WWE presented NXT The Great American Bash 2026 featuring several championship matches, the continued fallout from recent rivalries, and a major title change in the night’s main event.
By the end of the show, Kendal Grey reached the top of the NXT women’s division, while Tony D’Angelo, Zaria, Myles Borne, and Wren Sinclair successfully defended their championships.
Here are the full results and highlights.
NXT Championship
Tony D’Angelo (c) def. Naraku
Despite entering the match with a heavily bandaged eye following Naraku’s fireball attack earlier in the week, Tony D’Angelo refused to back down from the challenge.
The champion started aggressively, even spearing Naraku through the wall of The Perch area before the action officially settled inside the ring. Naraku targeted the injured eye throughout the contest and nearly forced the referee to stop the match due to D’Angelo’s condition.
Tony battled through the punishment and rallied late with a series of suplexes and power moves. After surviving a German suplex, D’Angelo connected with Dead to Rights to secure the victory.
Winner and Still NXT Champion: Tony D’Angelo
NXT Women’s North American Championship
Zaria (c) def. Tatum Paxley
Tatum Paxley pushed Zaria to her limits in one of the most competitive matches of the night.
The challenger came within inches of capturing the championship after delivering multiple Cemetery Drives, including one on the floor and another inside the ring. Despite the relentless attack, Zaria refused to stay down.
After surviving Tatum’s best offense, the champion regained control with a spear and eventually delivered a snap F-5 to retain the title.
Winner and Still NXT Women’s North American Champion: Zaria
Following the match, a frustrated Paxley was confronted backstage by Kelani Jordan, leading to a heated altercation that required security intervention.
Shiloh Hill def. Tristan Angels
Shiloh Hill and Tristan Angels delivered one of the more unusual matches of the evening, complete with a bizarre sequence underneath the ring involving mysterious voices and masked appearances.
Once the action returned to normal, Hill used the steel steps to his advantage before finishing Angels with Whisper of the Beast.
Winner: Shiloh Hill
After the match, Hill proudly celebrated while wearing his Mr. NXT sash.
Women’s Speed Championship
Wren Sinclair (c) def. Arianna Grace
With a strict five-minute time limit, Wren Sinclair and Arianna Grace wasted little time getting down to business.
Grace controlled portions of the match by targeting Sinclair’s previously injured knee, but the champion remained resilient. As the clock ticked down, Wren fought back and trapped Grace in the Final Wren-ch submission hold.
Grace tapped out before time expired, allowing Sinclair to retain.
Winner and Still Women’s Speed Champion: Wren Sinclair
Saquon Shugars def. Dion Lennox
Former DarkState allies collided in a heated grudge match.
The rivalry continued to intensify throughout the bout, with Cutler James and Osiris Griffin appearing at ringside despite both men seemingly dealing with injuries. Their presence created a distraction, but Shugars still found a way to overcome Lennox.
After a back-and-forth battle, Shugars scored the victory with an inverted splash.
Winner: Saquon Shugars
The celebration was short-lived, however, as James and Griffin revealed they were fully healthy before launching a post-match assault. The trio left Shugars laid out following a devastating DarkState powerbomb.
NXT North American Championship
Myles Borne (c) def. Tavion Heights
Myles Borne and Tavion Heights showcased their amateur wrestling backgrounds in a highly technical championship match.
The two competitors traded submissions, suplexes, and counters throughout the contest, with Heights nearly capturing the title after a series of impressive power moves and submission holds.
Borne ultimately found an opening late in the match, escaping a fireman’s carry and delivering Borne Again for the victory.
Winner and Still NXT North American Champion: Myles Borne
Following the match, Borne praised Heights while promising that his title reign is far from over.
NXT Women’s Championship
Kendal Grey def. Lola Vice (c)
The main event saw Lola Vice defend the NXT Women’s Championship against Kendal Grey.
The match featured strong grappling exchanges, submission counters, and momentum swings from both competitors. Grey repeatedly targeted Vice’s leg with ankle lock attempts, while the champion responded with her trademark strikes and submission offense.
Outside interference briefly came into play when Kelani Jordan attempted to get involved, only for Wren Sinclair to neutralize her and remove the distraction.
As the match entered its final moments, both women exchanged near falls and submission reversals before Grey delivered a massive middle-rope Shades of Grey to score the decisive victory.
Winner and NEW NXT Women’s Champion: Kendal Grey
After the match, Wren Sinclair joined her longtime friend in the ring to celebrate the championship victory. Lola Vice showed respect to the new champion before leaving the ringside area.
