WWE NXT’s Great American Bash 2026 is set to emanate from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, with seven matches on the card and two championship bouts anchoring the night.
At the top of the bill, NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo puts his title on the line against Naraku — the wrestler who spent years in New Japan Pro-Wrestling under the name EVIL before making his way to WWE’s developmental brand. It’s a significant test for D’Angelo, who has built himself into one of NXT’s most prominent characters since his rise through the brand’s ranks. Naraku brings legitimate big-match credibility with him, having been a central figure in BULLET CLUB’s most notorious faction, The House of Torture, during his NJPW tenure.
On the women’s side, Lola Vice defends the NXT Women’s Championship against Kendal Grey. Vice has established herself as one of the most physically imposing champions in NXT’s recent history, bringing a striking-heavy style rooted in her combat sports background. Grey’s title shot represents a major opportunity for the young competitor, who has worked her way into contention on the brand.
The NXT Women’s North American Championship is also expected to be on the line, rounding out what shapes up to be a championship-heavy evening in Orlando.
With seven bouts scheduled, Great American Bash 2026 figures to be one of the more stacked NXT premium live events of the year, giving multiple roster members a stage to make an impression on a marquee night.
