WWE NXT Great American Bash Night Two Results – July 8, 2020

Welcome to Ringside News’ coverage of WWE NXT. Please keep refreshing throughout the show for constant updates once it kicks off at 8:00 PM EST.

To compete against AEW Fyter Fest Night Two, NXT will hold Night Two of the Great American Bash tonight, with the main event promising to crown NXT’s first-ever double champion. Let’s look at the card.

Following last week’s backstage brawl between Mia Yim and Candice LeRae, the two have been scheduled to compete in a Street Fight. The feud between these two has been going on since LeRae and Gargano turned heel weeks ago, and tonight could finally see the end of the rivalry between these two women.

Last week’s backstage brawl also saw two male superstars getting involved: Johnny Gargano and Isaiah “Swerve” Scott. Gargano and Scott will clash for the first time on NXT. Since Gargano has left the main event, it is great to see him tear it up with midcard guys like Swerve, but will Swerve emerge victorious overall Gargano?

Another match that was set up last week is the 6-Man Tag Match scheduled for tonight when El Legado del Fantasma take on Breezango and Drake Maverick. This will be the first time that El Legado will compete as a trio, but this will also be the first appearance of Santos Escobar since he unmakes himself. Will Maverick get his revenge on El Legado?

In tonight’s main event, it is the match that everyone will be tuning in to watch. NXT North American Champion Keith Lee will take on NXT Champion Adam Cole in a Champion vs. Champion, Winner-Take-All match. While photos of a potential finish have leaked online, this match is sure to tear the house down regardless of the finish. The only question is: Will they actually pull the trigger and crown a double champion, or will there be some sort of dusty finish to keep the titles separate? We’ll find out tonight.

In what is sure to be an action-packed episode of NXT, keep your eyes peeled to Ringside News, as we will begin coverage when NXT goes live at 8:00 PM EST!
