The new #1 contender is a spicy one.
WWE NXT Heatwave 2025 took place on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium in Lowell, Massachusetts. The card also helped determine who would face Jacy Jayne next for her NXT Womens Title.
Jacy Jayne walked into NXT Heatwave as NXT Womens Champion and TNA Knockouts Champion. Although she defended the Knockouts Title during the show, another match went down to figure out who would get a crack at her other title.
At NXT Heatwave, Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice competed in a match. The winner was named the number one contender for the NXT Womens Championship.
This match kicked off the night and fans were red-hot for it. This match saw each woman get her spotlight. Everyone in the match had their own unique motivation to get to the next level in NXTs womens division.
The match spilled out onto the floor eventually, where Kelani Jordan nailed a hurricanrana off the ring post to the floor. Her mother was at ringside as she went to the ring to take on Lola Vice, where she got a two count after a DDT. This match continued as the match carried on.
Parker almost had the match, but Kelani took her out. Then the two fought on the apron for a bit before they returned to the ring, where Kelani kicked Parker off the apron with a kick before landing a dive on both competitors to the floor.
The match continued as Lola Vice latched on a sleeper to Jordan. Then Parker joined the match, and they all ate feet from Vice before she landed hip attacks to the corner. Then she got a two count on Jordan.
Fans chanted, this is awesome, as the match continued. Everyone in the match fought hard, as they all showed just how bad they wanted it. Parker countered a split legged moonsault from Jordan. Then Vice hit a spinning slam on Lola before climbing up to hit a 450 splash, but Vice countered with a submission before Parker took her out. Then Lola got the pin on Parker to win the match.
We will have to see if this match results in a title change down the line. Anything can happen in NXT, and this opening match certainly proved that.
