Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio will team up on the August 22nd Heatwave episode of NXT.
The championship winning couple have been causing havoc on Tuesday nights, with Mysterio repeatedly retaining the North American Championship thanks to Ripley’s help.
As seen on the August 7th episode, “Dirty” Dom retained the title against Dragon Lee, with Mysterio and Ripley gloating about the victory afterwards to Dom’s father Rey Mysterio. As the berating of Rey continued, Mami was blindsided by Lyra Valkyria, who stood tall with Lee at the end of the episode.
Angered by the attack, Ripley issued the challenge for the mixed tag team match on Heatwave, which Lee and Valkyria accepted.
The line-up for NXT Heatwave is as follows:
- Carmelo Hayes vs. Wes Lee – Singles match for the NXT Championship
- Ilja Dragunov vs. Trick Williams
- Nathan Fraszer vs. Noam Dar – Singles match for the NXT Heritage Cup
- Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley vs. Dragon Lee and Lyra Valkyria
- Baron Corbin vs. Von Wagner
- Ava vs. Ivy Nile
- Tiffany Stratton to appear live
