Let’s take a look at the results of the Great American Bash:
NXT Tag Team Title Match
At the beginning of the fight, Stacks was taken to the corner. But he somehow managed to tag in D’Angelo, who showed some good moves. However, Wolfgang took him down with a lariat. Tony and Stacks then tried to pin down Mark, whose other team members came to the rescue. In the end, Tonny took down Mark with a powerbomb before attacking Joe with a crowbar. Stacks then helped use the finisher to pick up the win.
Roxanne Perez vs Blair Davenport
Both were engaged in a fight at ringside when Perez hit Blair to send her into the barricades. Blair then tried to hit Perez with a trashcan, but Perez could make a comeback with some chair shots. Perez ultimately launched a splash on Blair to seal the deal.
Baron Corbin vs Gable Steveson
Steveson pulled off a dominant start as he booted away Corbin, who returned the favour with an elbow. Steveson then slammed Corbin over the announce table but Baron made a stunning comeback with a diving headbutt. In the end, Gable threw Corbin onto the barriers, but the match could not get any outcome.
NXT North American Title Match
Dominik Mysterio kept the upper hand for the majority of the time. Rhea Ripley tried to interfere but received some kicks from Wes Lee. Ali tried the 450 Splash on Lee but Rhea was there to break up the pin. Dominik took advantage of the situation and secured the win with the frog splash.
Women’s Title Match
Stratton was dominating early on but Hail fought back with a powerful suplex. The champion took a dive outside the ring before Hail delivered a powerful flying crossbody. Stratton landed a massive moonsault on her opponent, followed by an exploder suplex. As Hail was having trouble, Andre Chase announced the game was over.
NXT Championship Match
Dragunov dropped a powerbomb in response to a knee strike from Hayes. The two kicked each other in the face and collapsed to the ground before Dragunov attacked Trick with a mistimed Torpedo Moskau. Hayes then forced Ilja to get back to the ring and tried a Nothin but Net to secure the victory.
