WWE NXT The Great American Bash 2026 6/28/2026

Note - This show runs against AEW Forbidden Door 2026. AEW ran Forbidden Door against TNA Slammiversary, TNA dropped down to 4PM to avoid AEW and WWE decided to mess with AEW and run this against Forbidden Door. This show is also the first NXT PLE on The CW.

We are at the Performance Center in Orlando, FL. Vic Joseph and Booker T are on commentary.

We see various wrestlers arrive and hangout.

Thoughts: The selling wasn't the strongest here. The pace was fast though, there was a lot of action and it definitely held my interest. TP got roughed up some near the end. The sunset bomb and the finishers really should have put Zar down here though. I still liked this but this was a flawed match.

Hill runs up the steps and spears TA through the ropes inside. Hill comes off the top and TA codebreakers him there for 2. Hill hits a 2nd rope neckbreaker and pins TA.

Thoughts: It was just so-so. It didn't get enough time. The spot under the ring was dumb and should have lead to a double countout as well. The finish was a bit sudden too.

Hill is interviewed after. He says he feels relieved and says Tristan is everything he doesn't want to be. He says he isn't pretty or polished but that's not a factor in winning. He says tonight is an example of why no one sleeps on him.

We have 5 minutes for this.

They double clothesline each other to start. AG boots her out of th corner and rolls her up. AG side headlocks her. Wren shoulders her over then bangs AG's face off the mat. AG twisting fisherman neckbreakers Wren.

Wren forearms him down. AG cradles Wren for 2. Wren spinning drops AG on her chest. Wren submits her with cattle mutilation.

Thoughts: It was a short one and not much of note. The time just wasn't there and they had to rush to get in what they got. I don't really think the result really mattered either way here as neither girl is very high up on the pecking order, though Wren and Kendal's partnership is working. 

There was a Luca Crusifino ad that said you can catch him on Tuesdays on NXT at 8PM. Luca has been fired for a while now so that is very out of date.

Dion hits a hard running lariat. Dion lariats him down for 2. SS facekicks him and enzugiri's him. I think they botch a spot. SS blind splashes him off the top and wins.

Thoughts: It was just average. It got a lot of time but neither guy is really over and SS is not really suited to be a singles face like this at the moment. The finish was also definitely a bit rushed. I thought this could have used a bit more excitement.

Dark State jump SS after. OG and Cutler double pop-up twisting powerbomb him. Dion hits SS in the gut and back with his baseball bat.

Tatum Paxley is interviewed. She says when she won the title, it was the first time she did it for herself. She says she feels empty and sad without it. Kelani Jordan comes in. She says she had many opportunities and choked. KJ says she has been here for 3 years and never got a title shot at the North American Title.

Tav looks disappointed after.

Myles Borne is interviewed. He says he feels uncomfortable. He says him and Tav pushed each other to become the best version of themselves. He says Tav pushed him to become a better champ. He says Tav will get a title but it's not tonight. He says this is the most important title he had. He says he will hold this title for a long time.

NXT Women's Title - Lola Vice (c) vs Kendal Grey

They lock up and go for takedowns. KG takes her down then Lola takes her down. Lola goes for an armbar and KG gets her back. KG bck elbows her. Lola hip throws her for 2. Lola hits kicks to the gut. KG takes her down for 1.

KG kips up and is kicked in the chin. Lola hits body shots in the corners. Lola seated springboard armdrags herthen hits more armdrags. KG side headlocks her. KG side headlock takeovers her. 

Lola pulls KG out. KG euros her outside. Kelani Jordan runs down, Wren Sinclair follows her and they fight to the back. Lola spin kicks KG off the apron then seated la silla's her from the apron.  

We go to PiP break and return. Lola hits chest kicks and spin kicks KG in the body. Lola hits a leg kick combo and drops her with a spin kick to the gut. Lola corner hip attacks her then backdrops her. KG fires up and germans her. KG exploders her.

Lola spin kicks her. KG 2nd rope twisting diving flatliners her and pins her.

Thoughts: I was a little surprised to see KG win as Lola was being used on AAA recently. Kendal's stock is high though. She's definitely going to be using this reign to grow while Lola's reign was more of a reward. The match was fine. They did some amateur wrestling to start and traded a bunch of strikes here. The crowd was actually into this one which helped things out. I don't love Ken's diving flatliners though as she is basically slamming herself from the 2nd rope each time.

Wren comes in and celebrates with KG after. 

Overall thoughts: This was on TV as opposed to being a PLE, so we got a lot of ads here. I didn't exactly mind the breaks after having to cover a TNA PLE beforehand but it definitely affected the matches. It also meant they were more pressed for time than they usually would be. Tony/Naraku was fine. I liked Zaria/Tatum but there were a lot of selling issues and it was a flawed match. I didn't like Hill/Angels much. Wren/Grace didn't really need to be on here. They gave Shugars/Dion the time but neither guy is really over enough right now to pull off what they were going for and it ended up being average. Borne/Tavion was fine but the crowd wasn't too strong for it. The main was also fine and Kendal Grey racked up yet another big win as she won the NXT Women's Title. 

I'd give this a 5 out of 10. It would have been better on a platform like Peacock or Youtube where they would have had more time to work with and less breaks. There was nothing must see here. I'd say the main was the best match of the night and I'm sure it will be historically important as Kendal is going to be a top girl someday. This was average overall.

WWE NXT Stand and Deliver 2026 4/4/2026

WWE NXT Stand and Deliver 2026 4/4/2026

 

We are in St. Louis, MO.

Vic Joseph and Booker T are on commentary. 

Pre-show:

EK Prosper, Hank And Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger), Shiloh Hill & Wren Sinclair vs. BirthRight (Arianna Grace, Channing Lorenzo, Charlie Dempsey, Lexis King & Uriah Connors)

Eli Knight's name was changed this week and he is now EK Prosper. I think it was not only due to LA Knight's name but also Elio LaFleur's name. I thought they could have had some fun with LA and Eli having similar names, but WWE has been weird about people sharing names for a long time. I do not like the EK Prosper name. Nobody calls themselves EK. EJ Prosper or like Eddie Prosper would have been better names.

Grace nails Wren before it starts and all 10 fight. Hill rams UC in the corner and hits corner spears. Hank and Tank splash UC in the corner and Tank gets a 2 count on UC. Tank back body drops UC over the top. Stacks jumps up and Hank catches and throws him onto his buddies outside.

Hill tilt-a-whirl slams King. UC is thrown out and ends up doing a tope to Hank on it. EK double jump moonsaults outside. Tank twisting springboard shoulders CD. CD takes a double sandwich bodyblock. Hill backdrop lift neckbreakers CD and wins.

Thoughts: I didn't like the heels losing here. They are new and aren't getting established well. I didn't like the women hitting the boys and the boys not doing anything back either. Stacks got cut open on his head/ear somehow. EK Prosper had a good showing but what he needs are some backstage personality segments. The faces got the win as they often do on these and the match was entertaining.

Main show:

Shawn Michaels comes out. Shawn says titles and rivalries will be decided. He says they will take this place to a new level. Shawn then brings out Sexyy Red. Red comes out. They then do the suck it line and Red dances with Shawn.

We see various wrestlers walk around the city and we see them arrive.

Lola's spin kick is blocked and she spinning high kicks KG. Jacy pulls Lola out, rams her into the apron edge and PK's her from the apron.

Fatal Influence interfere and Wren Sinclair plancha's them off the top. She then pushes them out of ringside. Jacy cannonballs Lola off the apron. KG top rope moonsaults both opponents outside. Jacy hits a big forearm on KG then Lola urakens Jacy to win.

Thoughts: All 3 had a shot at this one here for different reasons. It was an okay match but the three-way format always limits some things. Jacy had a bunch of wardrobe malfunctions during this as the screen kept going black. I figured they'd save Lola's win for when she was closer to home. I think Lola being active in AAA played a factor in her winning this. I'm not sure where this leaves Jacy other than going to the main roster. She's done everything here.

We get a graphic saying Kali Armstrong is coming to NXT. She's really long overdue for that.

Tatum Paxley and Shiloh Hill are excited in the back. Shiloh says it's the best day of his life. Tatum says she was in his shoes before.

Thoughts: I liked it. It wasn't quite as good as it should have been but they had some nice spots and tried their best. The failed suplex to the outside spot looked nasty and Sol looked like she hurt herself on the sol snatcher on the ramp. The second half of this slowed down a bit and hurt this some.

Robert Stone congratulates Lola Vice in the back. He tells her the ring is hers on NXT. Sexyy Red hugs Lola. They then twerk together... for old time's sake.

Thoughts: Blake Monroe matches really only hit a certain quality level for the most part and don't quite get as good as they should. I didn't think they had a great story here and there wasn't a lot besides various moves. I thought it average. Blake really hasn't been a big hit in NXT like she should have and her losing matches like this isn't a good sign for her.  

Darkstate celebrate but Shugars isn't happy. Dion says he made a statement. Shugars said they didn't. Shugars said Dion went out there without them. Shugars says it feels like Dion is looking out for himself. Shugars says they aren't his lackeys and are starving. Shugars says they don't feel equal. Dion says he's right. Dion says he has a plan for them. He says they will go back to their roots on NXT this Tuesday.

Jasper Troy does a promo on Briggs and Carver. He says destruction is coming for both. Briggs says he's the best big man in NXT. He says when you come to NXT, you will get your ego checked by him. Carver says Briggs is out of his mind to swing at him. Carver says he will end him and Jasper.

Joe takes a spear from Ton then a chokeslam. Tony then pins Joe to win.

Thoughts: Tony finally won the big one here after years. He should have won it a long time ago and under his old gimmick. Joe's reign was a total waste of time but he has never been booked well here and it's not even shocking. The real story of this one was Saints and Page not getting along. That made for some entertaining moments. It was an okay to good main but nothing too memorable.

Overall thoughts: The show didn't feel as special by not being on Mania weekend and the smaller venue also did it no favors. I feel like Lola and Tony really got robbed as their big title wins weren't that well built up to and both happened in front of much smaller Stand and Deliver crowds than usual. WWE has been getting the rep of pushing moments over good booking lately and it felt like that here. The booking going into this was not strong and it did not feel like the biggest NXT show of the year. NXT is definitely missing something after the Trick/Oba/Je'Von graduations and they just haven't found their footing yet. I honestly think they focused too much of the women's division and not enough on the men's division. I think maybe people like Keanu Carver, Kendal Grey and Swipe Right might be able to turn it around, but that will be more of a 2027 thing.

The opener was okay and I liked the tag title match maybe more than anything else on here. Sol/Zaria was fine. I didn't enjoy Blake/Tatum or Borne/Johnny that much. The main was okay to good mostly due to the antics between Saints and Page. It's nice to see Tony finally win the big one but I wish it would have happened a different way.

I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and I thought it was just okay. There was nothing great here.

Thoughts: I thought it was a good match. The parking lot fight was pretty aggressive and they did a good job of making it seem like they hated each other. Both guys busted out new offense and really tossed each other around. This was easily one of Tony's better performances and it was better than I expected.

Rob Stone is in the ring and has us welcome Fatal Influence. Jacy says she will walk into Stand and Deliver as champ and says the fan called her a transitional champ. She says she's been through it all. She says she's seen people she knew get released and was worried it would be here. She says she was happy just to be on the Stand and Deliver pre-show at one point. She says it's different now. She says she should be the main event this year and says she will main event Mania next week.

She says she beat Sol Ruca in 6 seconds and was about to beat Zaria before Sol came in. Stone interrupts and says the goal is to find her next challenger. 

Zaria comes out. Zaria says Jacy is delusional about her saying she almost beat her. She says she doesn't have the title due to Sol and deserves another shot.

Tavion says they should team up as NQCC one more time. They agree on it.

Thoughts: King's whole gimmick was that he didn't want anything to do with his dad and now it's the opposite. That doesn't make much sense.

NXT Underground Match - Lola Vice vs Kelani Jordan

They have a bunch of wrestlers around the ring for this and Lola's dad is in the stands.

Lola flips her then urakens her. The ref says KJ is out and Lola wins.

Thoughts: It was hard to watch as the lighting was pretty dark. They made it a bit more brighter during it but it was still rough to watch. I think this would be really hard to watch in anything less than 1080p. They kept this short and sweet for the most part and it was acceptable.

RS kicks Joe in the crotch and tornado ddt's him for 2.

Joe is nearly sent into the ref and low blows RS when the ref can't see. Joe hits a standing ovation on RS and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a pretty generic main for the most part. They played it safe and didn't do any wild spots or any table bumps. The big story was Page coming out and seemingly trying to screw Saints. The match was acceptable, but this was a TV match, not a PLE main event.

Overall thoughts: I liked the opener. Dion/Tony was easily the best match here as they had an aggressive brawl inside and outside of the arena. The crowd loved Tatum/Izzi but it didn't do it for me. Kelani/Lola was too hard to watch due to lighting issues and they kept it short. The main was very generic and safe and maybe better suited for TV than a PLE. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall. It didn't look that great on paper and was just average overall.

WWE NXT Deadline 2025 12/6/2025

We are in San Antonio, Texas. Booker T and Vic Joseph are on commentary.

Thoughts: I figured Oba was winning here since the winner faces Cody and he's a much better match for him. I guess RS' title reign was just to give him something to do and up his credibility a little. I can't say it leaves a good impression of RS though as they got the title off of him quick. It was an okay match but not much more. It wasn't super exciting, it went a little longer than it needed to and had a slower pace.

RS stares down Oba after and offers a handshake. Oba shakes hands with him. 

We see a taped sitdown interview with Wren Sinclair and Kendal Grey. Grey says she's excited and says it doesn't feel right now. She says she used to watch Cena.

Izzi crabs TP then does a lion tamer. TP cradles her for 2 then is lariated. Izzi slaps her. TP hits chops and germans her. TP elbow drops her for 2. TP comes off the top and runs into a dropkick. Izzi twisting fisherman's neckbreakers her for 2.

TP superkicks her. TP crucifix bombs her. TP crossbodies her through the ropes and almost lands head first. She step up enzugiri's her off the commentary table. TP germans Izzi on the floor. They get on the commentary table. Izzi begs TP. TP hits a tequila shot on her on the table.

Shawn Spears gives TP two dolls. Shawn pulls the head off one of them and is slapped by TP. Izzi facekicks TP then sky highs her for the win.

Thoughts: I was surprised to see Izzi win. I assume they are extending the program but I don't know if that's the right call with TP's current status. The match was just okay. TP did a good job and they had a lot of drama with the heels trying to manipulate her. Izzi is still pretty generic in the ring and isn't quite becoming the taller wrestler I expected her to be. Tatum almost broke her neck on a crossbody through the ropes outside.

Spears drops the doll's head on TP after.

We see a taped sit down interview with Dion Lennox. He said he got pushed around and made fun of when he came here. He says they don't know him and he found 3 guys like him. He says Darkstate was 4 guys with the same goal. He says the fact that Cena sees him is a dominant force means they are doing something right. He says he came here to be Dion Lennox though.

Dion says he wants Darkstate to control all of NXT, not the tag division only. Dion says why not bring singles gold to the family? He says when one eats, they all eat. He says his success is their success. He says he will show everyone that his time is now. He says he carries his anger with him everyday and if you push him hard enough, you will find out. He says he's been grinding for recognition, opportunities and gold. He says he's where he has to be and one step away from being champ. He says if he gets it done, he has no one to thank but himself. Dion is asked if he wants to fight Oba for the title. Dion says he's been waiting a long time to say what he said to Oba. He says he wants Oba to win as nothing will be more satisfying than taking down the guy who started all this. He says he will find out that when he strikes, not a d@mn thing is safe.

Shiloh Hill does another video. He talks about how he started playing football. He said he saw squirrels talking and wondered how it would be if he could communicate with them. He says he chased down a squirrel and grabbed its tail. He says the squirrel bit him and a high school football coach asked if he thought about playing football. He says the squirrel disappeared after. He says he has a tooth in his head. He said he got into a fight at 9 years old. He says they started laughing at each other and he headbutted him. He says he felt his tooth and says it's still lodged in his skull. He say we are at a good point to see where this cranks out. We then see a computer program running and it says it's time for everyone to wake up and not to sleep on him. The program says he's ready for his first match on NXT this Tuesday.

Thoughts: Everyone but Leon was in the mix here so that made things interesting. It wasn't as good as the women's match which shocked me. It was still a good match but not the classic I hoped for. Evans and Leon are highlight machines but they didn't get to go too crazy until the end and Evans didn't even do his big suicide dive. Joe has really lost momentum and him losing here was another sign of that. They really pushed hard that Dion could win here.

Evans celebrates after and Oba Femi comes out. The lights go out and we see someone walking on a bridge. Tony D'Angelo then appears in the ring with a new winter leather jacket. Evans offers a handshake and Tony spinebusters Evans.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show from start to finish. Nothing was bad and the Women's ISC match was the highlight of the night. This show was all about the ISC matches and both were a lot of fun in their lone yearly appearance. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 overall and would recommend checking out the ISC matches as they were a lot of fun.

Parka comes off the top and is hit with a Leon cutter. Evans suicide dives Parka outside. Leon swanton 450's Ig and wins.

Thoughts: It was good at times and it was a disaster at times. There were a lot of sloppy moments. The face vs face dynamic hurt things here as Ig hitting faces with his toy doesn't work as well as when he does it with heels.  There were also just awkward moments where the flow was lost. I can't really put this one over as it had too many issues.

Zaria and Sol Ruca talk in the back. Sol is told she can be at ringside. Sol is down. Zar says she knows how much the title means to Sol and says she will still be champ at the end of the night.

Thoughts: It went a little too long and they did too much. They really botched the mask ripping spot. Doc should have had a big comeback off of it with him being furious and instead they ruined it from the start with Page booting him, killing all the excitement. At least Page didn't win clean here. I still liked the match overall though..

NXT Women's Title - Jacy Jayne (c) vs Tatum Paxley

TP rolls her up for 2. They trade forearms and punch each other at the same time. They go for flying kicks at the same time. The Culling and Fatal Influence both come out. Security stops them. Izzi Dame comes in the ring with the title. She seemingly tries to hit TP, but is hit by Jacy. TP then then hits a tequila shot on Jacy and wins.

Thoughts: It went a little long and the finish was a bit unusual here with Izzi seemingly trying to hit Tatum. The match was alright but would have been better if it were shorter. I don't mind Tatum winning. She's as over as she may ever be and Jacy doesn't really need it. I'm curious where things go now as Jacy doesn't need the title again.

NXT Tag Titles - Broken Rules - The Broken Hardys (Brother Nero and Broken Matt Hardy) (c) vs. DarkState (Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin)

Thoughts: It was much better than their match at Showdown. Dion maybe botched a table bump but that was only half on him. The match got a little too much time but it was good bout. The Hardy's went all out as usual and Dion had some nice highlight moments here. The booking of The Hardy's losing the title so soon is a little weird but that's what happens when you are the junior partners in a partnership. 

Evans and Leon Slater talk in the back. They say that was a war and they aren't happy Dark State won. They say that doesn't sit right. Leon says it's always a numbers game. Evans says they have unfinished business with Dark State. Leon says they should jump them. Evans says they should go after the tag titles.

Thoughts: It was one of Trick's longest matches yet. He did a bunch of stuff he doesn't normally do and unlike in some other matches, they didn't limit him much here. It was acceptable and okay but nothing too great. I'm interested to see where Trick goes from here as he has done everything in NXT and I'm not sure what's next.

Tatum is interviewed in the back with The Culling. She's thrilled and hugs the interviewer saying it's the biggest night of her life. Izzi is asked about her intentions and says not to make this about her. Tatum says if you thought NXT was crazy, it'll get crazier on Tuesday.

Overall thoughts: It went almost 3 hours, which I expected as this was competing against AEW Collision which went from 8pm-10pm. The opener had an even mix of good and bad. Page/Wagner got a lot of time. They had a chance to do something great but didn't get there. It was still good though. Zaria/Blake was a decent match. 

Tatum Paxley pulled off the upset in her match and won the title. It was an alright match but would have been better if it was shorter. We had a good Hardy's/DarkState hardcore match which was the best thing on here. Trick/Saints was alright but not great. Trick got to do more than usual and was not as limited.

I'd give a 6 out of 10 overall. It was good but everything went a bit long here and nothing was great.
