A third title match already announced for next week and made official during this week’s episode is Ethan Page defending the NXT Championship against Oro Mensah.

Trick Williams in action against Pete Dunne is also set for night two of the Great American Bash.

Night two of the Bash will again air on SyFy due to USA Network’s Olympics coverage.

Roxanne Perez vs. Thea Hail title match announced for WWE NXT Great American Bash

The WWE NXT Women’s Championship will be on the line at the Great American Bash two-night event.

NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez announced during this week’s episode that she will defend her title against Thea Hail at Great American Bash, scheduled for July 30 and August 6 as part of a two-night TV special.

NXT will air on SyFy both of those weeks, as USA Network coverage of the Olympics will preempt NXT on the network.

Hail and Perez engaged in a war of words that turned physical on Tuesday’s show, with Hail locking Perez in a submission before she was pulled off of the Women’s Champion.

Perez has held the NXT Women’s Championship since defeating Lyra Valkyria for the title at Stand & Deliver on WrestleMania weekend this past April. Perez has held the title for a combined 206 days as recognized by WWE across her two reigns with the title, good for the eighth-most combined days as NXT Women’s Champion.

WWE announces date for NXT Great American Bash

NXT has announced the date for their next television special.

During Sunday’s Heatwave event, it was announced that the Great American Bash would take place on the August 6 edition of NXT. It will also air on a different network, SYFY, as opposed to the USA Network.

This will be the fifth year in a row that the NXT brand has held a Great American Bash event. Most have aired on television, though last year’s show was a premium live event that was streamed on Peacock.

Last year’s show in Cedar Park, Texas was headlined by Carmelo Hayes defeating Ilja Dragunov to retain the NXT Championship. Other key matches saw Tiffany Stratton defeat Thea Hail to retain the NXT Women’s Championship and Dominik Mysterio keep the North American title, defeating Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali in a three-way match.

The Great American Bash name dates back to the early 1980s, a creation of Dusty Rhodes in the NWA and later WCW. It was also used as a WWE pay-per-view name in the mid-2000s after WWE purchased WCW.
