Ava dares Ivy Nile to step up.
Schism (Joe Gacy, Ava, Jagger Reid, and Rip Fowler) has been feuding with Diamond Mine (Julius Creed, Brutus Creed, and Ivy Nile) for a number of weeks. Reid and Fowler beat the Creeds in a Loser Leaves NXT match on the July 4 episode of WWE NXT. However, Schism remains convinced that the Creed Brothers have remained in NXT as masked members of their group. The Creed Brothers subsequently denied these allegations and claimed that they were on vacation.
On the August 15 episode of WWE NXT, the two masked followers cost Reid and Fowler their match with NXT Tag Team Champions Tony D'Angelo and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo. Nile also came to the ring during the bout and distracted Schism.
In an NXT Digital Exclusive, Ava challenged Nile to face her on NXT Heatwave.
"Ivy, your role is essential in the games that the Creeds play, but it is getting so old. So for once, why don’t you step out of the shadows? Why don’t you do something for yourself? Why don’t you stop being a third wheel? How about next week at Heatwave, it’s you and me, and Ivy, after I am done with you, Julius and Brutus will have no choice but to reveal themselves and beg for forgiveness in a desperate attempt to save you," Ava said.
As of this writing, WWE has not confirmed a match between Ava and Ivy Nile for NXT Heatwave.
