Kyle O'Reilly looks to settle the score with Adam Cole once and for all at NXT Great American Bash

Kyle O'Reilly andAdam Cole may have gone through hell and back, but their dispute appears to be far from over.

NXT General Manager William Regal knows it, too, prompting him to schedule a bout between O'Reilly and Cole for the NXT Great American Bash on Tuesday, July 6.

The former Undisputed ERA allies and best friends decimated each other in a barbaric Unsanctioned Match this past April at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. Though O'Reilly outlasted Cole in the war of attrition, the tension between the two is anything but gone.

Through their mutual hate. they may have even cost each other a chance to win the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: In Your House. O'Reilly caught Cole in a heel hook, but his fixation left him vulnerable to Karrion Kross' Kross Jacket, allowing Kross to retain the title in the Fatal 5-Way Match.

Unlike their previous encounter, Regal has stipulated this would be a "straight-up wrestling match."

Will the result be the same as their brutal Unsanctioned bout? Or will Cole's Last Shot also give him the last laugh?​

 

[Chris]

Whatever the result, I hope Kyle and Cole move on after this before it goes too long

 

[Chris]

Confirmed

 

[O-Blaze]

That’s gonna be a hell of a match

 

[Deezy]

Better not be on the same day as the Stanley Cup Finals

Io Shirai & Zoey Stark set to challenge The Way for NXT Women's Tag Team Titles

Despite their relative inexperience together, Io Shirai & Zoey Stark have formed a duo to be reckoned with.

Can they ride their success all the way to becoming new NXT Women's Tag Team Champions at NXT's Great American Bash?

Not if The Way has something to say about it.

Shirai & Stark pulled off somewhat of a shocker in besting the tenured — and former championship duos — of NXT Women's Champion Raquel Gonzalez & Dakota Kai and Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon in a high-octane Triple Threat Tag Team Match to earn this opportunity.

But champions Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell made a point to confront the upstart tandem and insist that the titles aren't going anywhere.

LA Knight to defend Million Dollar Title in rematch with Cameron Grimes

Cameron Grimes will have another chance to carry on the legacy of "The Million Dollar Man" at NXT TakeOver: In Your House. But this time, the penalty will be much worse if he comes up short.

Grimes will become LA Knight's butler if he's unable to dethrone Knight as Million Dollar Champion at NXT's Great American Bash.

The two rivals went all out at NXT TakeOver: In Your House, testing their limits in an awe-inspiring Ladder Match, with Knight prevailing.

But Knight later eschewed Ted DiBiase in despicable fashion, savagely assaulting the WWE Hall of Famer.

Grimes will get the chance to extract retribution for that brutal attack, as well as redemption for himself. If he fails, though, he'll have to serve as Knight's butler.

Can Grimes head to the moon with the Million Dollar Title around his waist? Or is he bound to be at Knight's service?​

I always hated the troupe of having a gimmick match first then following it up with a “straight wrestling match”

Karrion Kross and Johnny Gargano will meet face-to-face at NXT Great American Bash
NXT Champion Karrion Kross and Johnny Gargano will meet face-to-face this Tuesday at NXT Great American Bash, live on USA Network at 8/7 C.

Gargano was enraged after Kross responded to his ambush attacks last Tuesday by trying to run him over. He called out Kross on Twitter Saturday ahead of NXT Great American Bash.



Kross replied, equating Gargano to “bugs that crawl in and out of dog crap” before accepting Gargano’s invitation, but with one caveat: It’s just him and Gargano.



Samoa Joe caught the interaction and confirmed he would be at the Great American Bash to make sure things don’t get out of hand from this meeting.



And General Manager William Regal is expecting fireworks at NXT Great American Bash when Kross and Gargano meet.

[Chris]

[Dale]

[Necro]

I hope this lives up to Cody's standards.

 

[DammitC]

NXT isn't even on yet, and this guy from this scene mentioned the Way twice

 

[Deezy]

[Kairi HoHo]

I'm here time to do this!
