Jordynne Grace and Blake Monroe Set for Explosive Clash at WWE NXT Heatwave
The road to NXT Heatwave just got a lot hotter.
On the August 5 edition of WWE NXT, it became official: Jordynne Grace will face off against Blake Monroe at the upcoming Heatwave premium live event on August 24. The announcement comes after weeks of escalating tensions, shocking betrayals, and one brutal steel chair attack that left Grace sidelined and seething.
What once seemed like a promising alliance between two of NXT’s brightest stars has disintegrated into one of the brand’s most intense personal rivalries. The implosion began when Monroe unexpectedly turned on Grace at WWE Evolution, blindsiding her during a pivotal match and destroying any hope Grace had of capturing the NXT Women’s Championship that night. The betrayal sent shockwaves through the locker room and ignited a firestorm that has only grown more explosive with each passing week.
Tuesday night’s episode of NXT offered a clear sign that Grace is far from finished with Monroe. Despite still recovering from a vicious double-arm DDT onto a steel chair, an assault delivered by Monroe weeks earlier, Grace stormed the arena wearing a neck brace and chased Monroe out of the building. The interruption proved costly for Monroe, who was in the middle of a match against Kelani Jordan. The distraction led to Monroe being counted out, giving Jordan a surprise victory and further fueling the animosity between Monroe and Grace.
While Grace’s condition remains a concern heading into Heatwave, the former Impact Knockouts Champion has made it clear that she is willing to fight through the pain to get her revenge. Her appearance on NXT, despite the injury, sent a message loud and clear. Blake Monroe will not be able to run forever.
Blake Monroe, for her part, has remained defiant. The self-proclaimed Glamour of NXT has flaunted her betrayal and continued to antagonize Grace through backstage segments and social media, painting herself as the victim and mocking Grace’s setbacks. But with the match now set for Heatwave, there will be nowhere to hide when the two finally meet inside the squared circle.
Heatwave is shaping up to be a pivotal event for NXT, and the grudge match between Monroe and Grace promises to be one of the night’s most emotionally charged confrontations. With personal pride, professional momentum, and unfinished business all on the line, the WWE Universe will be watching closely to see who emerges victorious in this bitter showdown.
As the countdown to August 24 begins, one thing is certain. This is not just another match. For Jordynne Grace, it is payback. For Blake Monroe, it is a chance to silence the doubters. And for the fans, it is must-see drama at its finest.
