The Great American Bash Returning As Two-Week NXT Event, Updated Match Card

UPDATE: WWE has confirmed that the event will last two weeks.

The official description states:

The Great American Bash is coming to NXT, taking place over the next two weeks on USA Network.

The proud sports-entertainment tradition is back, this time under the black-and-gold banner. Dating back to 1985, the event was rekindled in the aughts and now returns once more with NXT’s top Superstars looking to leave their mark on its storied history.

As part of the event on July 8, NXT Champion Adam Cole will take on North American Champion Keith Lee in a Winner Take All Match.

Three matchups are already set for next week as well, including NXT’s first-ever Strap Match taking place between Dexter Lumis and Roderick Strong. Additionally, Mia Yim, Tegan Nox, Candice LeRae and Dakota Kai will collide in a Fatal 4-Way Match to determine the No. 1 Contender to NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai, while Rhea Ripley will face Aliyah & Robert Stone in a Handicap Match where The Nightmare has agreed to join The Robert Stone Brand if she loses.


Next week’s episode of NXT is planned to be a big one, as the company has announced that it’ll be themed all around The Great American Bash, and will feature a ton of big matches.

With next week’s episode of NXT happening just three days before Independence Day, the company is ready to go all out in an America-themed show. Alongside the announcement of the special episode, NXT has also confirmed the following matches for next week’s show:

Strap Match

Dexter Lumis vs. Roderick Strong
