Major Non-Title Match Set For Wednesday’s NXT Great American Bash

Two champions will clash this Wednesday at NXT’s Great American Bash.

For the next two weeks, NXT will run special shows on the USA Network entitled “Great American Bash” and we know in two weeks will be the big NXXT Champion vs NXT North American Champion double title match. Today another champion vs champion match was announced but this had no titles on the line.

Saturday morning the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bayley and Sasha Banks posted a video on social media that was calling out the NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai. If you remember after the duo defended the tag titles on NXT, Shirai came out and cleared the ring of the role model and the boss. That did not sit well with the tag champs.

Not long after this video was posted, NXT General Manager William Regal announced the Io Shirai vs Sasha Banks is official for this Wednesday night’s show.

It seems the past and the present are in conflict once again and the #WWENXT Universe will have the pleasure of seeing it happen. It is OFFICIAL.

This match is not the only match already announced for this Wednesday’s NXT. We will also see a fatal four-way with Mia Yim, Tegan Nox, Candice LaRae, and Dakota Kai with the winner becoming number one contender to Io Shirai and the NXT Women’s Championship. Plus we will see the first strap match in NXT history between Dexter Lumis and Roderick Strong.
