Production

Background

The event will be held at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Great American Bash is a professional wrestling event established in 1985. Following WWE's acquisition of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in March 2001,[1] the promotion revived the event as their own annual pay-per-view (PPV) event in 2004,[2] which continued until 2009. Following this 2009 event, The Great American Bash was discontinued as a PPV. In 2012, WWE revived the event to be held as a special episode of SmackDown but was again discontinued. In 2020, WWE again revived the event, this time for the developmental brand NXT as an annual television special of the NXT program until the 2023 event, which aired via WWE's livestreaming platforms.[3] It was then again a television special of NXT in 2024.[4]

On May 27, 2025, it was announced that the 13th Great American Bash under the WWE banner, the sixth annual for NXT, and the 27th overall, would be held as a livestreaming event on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia.[5] In addition to Peacock in the United States, the event will be available livestream on Netflix in most international markets and the WWE Network in any remaining countries that have not yet transferred to Netflix due to pre-existing contracts. This marks the first Great American Bash to livestream on Netflix following the WWE Network's merger under the service in January in those areas.[6] The event will have a special start time of 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Storylines

The event will include matches that resulted from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT.[7][8]
