice
  • NXT Women’s North American Championship: Kelani Jordan defends against Sol Ruca
  • Kickoff: Arianna Grace & Karmen Petrovic vs. Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx
