Production[edit]
Background[edit]
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) 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. On July 7, 2024, during Heatwave, it was announced that the 12th Great American Bash under the WWE banner, and 26th overall, would be held on August 6 at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. The special episode of NXT will air in the United States on Syfy, due to coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics airing on USA Network.[3]
Storylines[edit]
The event includes matches that result 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, and the supplementary online streaming show, Level Up.[4][5]
