With WWE Heatwave looming this Sunday, the stakes were high on the latest edition of NXT.


Before Jacy Jayne defends the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Ash By Elegance and Masha Slamovich this Sunday at WWE Heatwave, Fatal Influence battled The Elegance Brand with Masha as the Special Guest Referee on NXT.


It didn't take long before The Personal Concierge got involved, prompting Slamovich to eject him from ringside. Ash had Jazmyn Nyx beat following Rarified Air but Slamovich was distracted by Fallon Henley pummeling M on the announce table.


The closing moments saw Jayne take out Ash with the Rolling Encore to win. After the match, Ash confronted Masha, leading to a physical altercation between the two.

Later on, DarkState said his name and Joe Hendry appeared.


In the main event, TNA World Champion Trick Williams clashed with Je'Von Evans to determine the No. 1 Contender to Oba Femi's NXT Championship at WWE Heatwave.


Williams immediately went on the attack, nearly pinning Evans with a Trick Kick in the early going. Then, Williams sent him flying through the air, crashing through the announce table at ringside.




This back and forth contest came to a close when Mike Santana appeared in the balcony high above the venue, creating a momentary distraction for Williams, allowing Evans to capitalize and score the victory.


The action continues on an all-new TNA iMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on TNA+ worldwide, Sportsnet 360 in Canada and at 9/8c on AXS TV in the US. TNA Word Champion Trick Williams will kick off the show, while TNA Knockouts World Champion and NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne will address WWE Heatwave.
