Grayson Waller's high-risk elbow drop pays off as he captures NXT Championship at Heatwave in four-way match

Tony D’Angelo entered Heatwave with a huge challenge – defend the NXT Championship against Grayson Waller, Cruz Montana and Zilla Fatu.

It was the toughest obstacle yet of his NXT Championship reign.

He didn’t need to be pinned to lose the title.

He had hungry wrestlers trying to get to the top of the men’s division.

Fatu was making his singles debut while Montana was coming out of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) trying to make an immediate impact and Waller was clawing his way back to the top.

Later, Fatu was lying down on the announcer table after some more fighting with D’Angelo and Montana.

Waller, back in the ring, knew he had to hit one more home run to keep Fatu down.
