WWEs 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 Womens 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 Womens Tag Team Titles. Only time will tell where she will be in a year from now, but she is certainly on the rise.
