Oba Femi Retains NXT Title In Great American Bash Slugfest

Oba Femi Retains NXT Title In Great American Bash Slugfest

WWE’s NXT brand brought the Great American Bash for fans on Saturday afternoon, and it was worth tuning in for. Atlanta, Georgia’s Center Stage played host for the show, and they saw a hard-hitting NXT Title match.

At The Great American Bash, Oba Femi defended the NXT Championship against Yoshiki Inamura. This match saw the NOAH alum get a quick push to the top of the roster, but he also made for a formidable opponent to Femi.

Josh Briggs, Yoshiki Inamura’s best friend in NXT, was at ringside for the match. Naturally, there was a hype video, with tons of fans paying attention to what the two brought to the table. The match also had a big-fight feel thanks to the expert ring introductions from Mike Rome.

This match was a course in hard-hitting action. As Big E once put it, they were two big meaty men slapping meat, and fans in Atlanta were all about it.

The two men threw everything they could at each other, and fans chanted “this is awesome.” Then the referee was accidentally taken out eventually Yoshiki pulled off a splash from the top that should have seen him win the match, but no referee was around. Josh Briggs tried to get Yoshiki to use a chain on Trick, but he didn’t. Then, Williams nailed a chokeslam to regain control of the match.

There were a few close near falls from Yoshiki, but then Oba Femi nailed a Fall From Grace to retain the NXT Title. The Ruler is still top dog in NXT.

We will keep a close eye on the NXT brand, because now, more than ever, it has become a must-watch product. Only time will tell how they are able to top this, but Shawn Michaels and company have made a trend of doing just that.

TNA World Title Contract Signing Ends With Brutal Ambush Attack During NXT Great American Bash

TNA World Title Contract Signing Ends With Brutal Ambush Attack During NXT Great American Bash

WWE’s NXT brand presented the Great American Bash on Saturday afternoon from Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia. One of the many reasons to tune in included a contract signing for an upcoming TNA pay-per-view main event match.

At the Great American Bash, Trick Williams, Joe Hendry, and Mike Santana took part in a contract signing for their upcoming TNA World Championship match at Slammiversary. Naturally, fans were expecting things to escalate quickly.

At NXT Battleground, Trick Williams defeated Joe Hendry to win the TNA World Championship. This was the first time a TNA title changed hands at a WWE event, and the first time a WWE wrestler held a TNA championship. History was made, and Trick Williams was in rare form.

Trick Williams mocked TNA and called it “TrickNA.” He defended the title against both TNA and NXT challengers. After a match against Josh Briggs, Hendry returned and attacked Williams. Mike Santana also demanded a title shot, so TNA Director Santino Marella later announced the Slammiversary match would be a triple threat.

Ava was on hand in the ring on behalf of TNA Director of Authority, Santino Marella to officiate the contract signing. Santana made his way to the ring through the crowd, but Hendry and Williams went for their usual entrance. TNA President Carlos Silva was also there, and he looked happy during Trick’s music.

Santana started off, as he talked about how much the TNA World Title means to him. He also said that we will find out at Slammiversary if Trick Williams is all sizzle and no steak. He also stated, that while he respects Joe Hendry, he is still in Santana’s way.

Joe Hendry threw some shade at everyone in the match, and fans said that they believe. Then Trick Williams was able to close things out as he declared that he is carrying two brands on his back, and he also claimed to be the sizzle and the steak.

As Trick Williams started to leave, Joe Hendry stopped him. He told Trick that Santana and himself don’t agree with a lot, but the TNA World Title is coming home with a TNA wrestler at Slammiversary and that Williams talks too much. Then Hendry and Santana ganged up on Trick and put him through a table to pose with the title.

Suddenly, Dark State showed up out of nowhere. Trick Williams was able to scramble out of the ring, but Joe Hendry and Mike Santana were not as lucky. The TNA wrestlers took a beat down from the NXT stable as fans looked on in shock.

TNA Wrestling’s Slammiversary 2025 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, July 20, at the UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York. We will keep a close eye on this match at Slammiversary. Ringside News will have live coverage of the show as well.

Ethan Page Retains NXT North American Title In Brutal Great American Bash Falls Count Anywhere Match

Ethan Page Retains NXT North American Title In Brutal Great American Bash Falls Count Anywhere Match

WWE’s NXT brand held the Great American Bash on Saturday afternoon. The event took place at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia. Fans watched matches featuring talent from the NXT roster. The venue served as the location for the full event card.

Ethan Page defended the NXT North American Championship against Ricky Saints in a Falls Count Anywhere match. This match was a long time coming, as the two also shared a locker room in AEW once upon a time, not too long ago.

This match went down fourth of the night, right after Sol Ruca retained the NXT Women’s North American Title. Then it was time for this brutal and unforgiving bout. The two got started fast and kept that intensity.

The two men fought all around the Center Stage arena, even around the concourse area where fans were standing around. Then they finally made their way to ringside, where chairs were used and fans chanted for tables.

Those two gave fans far more than they asked for, as the barricade was even brought into the ring and used as a weapon. Then four chairs were stacked up as they moved to the top and teased a big move, which became Ricky Saints nailing a powerbomb on Page through the chairs for a close near fall.

The two moved to the loading dock area next, and they fought through some dressing rooms. Jasper Troy was shoved in the process, and he slammed Ricky Saints into a road case and sent him for a ride. Then Page took advantage and threw Saints back into the ring. They kept going and things escalated into Page nailing an Ego’s Edge through a table on Saints to win and retain his title.

We will have to see what happens next, because the NXT North American Championship has certainly seen a ton of great matches. Only time will tell what the future holds, but we know who will carry the championship for now.

WWE’s NXT brand held the Great American Bash on Saturday afternoon. The event took place at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia. Fans watched matches featuring talent from the NXT roster. The venue served as the location for the full event card.

Sol Ruca defended the Women’s NXT North American Championship against Izzi Dame on the show. The match came days after Sol Ruca made her debut on WWE SmackDown. Both competitors exchanged offense throughout the contest, each working to gain the advantage. The match ended with one competitor securing the win and holding the championship.

This match went on third of the night, and everyone in the match had a chance to shine. Fans in Atlanta wanted to see history made, since no NXT Championship title has changed hands in the city before. That being said, Sol Ruca had a very large percentage of fans behind her.

The two competitors turned the match into a hard-hitting contest, even though some fans may not have expected that. Despite everything that Izzi Dame threw at Sol Ruca, the champion kicked out. After Tatum Paxley caused a disruption, Zaria took care of her. Then Ruca nailed a Soul Snatcher on Dame to pick up the clean win and retain her title.

Sol Ruca has been quite busy, and she will also be on hand at WWE Evolution as part of the four-way match for the Women’s Tag Team Titles. Only time will tell where she will be in a year from now, but she is certainly on the rise.
