Duke Hudson & Ridge Holland Admitted to Cheating to Get Chase U Their NXT Tag Titles Match at NXT Heatwave 2024

Tuesday’s NXT show featured Chase U’s Duke Hudson and Ridge Holland admitting that they cheated in order for Chase U to win a shot at the NXT Tag titles at NXT Heatwave 2024.

During the show, Andre Chase was with his Chase U students in the classroom teaching them about the wrestling history in Toronto. Chase stated that they will win the NXT Tag titles on Sunday at NXT Heatwave. Chase then asked a distracted Hudson if he wants to share with the class.

Hudson responded stating that they did not win clean to earn the shot at the NXT Tag titles. Hudson stated that Holland helped by cheating and he didn’t want the help. Hudson then apologized and showed Chase and the rest of the class a photo of Holland cheating to help Hudson win the #1 Contender’s match. Chase asked Holland if he cheated, which Holland responded that he did and apologized for it. Thea Hail responded in a disappointing tone asking how Ridgey could do that and Riley Osborne stating that he knew it. Ridge stated that he was excited to be part of the group and wanted to be part of a family. Holland then stated that is why he pushed Chase out of harms way last week during his match. Chase responded stating that Holland can not go with them to Heatwave as punishment.

The truth has come out…

New Women’s Tag Match Announced for Pre-show for NXT Heatwave 2024

Tuesday’s NXT show also featured one new match announced for the card of NXT Heatwave 2024 event, which takes place on July 7th at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This new match announced was a Women’s Tag Team match of Karmen Petrovic & Arianna Grace vs. Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx. It was also announced that this match will be taking place on NXT Heatwave 2024’s pre-show.

This match was setup following a backstage segment involving NXT GM Ava, Petrovic, and Grace. During the show, Petrovic stormed into Ava’s office upset over Jayne costing her match against Nyx earlier. Petrovic stated that it doesn’t matter if she has to take on both of them at the same time since she wants to take care of them for what they did earlier. Ava responded stating that Petrovic will get her match and on the pre-show for NXT Heatwave but she would not need to go at it alone. This led to a happy Petrovic asking if Natalya came back, which led to Grace walking in instead and revealing that she was her partner.

Looks like @karmen_wwe has a partner for #NXTHeatwave, it's just not who she expected 😬@AriannaGraceWWE #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/EcYd9dyu9E
