Jackson Drake claims NXT North American title at WWE Heatwave

Jackson Drake secured the NXT North American Championship after defeating Myles Borne at WWE NXT Heatwave on August 30, 2026. The match concluded following interference from Myka Lockdown, who attacked the champion outside the ring while the referee was distracted. This victory marked a difficult day for Borne, who also lost the NXT Tag Team Championships to Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes earlier in the broadcast. Following the North American title loss, Borne assaulted his long-time tag team partner Tavion Heights in the ring, effectively ending their alliance. Vanity Project celebrated both championship victories on the entrance ramp as the event concluded. The show established new title holders in the division while signaling the dissolution of the partnership between Borne and Heights.
