The landscape of NXT hangs in the balance as two fierce warriors will do battle for the NXT Championship. Former brothers turned bitter rivals will clash as the fate of DarkState reaches a defining moment. When pageantry is ruined by jealousy, a day of reckoning will come. Two of WWE’s biggest crossover athletes will collide to stake their claim as the leader of the NXT Women’s Division. Tonight, the time-honored event kicks off the summer.

Wren Sinclair talks with Kendal Grey.

The Women’s Speed Champion says tonight is going to be such a huge night for them, because tonight IS such a huge night for them! Kendal says yes, but she is locked in. And also, Kendal saw Wren’s sit-down interview, it had her in tears. Aw, don’t do that! If Kendal cries, Wren’s gonna cry, and they can’t have that before their matches. Kendal says in all honesty, Wren rebuilt the NQCC, and it might just be the two of them, but that’s all they need in the end. And Kendal knows Wren is gonna beat Arianna Grace to retain that title. Wren says Kendal is so right!

And it doesn’t matter what happened in the past, Kendal will beat Lola and prove to the world what Wren already knows: Kendal Grey is not the future, she’s the now! They’re ready to walk out as champions for the #WrenQCC! They’re both very confident in their chances, but will WrenQCC start to take over NXT? Or could it all come crashing down around them?

Robert Stone meets with The Vanity Project.

Jackson Drake already has attitude as he says, “Oh, now you wanna talk to us, Stone. Well guess what? We don’t wanna talk to you.” Stone says of course not. But they do realize that the three of them (Drake, Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes) made last Tuesday more chaotic than it already was. Uh, does he not like money? Star power right here! Stone must be money-phobic for real. Because if not, The Vanity Project would be all over the Great American Bash. Oh, right, because they’re such big stars. The biggest ones in NXT, and longest reigning current champs at the moment. Oh, well, if they’re such big stars, then Drake is facing Mason Rook. What?!

And no, no, that’s not all! Because the tag champs are gonna be defending those titles! Against who? The guys Stone was supposed to be meeting right about now. Knock knock. Ah, there they are now! All the way from AAA, Dr. Wagner III and his brother, Galeno del Mal! Oh no… Nice to meet you guys! And Stone already told them? Yes, he did! Then the Brothers Wagner are taking those titles. Uh, sick name drop, Stone. NOT! But while Swipe Right is not impressed, will they be no match for AAA’s rising stars? Or can they swipe left on new tag team champions being crowned?

NXT checks in with the Great American Bash Tailgate!

Blake Howard has some special guests! From SiriusXM, it’s Dave LaGreca! And of course, everyone here knows the Prizefighter, Kevin Owens! To Kevin, as a former NXT Champion, seeing Tony D with that injured eye, how did he survive Naraku? Kevin says that’s how much the title means to you, right? Tony has all but lost that eye, but he retained the title, even trade. And Dave, we just saw Zaria retain her Women’s North American title going 2-0 against Tatum, just how dominant is Zaria? Very dominant for sure! They may have seen one of the best matches of the year here tonight! Blake agrees, and we still have three more title matches alone!

This is truly a big night at the Bash, what else are they expecting? Dave says Kevin brought it up, two matches so far and no title changes, maybe we see one later on. Kevin says he has a shirt that said, “Kevin Owens was Right,” and he is looking forward to being right again. But he knows the next match is Shiloh Hill VS Tristan Angels. Kevin is a big fan of Tristan’s, worked with him in LFG. The fans boo but Kevin says hey, Tristan IS good, okay? Trust him! But then there’s Saquon Shugars saying DarkState can’t even wipe themselves without his help, which is strange to say, but we’ll see how that translates to tonight. Blake cues it up, just as Kevin said, Shiloh VS Tristan is next!

Shiloh Hill VS Tristan Angels!

While not for a championship, this match is about a title of sorts. Shiloh won the right to be Mr. NXT, but that did not sit well with Mr. England. Tristan tried to take Shiloh out of action just so he can be Mr. NXT by default, but he cleared failed to do that. Will Shiloh show Tristan why he should’ve lost with dignity and grace? Or can Tristan survive #ToothlessAggression?

The bell rings and the fans rally for Shiloh. The ref tells Tristan he has to put the sashes aside, and Tristan takes his time with it. Tristan then tries a sucker punch but Shiloh dodges! Shiloh waistlocks, trips Tristan, then steps all over him. Shiloh RUNS Tristan over, then runs, but Tristan drops down, hurdles over, and sets up, only for Shiloh to CHOP him on the back!

Tristan goes looking, but Shiloh trips him! Another trap like on Tuesday! The fans cheer as Tristan is dragged into the darkness!

Then the lights go out!? But then, on the tron, a video feed of what’s under the ring! Tristan isn’t sure where to go, but there’s some kind of alarm clock going off! He follows the sound to find a smartphone. Tristan picks it up, and a voice says, “The fog is coming. The fog is coming. The fog is coming! Goodbye.” What? Tristan isn’t sure what any of that means, but someone in a mask grabs Tristan for a SLEEPER!! Who is that?! That isn’t Shiloh, is it?! Tristan fights this person, throws hands, and even the phone, then he scrambles out from under the ring! The fans cheer as there’s Shiloh with a SLEEPER! Did he teleport?!

The fans fire up as Shiloh puts Tristan in the ring, CLUBS him and CHOPS him! Then GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! The fans fire up again as Shiloh goes up, up, and FLYING LARIATS!

Tristan brought out Shiloh’s wild side, and perhaps he’ll regret it now. Shiloh is truly Mr. NXT, and Emily Agard is here to congratulate Shiloh on his first singles PLE victory. How did it feel beating Tristan Angels tonight? Shiloh says he honestly feels very relieved. Tristan represents everything Shiloh doesn’t wanna be or ever become. Shiloh may not be pretty, he may not be polished, he may not be perfect, but fortunately for Shiloh, that ain’t a factor in winning. Tonight is a perfect example of why no one sleeps on Shiloh Hill! The fans cheer that! Will this win be the wake up call the rest of the roster needs to know what to expect with Shiloh Hill?

Natalya meets with Nikkita Lyons, Karmen Petrovic & Layla Diggs.

The NEW Evolve Women’s Champion, #BigKatKita, congratulates The BOAT on all her new world records. And Jaida Parker tapping out to the Sharpshooter only pushed the record further. Nattie says she knows, and Karmen says Nattie should’ve seen Jaida. Jaida’s a shell of her former self. It’s really sad. Nattie says the most submission wins by any superstar, man or woman, in WWE history is so great, but who is counting? Anyone who is anyone in this business has tapped out to the Sharpshooter, and if you wanna make it to the top here, you’ve got to listen to the Lowkey Legend. Just look at Lyons! NEW Evolve Women’s Champion! Amazing!

And then Karmen, you’re kicking ass in AAA and looking beautiful while doing it. And then Layla, officially earning her invite to the Dungeon. She is a rockstar! Nattie doesn’t want soft women in this business, and to be honest, Jaida’s gotten really, really soft. Layla says she’s sorry, but she hasn’t been here that long, that locker room looks really hard to survive. Maybe they can give Jaida a tiny break? Nattie laughs that off and says Jaida should just grow a pair. Karmen says don’t worry, Karmen can handle Jaida this Tuesday. Yes, and they will be with Karmen in her corner. The Lowkey Legend’s new team is looking to take over, but will Miss Parker have something to say about that?

EK Prosper meets with Robert Stone.

The Disrespectfully Athletic knows tonight is Great American Bash, he knows it is a big night, but he can’t let Keanu Carver keep moving like that! Keanu lost, he couldn’t handle it, he attacked from behind and put EK through a table! EK won’t hold Stone up, he just wants a rematch. Stone knows EK is upset, but he will have to wait. What? This ain’t no doctor’s office, EK ain’t gotta wait! He doesn’t care how big and bad Keanu is, he wants a rematch! Stone says EK will have to wait, because even with what happened, EK still won the match. That means EK has won himself a title opportunity. EK says Stone lying, but Stone says he is not.

Stone says EK can get a match with Vikingo for the AAA Latin American Championship. Wait, as in El Hijo Del Viking? Yes, that Vikingo! EK says way to go! EK heads out, all fired up, but will he be able to take that title off of one of the greatest luchadores today? Or will Vikingo show EK what it truly is to be athletic?

Saquon Shugars VS Dion Lennox!

They used to say, “When DarkState strikes, ain’t nobody safe!” But who knew that not even the members of DarkState themselves were safe from each other. The egos and the frustrations got in the way, but it was The Sugar Man who got sent packing. But will Saquon prove he wasn’t the weak link but the glue of the crew? Or will Saquon fail to cut off the head of the snake?

The bell rings and Dion says Saquon asked for this. Dion DECKS Saquon, but Sauqon gets up, dodges, and fires off on Dion! Saquon CLUBS Dion, but Dion ROCKS him in return!

Backstage interview with Tatum Paxley.

Emily Agurd is with Tatum after her loss to Zaria, and asks how she- Tatum stops Emily there to say when she won that title, that was the first time she did something for herself, not for friends, for belonging or to cure her loneliness. That was for her and the NXT Universe. But now, without it, Tatum feels empty, sad, disappointed, and scared. Kelani Jordan walks in and says Tatum has to be kidding. What is she crying about? She had so many opportunities, and she choked. Get over it! Lani outlasted five other women to become the first-ever Women’s North American Champion, has been here for three years, is better than all y’all, and still has not gotten a shot at THE NXT Women’s Championship.

Lani is constantly overlooked for people… like Tatum. Lani isn’t crying over it! Yet Tatum gets chance after chance and she fumbles them all! She always finds a way to play the victim. It’s pathetic. Tatum just ROCKS Lani! The hands fly, security separates the two, and Lani says Tatum is gonna pay for that! But will Lani learn not to stick her foot in her mouth for once? Or will Tatum just break her foot off on Lani?

NXT North American Championship: Myles Borne VS Tavion Heights!

Speaking of the hunger for titles, one man satisfied his appetite when he dethroned Ethan Page, but the other has been scratching and clawing to get his first taste.

Winner: Myles Borne, by pinfall (still NXT North American Champion)

So close and yet so far for Heights, Myles was able to snatch the win in the blink of an eye! Tavion shows respect to his brother in arms, and moves on. What must Tavion do in order to reach those same heights Myles has reached? Emily Agard is back to congratulate Myles, and asks how he is feeling. Myles feels a little uncomfortable. He fought his hardest out there, and Tavion pushed him. They push each other to become the best versions of themselves. Tavion just pushed Myles to become a better champion. Myles knows Tavion’s gonna get a title one day, its’ just not tonight. This North American title is the most important thing Myles has.

Myles has had this title for four months now. So it doesn’t matter if you’re friend or foe, Myles is gonna hold the title for a long, long time! The fans like the sound of that! But will anyone be able to go the distance with Myles?

We check back in with the Tailgate!

Blake, Dave, and Kevin have been enjoying the night, and we’re right up against the main event, the NXT Women’s Championship! Lola Vice VS Kendal Grey, is Dave thinking #AndNew?

My Thoughts:

The 2026 Great American Bash was indeed a great show, bordering on awesome even. I just don’t know if we needed normal backstage promos during this rather than a preshow or something. Though, I will say, good promo continuity where EK Prosper learns of his title shot, and then Keanu gets mad and “ruins” the Tailgate. I kinda hope Omos accompanies Vikingo, because I feel like there will be overbooking that costs EK, but having it be straight up Keanu would be a little too easy. Also good promo from Vanity Project with Wagner y Galeno, that’ll be a great tag match, but there might also be overbooking there where Myka makes sure her guys retain the titles.

Tony D VS Naraku got to a hot start, which was perfect given the heat (no pun intended) Naraku put on this during the go-home last week. Busting the perch is always a fun spot, and nice surprise of the barriers “breaking.” I’m a little surprised Naraku didn’t cheat harder than clawing at the bad eye, and also a little surprised Naraku lost, but maybe Tony is going to take more and more damage with every feud until he just can’t go and someone takes the title off him for it.

Great match from Zaria VS Tatum, and I loved Tatum cosplaying Yumeko from Kakegurui. But in the end, Zaria retains because Tatum might be just one more match away from going to main roster. Kelani starting beef with her might even be their way to do that, like a Loser Leaves NXT match or something. Great match from Shiloh VS Tristan, and that under-the-ring stuff was a bit odd, but also unique. Great win for Shiloh, I’m just not sure what will be next for him. Saquon VS Dion was great, too, though probably could’ve been as violent and rough as Tony VS Naraku was for the heat that was going into this. But naturally, Saquon wins, only for DarkState to go right after him, and this feud might continue on through the summer.

Myles VS Tavion was also great, and Myles retaining is fine, there are still a lot of names for him to feud with, too. I almost thought Tavion was gonna snap and turn on Myles, but maybe Tavion can still have his own hero’s journey to the top as a Face. And awesome stuff for the WrenQCC. Wren retaining against Arianna was a little surprising, especially with BirthRight there. Wren getting to hit Charlie was great stuff, too. And an awesome main event from Lola VS Kendal, with a big surprise that Kendal actually won. At the same time, something had to give, and maybe there are bigger things planned for Lola, such as the main roster.

My Score: 8.9/10
