This Saturday afternoon, the patriotic celebrations of the Fourth of July roll on as WWE’s black-and-silver brand, NXT, storms into the legendary Center Stage Theater in Atlanta, Georgia, for the 2025 edition of The Great American Bash. While the fireworks lit the skies earlier this week, tonight the ring ropes will ignite with high-stakes action, international pride, and championship glory as every NXT title is put on the line. More than just a standalone event, the Bash serves as a pivotal stop on WWE’s blockbuster weekend, setting the tone for both tonight’s Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Goldberg will battle Gunther in a historic retirement clash for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and tomorrow night’s monumental WWE Evolution Premium Live Event.

In the night’s emotional main event, Pro Wrestling NOAH standout Yoshiki Inamura, the powerhouse tag team partner of Josh Briggs, carries the hopes of Japan on his broad shoulders as he challenges The Ruler, the dominant and calculating NXT Champion, for the crown and the gold. For Inamura, this isn’t just about personal glory—it’s about representing the fighting spirit of NOAH, showing the world that Japan’s toughest warriors can thrive on a global stage, and bringing honor back home. A victory tonight would reshape not only his career but shift the dynamic between NXT and Pro Wrestling NOAH forever.

But that’s not the only cross-promotional storyline rippling through the Bash. Earlier this month, WWE Battleground stunned the wrestling world when NXT’s own Trick Williams defeated Joe Hendry to become the new TNA World Champion, bringing the prestigious title to WWE for the first time in history. Now, tensions are at an all-time high as tonight’s Bash will feature the official contract signing for Slammiversary, where Trick Williams will defend the TNA World Title against not only the former champion Joe Hendry, who is desperate to reclaim his throne, but also “The Realest, The Standard of TNA” Mike Santana, whose dominant run in TNA has earned him a rightful shot at the crown. What began as a dream match between Williams and Hendry has now evolved into a three-way collision of egos, brands, and legacies. The question isn’t just whether the match will be signed—but whether all three men can leave the contract signing intact.

The Bash also serves as a prelude to tomorrow’s WWE Evolution, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the blockbuster tag team match featuring NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley, flanked by the ever-scheming Jazmyn Nyx, against a powerhouse pairing of The Glamour Blake Monroe (fka Mariah May) and The Juggernaut Jordynne Grace. Monroe shocked the industry when she defected from AEW and made her NXT debut, crashing Jayne’s first successful title defense following her upset victory over Stephanie Vaquer. That confrontation sparked instant animosity, with Fatal Influence—Jayne and Henley’s alliance—crashing Monroe’s contract signing, bitter over not receiving the same grand welcome for their own accomplishments. Meanwhile, Jordynne Grace, the TNA icon who steamrolled through the Evolution Eliminator Tournament, earned the right to challenge Jayne for the NXT Women’s Title tomorrow night, setting the stage for this combustible preview of what’s to come. Grace and Monroe, uneasy allies at best, will have to coexist against the cunning Fatal Influence, who will surely have their eyes on survival tonight and championship retention tomorrow.

With multiple championships up for grabs, interpromotional rivalries boiling over, and both tonight’s and tomorrow’s Premium Live Events inextricably linked, The Great American Bash 2025 could dramatically reshape the landscape of NXT. Will the black-and-silver brand stand tall heading into Evolution, or will outside forces from NOAH, AEW’s past, and TNA’s present shake the foundation of WWE’s third brand? All eyes are on Atlanta as the summer of professional wrestling history continues to unfold.
