WWE NXT Great American Bash going head-to-head with AEW Forbidden Door 2026
Shawn Michaels announced on social media that NXT Great American Bash will take place on Sunday, June 28th 2026 and will air live on The CW Network at 7:00 PM ET. The event will mark the first NXT Premium Live Event to air on CW following the expiration of WWE’s Peacock deal earlier this year, while NXT Stand & Deliver was streamed on YouTube. A location for the show has not yet been announced.
Great American Bash will face competition from two other wrestling events on the same day, as TNA Slammiversary begins at 3:00 PM ET and AEW Forbidden Door starts at 8:00 PM ET.
Michaels stated the following…
“Hello boys and girls. Now I know everybody’s used to seeing me these days do my crazy posts on Instagram and TikTok, but everybody’s been asking me, when is the first PLE on the CW Network? Well, that’s what this announcement is for. June 28th, CW Network and NXT are going to bring you the Great American Bash. This partnership is moving forward. The Great American Bash on June 28th will have a special start time of 7 PM.”
