Full Results for NXT: The Great American Bash (5 July 2022).
Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez defeat Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin by pin to win NXT Women's Tag Team titles.
Trick Williams defeats Wes Lee by pin.
Tiffany Stratton defeats Wendy Choo by pin.
Carmelo Hayes defeats Grayson Waller by pin.
The Creeds defeat Roderick Strong and Damon Kemp by pin.
Bron Breakker defeats Cameron Grimes by pin.

Breakker holds the title up in the entrance ramp but gets blindsided by JD McDonagh and his terrible haircut. He hits his finisher through a table and says that the "Necessary Evil is Here" and that he was "talking to you" meaning Bron.

Grimey wrenches Bron's arm on the top rope. He goes to the top but Bron cuts him off. The Champ hits a Frankensteiner for two. Bron then charges Grimes in the corner, but Grimes moves out of the way. He locks the Champ in an Octopus-type sub, but Bron gets out. Grimes then hits the Cave-In for a two-count. He goes to the top and says "to the moon" but gets speared by Bron when he jumps off.
Result - Bron Breakker defeats Cameron Grimes by pin.

Bron goes on a run, hitting a few shoulder blocks and his snap power slam. He pulls his strap down but Grimes hits a superkick and his flipping bodyslam for a near fall.

Grimey kicks Bron in the chest a few times. Bron shrugs off the last one by picking Grimes up and shoving him into the corner. He adds a spinebuster to neutralize both men. The crowd is chanting this is awesome like they've never seen wrestling before. What is going on tonight??

Grimes worked on the injured shoulder throughout the ad break. Bron tries to hoist Grimes up for a Gorilla Press, but Grimes counters out. Bron runs at the challenger at 1000 MPH but Grimes, using his brain, throws him out of the ring. Grimes hits a Soccer Kick while on the apron before stomping on the shoulder. He tosses the Champ back in for a two-count.

Both guys get a near fall early on. Bron gets mad when Grimes targets the injured shoulder, just as Grimes said he would. What is with these new-age supposed faces?

Bron is in an American singlet so the fans know who to root for.

Sikoa either has no memory, doesn't watch the product he's in, or both. Heels can act like that but he's supposed to be a face.

Mac Mitchell interviews Robert Stone, Von Wagner, and Sofia Cromwell. They blame the NXT Universe for not being on the GAB card. Solo Sikoa interrupts and says "why are you crying like you owed something?" Like he has not done the EXACT SAME THING FOR WEEKS by constantly asking for title shot after title shot after losing.

After the win, the Creeds help Damon Kemp to his feet. Roddy gets into the ring and just looks at the rest of the Diamond Mine. After the match, a vignette airs for someone named Axiom.

Roddy tags Kemp in and he hits Brutus with a Fallaway Slam and a slingshot spear for a near fall. Roddy and Julius tag in and Julius hits a few throws on the veteran. Again, the Creeds let their opponent get a tag in as Julius randomly stands up after slamming Roddy. Roddy rolls to the corner and tags Kemp in. Julius hits Kemp with the same slam and then the sliding clothesline for the win.
Result - The Creeds defeat Roderick Strong and Damon Kemp by pin.

Off the ad break, Kemp has Julius in a headlock in the middle of the ring. Julius gets out but gets decked by Roddy. Roddy tags in, but then Kemp comes back in again quickly. Julius makes the tag to Brutus and he pounds on Kemp's chest. Brutus weirdly stands in the middle of the ring and does a flip for no reason. It allows Kemp to tag Roddy in. Roddy ends up in the Creeds' corner, and ROddy hits Brutus with two jumping knees. Julius is confused as to how Roddy hit two knees. They don't react like normal humans.

🗣 BRUTTTUUUSSSSSS BALLLLL!!!!#WWENXT #NXTGAB @BrutusCreedwwe pic.twitter.com/CBZJXAbOtx

Julius tags in as does Kemp. Julius and Roddy mouth off at each other before Roddy comes back in. Kemp quickly comes back in again, but the meatheads take control. Kemp gets thrown out of the ring twice, but Roddy throws him back in. Brutus hits the Cannonball off the top buckle before we head to the commercial break.

Kemp is in to start but Strong immediately tags himself in. Vic says that because the Creeds are NXT Tag Champs, they can stand alone. Yeah, cuz that's totally what Diamond Mine has been talking about. Sounds like lines piped into his headseat.

Mac Mitchell interviews Mandy Rose about the title challenge next week from Roxanne Perez. She says she'll fail just like Cora jade did - twice. Rose than says that Jacy and Gigi have lost the titles before, but they "corrected themselves" by winning the title back. She doesn't think that Perez will make it to the title match next week. We then get a Chase U segment because I guess they are in college all year round. A student corrects Chase before Thea Hail says that there is probably a lot of history in England. Practically 95% of the world's history is, ya hyped up elf.

Some random QR code shows up before Mac Mitchell interviews Xyon Quinn. He says that Apollo Crews' eyes shouldn't be on anyone but him. He says he's a future multi-time Champ before heading off. We then pivot to Diamond Mine all pumping themselves up before their tag team match. Everyone but roddy Strong says "Diamond Mine Forever" and he's the only one not to bump fists before heading out to the ring.

And STILL!@Carmelo_WWE outshines @GraysonWWE at #NXTGAB! #WWENXT #NorthAmericanTitle pic.twitter.com/naF7rN2kA1

The two trade shots but Waller drops the Champ. He then hits a somersault Unprettier for two. Hayes breaks a hold with a chope to the throat. The two pivot sideways but Waller rolls and hits a cutter. Hayes rolls out of the ring, but Waller tosses him back in. He goes for his running cutter, but he's stopped by Trick Williams. Wes Lee comes from out of nowhere to take Williams out. Waller rolls in to complete his finisher, but Hayes hits him with a Codebreaker. He then lands his legdrop off the top for the win.
Result - Carmelo Hayes defeats Grayson Waller by pin.

Waller locks Melo in an arm bar but it is broken by a pin attempt. Hayes hits a takedown with his spinning arm move, before putting Waller in a Crossface sub. Waller flips it into a two-count before locking the Champ in a triangle choke. Waller then drops the Champ with a kick, but he also drops himself.

Fadeaway connects! #WWENXT #NXTGAB @Carmelo_WWE pic.twitter.com/HrlasHDPnu

Waller goes for his finisher early on, but Hayes evades it. Hayes is dropped by a rolling forearm from Waller. Waller goes to the top but Hayes pops up and drops him with a reverse legdrop off the middle rope. The challengers hits the Champ with a back suplex which sends Melo out of the ring. Waller slides out and hits Melo with a thunderous clothesline.

After Waller has made his way to the ring, Carmelo gets some elaborate entrance with Trick Williams announcing his entrance. They're really playing into the American vs. a foreign heel with this presentation. Melo comes out with an American flag on the tron and with red, white, and blue gear.

Vinci says that he could wrestle circles around Crews. Crews tells Vinci to get in the ring and they'll go right now, but Vinci declines as he's "dressed for a night out" and declines. Backstage, Mac Mitchell interviews Ivy Nile about her thoughts about the Diamond Mine match. She's interrupted by some nearby sound as Kayden Carter and Katana Chance are arguing with Tatum Paxley. Nile says that Paxley shouldn't get into any fights that she can't get out of. Nile tells Paxley to be at the gym tomorrow at 8 a.m. I, for one, will be asleep then.

Crews first says that his kids didn't watch him the last year when he was the Nigerian Prince character. They started watching again when he came back to NXT. He says he'll be watching the two singles matches and that he can't wait to get in the ring with any of the men. He is interrupted by Giovanni Vinci, another bald, athletic guy.

What a win for @tiffstrattonwwe!#WWENXT #NXTGAB @therealestwendy pic.twitter.com/typJ53lyxl

Mac Mitchell interviews the new Women's Tag Champs. They're on cloud nine and Perez says she's cashing in her contract next week on Mandy Rose. They want to knock Toxic Attraction off the mountain. Before the main event, Grimes talks to Breakker, asking him about the shoulder. Grimes says he's going to do whatever he can to leave as Champion. Bron says he wouldn't have it any other way.

Stratton gets out by working on the damaged hand of Choo, but Choo hits a brainbuster for another near fall. Stratton gets her bearing and kicks Choo into the corner. She hits her spinning Senton in the corner to pick up the win.
Result - Tiffany Stratton defeats Wendy Choo by pin.

Tiffany rips off one of Choo's nails but Choo fights back with a throw. She kicks Stratton down before landing her Cartwheel into a strike in the corner. She lands the nap drop but it takes more out of her than Tiffany. Tiffany hits a pop-up powerbomb for a near fall. Stratton angles for another powerbomb but Choo counters out and hits her with a Uranage for two. Choo then locks Stratton in a Sleeper.

Apparently, this ladies' match was supposed to take place later in the night but started during the commercial. It started backstage and was made official. Stratton has control of Choo early on. Stratton hits a double stomp for two.

Wade and Vic say that they can smell rubbing alcohol. After that match, we go backstage where Tiffany Stratton is getting her makeup for her match. She says, "not too much because I'm pretty perfect." She closes her eyes, allowing Wendy Choo to come in and throw some powder in her face. The two start battling backstage during the commercial.

Trick stomps on Lee but Lee fights back with several varied strikes. He knocks his opponent out of the ring with a kick and gives chase. Melo gets in Lee's face so Trick can get one of his water bottles. He rubs something all over his hands and rubs it in Lee's eyes. Trick lands a spinning whirlwind kick to pick up the upset win.
Result - Trick Williams defeats Wes Lee by pin.

Carmelo Hayes accompanies the loudmouth Trick to the ring. Trick tosses Lee across the ring but Lee hits a sweep on Trick. Williams goes for a spinning kick but misses. The two then trade missed kick attempt after missed attempt before Lee drops Trick with a kick. Williams retreats to his corner like he's a boxer and he takes a sip of water. Lee rushes him in the corner but gets power slammed for two.

Pretty Deadly cuts a promo running down Briggs and Jensen since they are the new NXT UK Tag Champs. After the vignette, where Deadly talk up Essex, Wade Barrett calls Essex the Jersey Shore of England. That's not a comparison to be proud of, but I wonder how orange people there could get . . . .

Maybe Tony D was showing Legado his TikTok stuff, since that's a thing now.

A quick shot shows Bron arriving to the arena. He says his shoulder is fine. Tony D addresses his family, saying that he told Legado that there would be consequences if he didn't win the North American title. He shows Wilde, Del Toro, and Elektra photos of Escobar in a hospital bed. He says that the only one that has pulled their weight has been Elektra. He says that Wilde and Del Toro have one more chance next week to prove their worth or else.
