TNA TITLE CONTRACT SIGNING​

 

[Dale]

NXT Women’s North American Champion Sol Ruca vs. Izzi Dame​

Sol Ruca will defend the NXT Women’s North American Championship against Izzi Dame.

Ruca’s friendship with Zaria has taken her to new heights as champion, but they have run into the dangerous Dame and the rest of The Culling.

Ruca and Zaria attempted to befriend the dejected Tatum Paxley, but she decided to side with Dame. That pairing proved fruitful for The Culling as Paxley helped Dame pin the champion in a tag team match.

Can Ruca fend off the dangerous group, or will Dame bring gold back to The Culling?

TNA World Championship Contract Signing​

A huge TNA World Championship contract signing will take place live at the Great American Bash.

Trick Williams is scheduled to defend the TNA World Title at Slammiversary against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana in a Triple Threat Match.

Since dethroning Hendry at Battleground and coining "Trick-NA," Williams has irked the TNA stars, and Hendry and Santana are determined to do whatever it takes to get the title back.

Jordynne Grace & Blake Monroe vs. Fatal Influence​

Jordynne Grace and Blake Monroe will join forces against Fatal Influence just one day before The Juggernaut challenges Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women's Championship.

Challengers have lined up for Jayne's NXT Women's Title but Monroe's arrival caused a paradigm shift, forcing Fatal Influence to act and to put The Glamour through a table.

Grace won the Evolution Eliminator Tournament to become the No. 1 Contender, and received a major assist from Monroe on the July 1 episode of WWE NXT.

Can Grace and Monroe do what it takes to quell Fatal Influence just hours before Evolution?

NXT Champion Oba Femi vs. Yoshiki Inamura​

Oba Femi will defend the NXT Championship against Yoshiki Inamura in what is sure to be a hard-hitting affair.

The dominant Femi has run roughshod over NXT since he debuted, and his NXT Title win in January solidified him as the preeminent force on Tuesday nights.

Inamura, meanwhile, is in NXT on an excursion from Pro Wrestling Noah in Japan, and is looking to become the first-ever non-WWE Superstar to win the storied NXT Championship.

Will The Ruler continue his run as a dominant champion or will Inamura shock the world?

Je’Von Evans vs. Jasper Troy​

Je’Von Evans and Jasper Troy will take their rivalry to the Great American Bash in a highly anticipated singles match.

The winner of LFG Season One, Troy has already made an impact in NXT by nearly dethroning NXT Champion Oba Femi and destroying anyone in his path.

The Young OG has taken umbrage with the carnage, and now he’s determined to quell the threat once and for all.

NXT North American Champion Ethan Page vs. Ricky Saints - Falls Count Anywhere​

Ricky Saints challenges Ethan Page for the NXT North American Championship in a Falls Count Anywhere Match.

The longtime rivals have battled for months with Page dethroning Saints for the title on the May 27 episode of WWE NXT, and he followed that up with injuring Saints and putting him on the shelf for weeks.

Now back to 100%, Saints defeated The Vanity Project in a Gauntlet Match after the trio were acting on All Ego’s behalf before challenging Page to a Falls Count Anywhere Match.

Can Saints regain the North American Championship or will the era of All Ego continue?

[Skyefire]

I feel like either the tag title match from this past week's show or the D'Angelo family triple threat match scheduled for next week could have been on this show.

 

[Dale]

BREAKING The Women’s Tag Team Match between Fatal Influence and @JordynneGrace & @BlakeMonroeWWE will be the MAIN EVENT of #WWEGAB !​

This smells like some kind of surprise return because that's not the match I thought would main ​

This smells like some kind of surprise return because that's not the match I thought would main ​

If it’s Mandy Rose, I’d die…

 

[Dale]

You'd deserve to for putting that out there

 

[Switchblake]

You'd deserve to for putting that out there

With Evolution being tomorrow and her former protege being champion it immediately popped into my head when you said that

 

[Switchblake]

I also finally started to like her during her NXT run.

Unapologetically so.

 

[R-Troop]

So the main event of Great American Bash is the Womens tag Non-title match...

Either a super-surprise return/debut, or Blake Monroe is turning heel.

 

[Dale]

Or not

 

[Dale]

At least Smark wasn't right

 

[Switchblake]

 

[Deadd2009]

In terms of wrestling this show felt meh to me. THe best match being the North American title.

 

[Y2Jayne]

So Blake Monroe is using the same finisher as Cora, interesting.
I don't remember what she used in AEW tbh.
