This year, NXT has successfully organized 3 PLE events in Vengeance Day, Stand and Deliver and Battleground. The brand has also hosted New Year’s Evil, Roadblock and Spring Breakin’ as the weekly TV specials in between these events.
After being a regular yearly event from 1985 to 2000 under NWA and WCW, The Great American Bash event series was revived by WWE in 2004. It was an annual pay-per-view event until 2009 before returning as a special episode of SmackDown in 2012.
WWE again started this event under the NXT Banner. While all the events in this series have taken place between June and July, this will be the first time that the event will actually take place in the last week of July.
WWE will host SummerSlam 2023 event just a week later on August 5, 2023. Check here for the complete WWE PLE Schedule.
Last year’s Great American Bash event featured Bron Breakker successfully defending his NXT Championship against Cameron Grimes.
