The July 7 edition of WWE NXT was a pivotal moment in the show's history, marking a shift in the NXT landscape as the build-up to Heatwave on August 30th commences. The main event saw Kendal Grey retain her NXT Women's Championship against Nattie, a formidable force from the main roster. This victory not only showcased Grey's prowess but also set the stage for her to become the new female face of NXT. The show also featured a number one contender's match for the NXT Tag Team Championship, which was won by Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux, setting them up for a title challenge next week. Additionally, Layla Diggs emerged victorious in a fatal 4-way match to become the number one contender to the NXT Women's North American Championship, while Keanu Carver secured a victory over Tank Ledger, re-establishing his dominance in the division. The episode also saw Tavion Heights attempt to apologize to Myles Borne, and Shiloh Hill defeat Niko Vance, with Shawn Spears laying out Vance post-match. Overall, the show was adequate, with key developments in the women's division carrying NXT through Heatwave, despite some storylines that have no business being extended.
