The second week of WWE NXT Great American Bash is lining up to be another loaded program with several matches already set for the upcoming episode of NXT.
Previously, it was confirmed that Oro Mensah will challenge for the NXT Championship. This came after physically confronting champion Ethan Page on multiple occasions in recent weeks and earning some unapproved victories over the champion. In a formal setting in Ava’s office, both parties signed a contract, with Page aiming to move on from Mensah and Mensah seeking payback for Page’s assaults earlier in the year.
The NXT Tag Team Championship will also be at stake. The Rascalz raised the issue that MSK (comprised of Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz) never rightfully lost their titles. This topic has been a talking point on several shows, but they eventually decided to formally request a tag match. Axiom was all too willing to approve it without even reading the contract or consulting with Nathan Frazer, much to Frazer’s annoyance at Axiom’s duplicity, in echoing the same behaviors he had previously criticized Frazer for.
The NXT Women’s North American Championship is also on the line as reigning champion Kelani Jordan is set to face off against Tatum Paxley. This was set up following weeks of Paxley trying to convince Jordan to play dolls with her, propositions which Kelani continually refused. As this storyline unfolds, keep an eye out for Wendy Choo, who continues to hover in the background, poised to make an appearance in this segment next week.
After Joe Hendry’s concert was disrupted by Gallus and ended with him being taken down with a guitar, Hendry is eager to prove his resilience and strength against NXT’s best, and plans to exact revenge on the Gallus crew by facing off against Joe Coffey next week.
The current matches lined up for next week also includes a showdown between Trick Williams and Pete Dunne, which came about after Williams sought Dunne’s advice, only to be told twice to “figure it out.”
Based on what’s been announced, the match line-up for next week’s episode stands as:
– NXT Championship Match: Ethan Page (c) vs Oro Mensah
– Trick Williams vs Pete Dunne
– Joe Hendry vs Joe Coffey
– NXT Women’s North American Championship Match: Kelani Jordan (c) vs Tatum Paxley
– NXT Tag Team Championship Match: Axiom and Nathan Frazer (c) vs. MSK
