Since 2020 the name has been used for a yearly NXT event, and the 2026 edition was the seventh NXT-branded version.[3](https://www.thesmackdownhotel.com/events-results/ppv-history?show=the-great-american-bash) The full event was also uploaded to CW Sports' YouTube channel the next day.[4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vEaOaoTMlA) ## Results The card consisted of seven matches.[4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vEaOaoTMlA) **NXT Championship.** Tony D'Angelo retained the title against Naraku, overcoming the effects of a fireball attack from the previous week's NXT that left him with a bandage over his right eye. Naraku targeted the injured eye and nearly won after a sit-out spinebuster, but D'Angelo retained with Dead to Rights.[2](https://www.wwe.com/shows/nxtple/nxt-great-american-bash-2026/results) **NXT Women's North American Championship.** [Zaria](https://www.edgepedia.org/zaria-wrestler) retained against Tatum Paxley in a punishing match. Paxley survived a first F-5 and hit two Cemetery Drives, but her apparent enjoyment of the pain led Zaria to strike harder and finish her with a second, match-ending F-5.[2](https://www.wwe.com/shows/nxtple/nxt-great-american-bash-2026/results) **Singles matches.** Shiloh Hill defeated Tristan Angels, backing up his "Mr. NXT" claim with an Avalanche Whisper of the Beast after a bout that included Hill hiding under the ring and attacking Angels while apparently in two places at once.[2](https://www.wwe.com/shows/nxtple/nxt-great-american-bash-2026/results) [Saquon Shugars](https://www.edgepedia.org/saquon-shugars), ejected from the DarkState group weeks earlier, beat his former teammate [Dion Lennox](https://www.edgepedia.org/dion-lennox) with a backwards Frog Splash, then suffered a post-match beatdown from DarkState members Osiris Griffin and Cutler James.[2](https://www.wwe.com/shows/nxtple/nxt-great-american-bash-2026/results) **WWE Women's Speed Championship.** Wren Sinclair retained against BirthRight's Arianna Grace in a five-minute time limit match, countering the group's numbers advantage and locking in the Final Wrench for a submission win with 12 seconds remaining.[2](https://www.wwe.com/shows/nxtple/nxt-great-american-bash-2026/results) **NXT North American Championship.** Myles Borne retained against his friend and former teammate Tavion Heights, countering a final suplex attempt into Borne Again.[2](https://www.wwe.com/shows/nxtple/nxt-great-american-bash-2026/results) **NXT Women's Championship (main event).** Kendal Grey defeated Lola Vice to win the title. [Kelani Jordan](https://www.edgepedia.org/kelani-jordan) attempted to interfere, but Grey's teammate [Wren Sinclair](https://www.edgepedia.org/wren-sinclair) stopped her. Grey, a former college wrestler facing the former MMA fighter Vice, entered what she calls the "Grey Zone" and won with her Shades of Grey finisher after ducking a Spinning Backfist.[2](https://www.wwe.com/shows/nxtple/nxt-great-american-bash-2026/results) ## Aftermath The show set up follow-up angles on NXT television: Tatum Paxley and Kelani Jordan got into a confrontation during the event, [Keanu Carver](https://www.edgepedia.org/keanu-carver) crashed Hank and Tank's watch-party appearance outside the venue, and The Vanity Project received a new challenger for the NXT Tag Team Titles.[4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vEaOaoTMlA) Grey's victory began what WWE's report called "the Kendal Grey era of NXT."[2](https://www.wwe.com/shows/nxtple/nxt-great-american-bash-2026/results) ## References 1.
