Details revealed on how WWE is introducing Great American Bash to counter AEW's Fyter Fest

WWE is bringing back an old pay-per-view, and re-branding next week's episode of WWE NXT as part of The Great American Bash. The decision to host the pay-per-view event as The Great American Bash appeared to come out of nowhere, but it became really obvious that this was a change made by WWE to boost the upcoming episodes of NXT as part of the Wednesday Night Wars. At the same time, AEW is hosting Fyter Fest in the next two weeks, and the move was made by WWE to counter the events from their biggest competitor. Now, it is being reported further that The Great American Bash is going to take place over 2 weeks, the same as AEW Fyter Fest.
