WWE NXT's The Great American Bash 2026 delivers seven matches — five of them championship defenses — from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, beginning at 7 p.m. ET. The card also marks a broadcast first: the inaugural NXT premium live event on the CW Network, extending the brand's linear footprint.

Five Titles, One Projected Change

The NXT Women's Championship headliner pits champion Lola Vice against Kendal Grey, the No. 1 contender who is widely regarded as the future of women's wrestling in WWE. Vice won the belt at Stand & Deliver in a finish that also included Grey and Jacy Jayne. Grey has since worked back to earn the top contender position. Prediction: Grey wins the championship.

Myles Borne defends the NXT North American Championship against Tavion Heights in the other marquee title contest. Borne took the belt from Ethan Page in February and has since defended it against both Johnny Gargano and Dion Lennox. Heights qualified for the shot by defeating Jackson Drake; he previously fell short challenging Page at No Mercy. Prediction: Borne retains.

Tony D'Angelo defends his title against Naraku in the card's most volatile match. D'Angelo told Fox News Digital he was watching for interference — moments before a fireball struck him at the contract signing. Prediction: D'Angelo retains.

Wren Sinclair puts the WWE Women's Speed Championship on the line against Arianna Grace. Sinclair won the title in March by defeating Fallon Henley. Grace arrives weeks removed from losing the TNA Knockouts World Championship to Lei Ying Lee, looking to put gold back around her waist. Prediction: Sinclair retains.

Zaria and Tatum Paxley meet in a rematch for the NXT Women's North American Championship. Zaria won the belt from Paxley just weeks ago; Paxley pressed immediately for a second chance. Prediction: Zaria retains.

Non-Title Card: Two Active Feuds

Tristan Angels meets Shiloh Hill after Hill's designation as Mr. NXT prompted a blindside assault from Angels. The feud between one of NXT's newest roster entrants and Hill reaches its first major stage on Sunday. Prediction: Angels.

Saquon Shugars faces former DarkState stablemate Dion Lennox after the faction expelled Shugars earlier this month. The two previously combined to unsettle the NXT roster; Sunday's match is the reckoning. Prediction: Shugars defeats Lennox.

CW Network Context

The Great American Bash is the first NXT premium live event to air on the CW Network — a meaningful expansion of the brand's distribution on linear television. Seven bouts anchored by a 7 p.m. ET bell make Sunday a card WWE has framed as a defining moment for NXT's broadcast identity.
