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.
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 Womens 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 Egos 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.
