Jaida Parker and Nattie took their rivalry to another level on the August 25 episode of NXT, with the two agreeing to settle their issues in a submission match at Heatwave.
Nattie opened the confrontation by explaining why she came to NXT looking for Parker. She praised Parker’s look, speaking ability, and wrestling talent, but argued that she had been wasting her potential after becoming comfortable and struggling through several losses. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Nattie then took credit for helping bring out a better version of Parker. She claimed that giving Parker her attention forced her to step up, improve inside the ring, and begin believing she could eventually control the NXT women’s division.
Parker interrupted and admitted that her losses had caused her to question herself, but made it clear that Nattie was not responsible for defining who she is. Parker accused the veteran of targeting an emerging star because the veteran wanted to be part of the conversation again.
Parker also rejected Nattie’s experience and approval, saying she did not need either one. Instead, she turned Nattie’s argument around and claimed the veteran should be thanking her for giving her renewed attention.
Nattie responded that it was the version of Parker she had been waiting to see. She then raised the stakes by challenging Parker to a submission match at Heatwave in Texas rather than another standard singles match.
Parker accepted immediately and promised that Nattie would regret making the challenge. The segment ended with Parker confidently predicting that the crowd would be chanting for her when the two finally meet at Heatwave.
