Ava, also known as The Rock’s daughter, had her first televised singles match on the August 22nd edition of WWE NXT Heatwave. The match, which lasted approximately two minutes, showcased Ava’s wrestling skills and included a standout moment where she executed a scorpion kick. Despite her impressive performance, Ava ultimately fell victim to a dragon sleeper counter, resulting in a submission victory for her opponent Ivy Nile.
One noticeable improvement in Ava’s performance was her increased confidence compared to her previous appearances in mixed tag matches. This added confidence played a significant role in the match’s finish. The storyline surrounding Ava’s journey has been ongoing and continued throughout the show. After the match, Ava invited Ivy Nile to meet her under the Schism tree, believing that the masked individuals who had previously saved her from Nile were followers of Joe Gacy. However, it was revealed that the masked men were actually The Creeds.
Brutus and Julius Creed, who had previously been defeated by The Dyad in a Loser Leaves NXT match, had been waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge. They kidnapped Ava, leading to a steel cage rematch with Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid. If the Creeds emerge victorious in this match, they will officially return to Tuesday nights.
