AAA and NXT Heatwave Happening Back-To-Back on August 30th

Right as the first NXT PLE on The CW was airing, WWE already announced their second TV PLE alongside a milestone AAA TV taping

WWE announced during NXT Great American Bash (and later in a press release) that on August 30th, AAA and NXT Heatwave will emanate from the Bert Ogden Arena (capacity of max 9k attendance) in Edinburg, Texas.

The initial advertisement only revealed the local airing time being 11 AM CET (12 PM translated to EST), but the press release went into more detail, saying that NXT Heatwave will air on 3 PM EST (that being 8 PM BST) on CW in the US and Netflix internationally. There’s no mention of a Countdown to NXT Heatwave nor that the AAA portion of the event would explicitly air live. The AAA portion didn’t get a separate name either, only that AAA airs on YouTube in the US and FOX in the LATAM area, implying that this is an extra AAA TV taping for a future Saturday airing (this being the first time AAA’s weekly TV show taping episodes in the United States), but stay tuned on the upcoming events page for further details. People buying tickets would get access to both AAA and NXT Heatwave with the same ticket.
