Article Summary

  • WWE NXT begins its The Great American Bash build as Tony D’Angelo and Naraku meet face-to-face before June 28.
  • Tony D’Angelo and Naraku’s WWE NXT sit-down headlines a key night in the rushed The Great American Bash setup.
  • Jaida Parker faces Natalya on WWE NXT as Parker looks for a major win against the veteran returning to teach a lesson.
  • The WWE NXT card also features Tavion Heights vs. Jackson Drake and Women’s Speed tournament semifinal action.

WWE NXT has a little PLE event coming up, The Great American Bash, which they haven't really promoted much. All of that changes tonight as they start their rushed two-week ramp-up to giving the event a little promotion before it happens on June 28. And they're going to start with… talking! Yes, that's right, the NXT Champ Tony D'Angelo will have a little chat with Naraku, in what we're sure will be a thrilling conversation, considering Naraku has said very little, and what he has said has mostly been in Japanese. But hey, it worked for Asuka, we're sure he'll be fine.

They're also starting the Women's Speed Championship Tournament tonight to help crown a #1 contender for the current champion, Wren Sinclair, with two semifinal matches. That is, if anyone out there even still cares about the Speed titles, which were created as a gimmick to be defended on the X social media platform (and rarely do these days). We have the full rundown from WWE about tonight's episode, airing on The CW starting at 8 pm ET.
