In a special edition of WWE NXT held in Philadelphia, the night was filled with great matches. The show featured an intense Street Fight between Yoshiki Inamura and Josh Briggs, as well as a main event to determine the next challenger for Oba Femi. Additionally, several matches were confirmed for the brand's next event, Heatwave, which will take place this weekend.

First, Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice will face off in a triple threat match to determine the next contender for the NXT Women's Championship. The current champion is Jacy Jayne, who will also have a tough challenge at the event when she defends the Knockouts World Championship against two dangerous opponents.
