Texas Heatwave: WWE NXT and Lucha Libre AAA Team Up for Historic Double-Header in Edinburg
Get ready, Texas. The lone star state is about to get a massive dose of sports entertainment and lucha libre history all under one roof.
WWE has officially announced that NXT Heatwave is heading to the Bert Ogden Arena in Edinburg, Texas on Sunday, August 30, 2026. But this isn't just a standard Premium Live Event. In a massive cross-promotional shakeup, WWE is partnering with Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide to host a single-admission, back-to-back double-header.
Here is everything you need to know about broadcast times, ticket sales, and who is scheduled to appear.
The Schedule & How to Watch
This is a single-ticket event, meaning one ticket gets you into the arena for both shows. If you are watching from home, the two events will split across different broadcast homes:
Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide
Bell Time: 11:00 AM CT / 12:00 PM ET
Where to Watch: Broadcast live on YouTube in the U.S., and on FOX in Mexico, Central America, and South America.
WWE NXT Heatwave
Bell Time: 2:00 PM CT / 3:00 PM ET
Where to Watch: Airing exclusively on The CW Network domestically, and streaming on Netflix internationally.
Note: NXT Heatwave will be going head-to-head with AEW's All In pay-per-view on the same day, making August 30 one of the biggest tracking days of the summer for wrestling fans.
