Ava is frustrated with Ivy Nile disrupting The Schism’s business and The Rock’s daughter has challenged Nile to a match at NXT Heatwave 2023.
Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT saw Nile distract The Schism so that two mystery men disguised in Schism masks could neutralize The Dyad, leading to their loss in an NXT Tag Team Championship match against Tony D’Angelo and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo.
WWE released a digital exclusive in which Ava challenged Nile to a match next week. Ava said,
“Ivy, your role is essential in the games that the Creeds play, but it is getting so old. So for once, why don’t you step out of the shadows? Why don’t you do something for yourself? Why don’t you stop being a third wheel? How about next week at Heatwave, it’s you and me, and Ivy, after I am done with you, Julius and Brutus will have no choice but to reveal themselves and beg for forgiveness in a desperate attempt to save you.”
WWE has yet to confirm the match for next week’s show.
On the latest edition of his “Oh… You Didn’t Know?” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg stated that Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship should headline WrestleMania 40.
Rhodes failed to dethrone Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39 (Night Two), and Dogg claims a second showdown between the two Superstars should main event The Showcase Of Immortals next year.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his pick for WrestleMania 40’s main event: “I’m gonna say Cody vs. Roman 2. That’s what I’m saying. And I think … I don’t know what else you go with, unless something else really blows up quick, you know what I mean? ‘Cause this thing’s hotter than fire right now, man. And it just feels so good, it feels so right.”
On Rhodes’ success post-WrestleMania: “And people were so mad that he didn’t get it the first time, and that ‘He’s got to finish the story …’ This dude has caught on as a real babyface, and a real-life babyface, not a character. You know what I mean? He’s done something that very few have done and he continues to do it. So that’s my pick.”
