Ava gets her first singles match.
Ava (formerly Ava Raine, Simone Johnson) will compete in her first singles bout at NXT Heatwave against Ivy Nile. Ava has wrestled in four bouts during her career, all of which have been mixed tag team bouts.
Ava issued the challenge to Nile on Tuesday's NXT and the bout was made official on Thursday.
The Creed Brothers may be gone from NXT, but that doesn’t mean the red-hot rivalry between Schism and Diamond Mine is finished.
