WWE NXT Highlights and Lowlights from August 4, 2026

The August 4, 2026 episode of WWE NXT showcased a mix of title matches and rivalries as the brand heads towards Heatwave. The show highlighted the Women's Division with multiple matches, while the men's title scene drew criticism for its lack of excitement.

The episode included a main event where Kendal Grey defended her NXT Women's Championship against Lola Vice in a dramatic Underground match. Grey's victory came after a brutal encounter that involved blood and a strong comeback, reinforcing the appeal of the women's matches.

However, the men's championship storyline, featuring Tony D'Angelo, Cruz Montana, and Grayson Waller, was deemed lackluster. The promo segment failed to engage the audience, leading to concerns about the upcoming triple threat match at Heatwave. The show also saw mixed reactions to predictable title defenses, particularly regarding Wren Sinclair's retention of her Women's Speed Championship.
