You are pretending that a 'wave election' is a thing that people decide to do, instead of a label applied after the fact as a descriptive aid after the occurrence of the circumstances you describe. In other words, this is circular logic.
In practice, heavily-gerrymandered districts rarely swing parties, and when they do, they almost always swing back.
