Shawn Michaels announced that NXT’s The Great American Bash will take place on Sunday, June 28.

This will be the first NXT premium live event to air on The CW Network and will have a special start time of 7PM ET. Internationally, the show will air on Netflix.

The show will go head-to-head with AEW’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view, which is also slated for June 28 but starting an hour later at 8PM ET.

On April 28, WWE and The CW announced that all NXT PLEs would now air exclusively on The CW as part of an expanded agreement. The following day, The CW announced a partnership with ESPN where all sports programming, including NXT, would also be available on the ESPN app with unlimited plan.

The Great American Bash 2026 will be held at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
