Myles Borne may defend both the NXT North American Championship and Tag Team Titles at Heatwave. This potential outcome hinges on Jackson Drake defeating Shiloh Hill in next week's "WWE NXT" episode. Borne and Tavion Heights were shown celebrating their Tag title victory, confirming Borne's status as a double champion. If Drake secures his opportunity, Borne would face him for the North American title, while his initial title defense of the Tag titles would be alongside Heights. Alternatively, if Drake loses, rematch opportunities for Baylor and Smokes against Borne and Heights may be impacted.
