WWE NXT Superstar Trick Williams tried out for the Philadelphia Eagles years ago, and he returned to Philly to take on their fans.

This is Wrestling Inc.'s coverage for "WWE NXT" on August 19, 2025, with a #1 Contenders Match for the NXT Championship between Je'Von Evans & Trick Williams!

The episode took place from Philadelphia last night and was the go-home show for Sunday’s Heatwave PLE. It drew a 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demo, down 11.8 percent from last week and marking the lowest rating NXT has done in that category since July 15.

Heatwave should be a decent show with the card WWE has put in place, but NXT’s weekly shows have been lacking some of the excitement that once made the brand must-see TV every week. If it can find a way to regain that, NXT could become the best brand in WWE again.

This week’s episode of WWE NXT will be the go-home show for NXT Heatwave. This week’s show takes place at The Met Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is the WWE NXT preview for August 19.

This Tuesday, NXT will emanate live from The Met in Philadelphia. It was announced today that Yoshiki Inamura and Josh Briggs’ Philly Street Fight will be kicking off the episode. The show airs on The CW in the United States and Netflix internationally.
