The Main Event Mamas Predict: NXT Heatwave & AEW Forbidden Door

The Main Event Mamas Predict: NXT Heatwave & AEW Forbidden Door

Hello, wrestling fanatics AND the casually curious (we know you're peeking)! The Main Event Mamas are back and ready to throw some sass, shade, and sparkling hot predictions at two massive upcoming events: NXT Heatwave and AEW Forbidden Door. So grab your snacks, pour that tea, and buckle up—because we’re going all-in faster than Jon Moxley bleeding mid-entrance (you know it's true). Let's kick things off with Heatwave.

NXT Heatwave: This Roster is ON FIRE

Tanesha and Kiara faced off with their picks for NXT Heatwave, and let’s just say… the only thing they agreed on was looking fabulous while fighting over the outcomes. Here’s where the bets are being placed:

Tavion Heights & Tyra Mae Steele 🆚 Ethan Page & Chelsea Green

  • Kiara’s Pick: Ethan Page & Chelsea Green
    (Let’s face it—Chelsea stays scheming and Ethan’s there for the vibes.)
  • Tanesha’s Pick: Tavion Heights & Tyra Mae Steele
    (Tanesha says they’re scrappy underdogs, and she loves a good comeback story.)

Jordynne Grace 🆚 Blake Monroe

Unanimous Pick: Blake Monroe

(The Main Event Mamas both agree Blake is just petty enough to snatch this win. You can’t outfight a petty queen.)

NXT Tag Team Championship: Hank & Tank 🆚 Dark State

  • Kiara’s Pick: Dark State
    (Why choose sunshine when you can have the drama of delicious darkness?)
  • Tanesha’s Pick: Hank & Tank
    (Tanesha heard the crowd reactions. Just sayin’.)

NXT Women’s Championship No. 1 Contender Match: Jaida Parker 🆚 Kelani Jordan 🆚 Lola Vice

  • Kiara’s Pick: Jaida Parker
    (Kiara’s standing ten toes down for Jaida, claiming her untapped talent is about to shine through.)
  • Tanesha’s Pick: Kelani Jordan
    (Tanesha calls her the quiet killer, and she might just snatch this win.)

TNA Knockouts World Championship: Jacy Jane 🆚 Masha Slamovich 🆚 Ash by Elegance

  • Both Mamas Picked: Jacy Jane
  • ("Listen, Jacy’s ready to cheat, lie, and manipulate to keep that belt—and honestly, we kinda respect the hustle.")

NXT Championship: Oba Femi 🆚 JeVon Edwards

  • Both Picks: Oba Femi
    (There was some waffling, but Kiara eventually joined Team Oba. Tanesha knew the whole time—“Nobody’s dethroning Oba right now!”)

And that’s a wrap on NXT Heatwave predictions. Are we right, or just dramatic? The answer is both. Now let's talk Forbidden Door, which is the same day by the way. The Mamas are going to be TIRED on Monday.

AEW Forbidden Door Predictions: Opening the Gates to CHAOS (and fighting over the lock)

Over at AEW, things are looking so hot you might need to grab a glass of milk. Tanesha and Kiara mostly agreed…but admittedly, Kiara's still trying to get Tanesha on board for AEW. Here's how they see this full-on wrestling war playing out:

Over at AEW, things are looking so spicy you might need to grab a glass of milk. Tanesha and Kiara mostly agreed…but admittedly, Kiara's still trying to Tanesha on board for AEW. Here's how they see this full-on wrestling war playing out:

Adam Copeland & Christian Cage 🆚 Nick Wayne & Kip Sabian

Unanimous Pick: Copeland & Cage

(Christian's probably going to stab Adam in the back again, but after the win. Tanesha's calling that one already.)

Lights Out Steel Cage Match - Ospreay's Crew 🆚 Moxley's Crew

Kiara's Pick: Ospreay's Crew

("Kenny Omega and Darby Allin? Plus Ospreay?! I'm sorry, but Moxley's team can bleed all over this match and still take the L.”)

Tanesha's Pick: Moxley's Crew

("It's called a Lights Out match for a reason. Moxley's people basically invented this chaos.")

TNT Championship: Kyle Fletcher 🆚 Hiromu Takahashi

Kiara's Pick: Kyle Fletcher

(The kid's got the moves, AND the smirk.)

Tanesha: Takahashi

(She just made a face like she was served cheap wine. Translation: "Not impressed.”)

TBS Championship Four-Way: Mercedes Moné 🆚 Alex Windsor 🆚 Persephone 🆚 Stardom Wrestler

Both Picks: Mercedes Moné

(It's the Mercedes Moné Show. Everyone else is just trying to keep up.)

Tag Team Championship: Hurt Syndicate 🆚 Eliminator Tourney Winners

Both Picks: The Hurt Syndicate

(Lashley and Shelton? Bad boys forever. Case closed.)

AEW Unified Championship: Okada 🆚 Swerve

Both Picks: Okada

(Kiara has thoughts, you're going to have to listen to the episode for the drama)

IWGP Heavyweight Championship: Zack Sabre 🆚 Nigel McGuinness

Both Picks: Nigel McGuinness

(Because nostalgia hits hard AND Nigel's ready to slap his way to the title.)

AEW World Championship: Hangman Page 🆚 MJF

Both Picks: Hangman Page

(Technically, Kiara only picked him because of the MJF stipulation that he gets to keep his title shot on deck. She's MJF all the way.)

Final Thoughts

So, who's winning the belts, the ego wars, and the fans' hearts?  Well, wrestling world, we'll just have to wait and see. One thing's for sure: Drama, powerbombs, and no shortage of blood are guaranteed.
