Vice asks Perez why she needs security with her, and Perez tells her that it's to make sure that she won't attack and steal the "NXT" Women's Championship from her. Perez then tells Vice she sees through her, and says that Heatwave will be the biggest match of Vice's career. She says Vice has made more of a name for herself in WWE in a few short months than she ever did in Bellator, and says Vice isn't the same woman who cashed in her Women's Breakout Contract on her.

Vice tells Perez that she's a fighter, and says that everyone knows Perez's story and not her own. Vice recalls going into MMA to provide for her family, and says at 20, she was fighting at Madison Square Garden. She says her mother will be watching her on Sunday, and she's looking forward to calling her mother and telling her that she's the new "NXT" Women's Champion.

Perez says she didn't know any of that, and says she respects Vice's story. She says the reality is that every woman in the "NXT" locker room wants to make the same phone call that she does. She says while she's the titleholder, those phone calls are never made. She says she's building a legacy as a two time "NXT" Women's Champion, and says she won't be giving up her title.

Vice says Perez doesn't need to give her any title because she'll take it from her. She says she smiled when Perez gave her the best shot she could while Perez crumbled when she gave her the best shot she could.

– Back from the break, Trick Williams makes his way down to the ring. Je'Von Evans, Shawn Spears, and Ethan Page are already waiting inside.

Williams says a Heatwave is coming to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He says the people there will be chanting "Whoop That Trick". Page cuts him off and says Williams will bring the same energy whether it's a singles match or a Fatal Four-Way. He says Williams is the hottest thing in WWE, but he saw that swagger in him. He says he saw that same swagger at "NXT" Battleground, but says Heatwave won't be the same as Battleground. He reminds Williams he doesn't have to beat him to become the new "NXT" Champion.

Williams tells Page that the odds don't favor him, but his back is always against the wall. He says that Page is always bringing up his resume, but he has a resume of his own and he will add another win to it on Sunday. Spears tells Williams that he admires his emotion, but says that his emotion allowed him to defeat him last week and will be what allows him to win the "NXT" Championship at Heatwave.

Evans signs the contract as he gets into it with Spears on the mic. Spears then signs the contract, and tells Evans he's like any sports team that is happy to be there and can't win the finals. Evans admits to being nervous about Sunday, but says he's also excited because when he walks into Heatwave, everyone will know him. Evans asks Spears how much time he's spent as "NXT" Champion, then tells him that he'll show him what an "NXT" Champion really looks like when he walks out of Heatwave as the new titleholder.

Spears hands the contract to Williams and Page as he asks Williams how he asks about what Evans just said. Page signs the contract, and says he doesn't like Williams or Evans' odds very much. Williams says it will be every man for themself on Sunday, then tells Evans that while he likes him, he can't take the "NXT" Championship from him as is the case for Page and Spears.

Spears, Page, and Evans then begin arguing with one another. Spears then shoves Evans as Page fires off right hands on Williams. Williams lands a flapjack on Page through the table as Evans powerbombs Spears through the other one. Williams and Evans then stare one another down as the show goes off the air.
