“There Would Be No NXT Without Bayley And I”- Sasha Banks Puts Io Shirai At Notice

NXT is pulling out all the stops to create a compelling card against AEW: Fyter Fest. Notably, the yellow brand will be bringing back the iconic Great American Bash for a two night NXT event.

The latest edition to the card already has fans salivating. The Boss Sasha Banks will make a trip to NXT to battle the queen pin of the brand in the form of Io Shirai. For the uninitiated, the entire feud began when Sasha and Bayley were evicted from NXT by Shirai.

As the two had gone back to their hunting ground of the yesteryears, Shirai made it clear that she was the one who owned it now.

Obviously, the women’s tag team champions would want to retaliate. They uploaded this video via Twitter to send a warning to the Joshi legend.

“Who do you think you are? Coming out and saying that this is your NXT. Well, Io, ding dong, there would be no NXT without Bayley and I. So what do you say at Great American Bash this Wednesday, me and you, one-on-one. Cuz rent’s due boo-boo, and it’s time to collect.”

Io Shirai decided to respond to this challenge in her own unique manner.

Just like that, Io Shirai vs Sasha Banks was confirmed for the card. Don’t worry because this isn’t the only battle that The Great American Bash has to offer. The card has already developed into a pretty formidable one.

NXT Great American Bash announces action packed Card

Things will come to a head as Dexter Lumis will settle the score with The Undisputed Era’s Roderick Strong in the first ever strap match.

Interestingly, Lumis has initimidated Strong for quite a long time now. This will make for some interesting viewing considering both the stars are also excellent in-ring performers.

The NXT Women’s Championship will also get its next contender. In a fatal four way match, Mia Yim, Tegan Nox, Candice LeRae and Dakota Kai will battle for the right to face Io Shirai. Considering the claiber of the performers, it should be a cracker of a contest.

Rhea Ripley will finally face off against Robert Stone and Aliyah in a handicap match to determine whether she joins Stone’s failing brand.

However, the biggest match of the two week event will be a huge Champion Vs. Champion match. The NXT North American Champion Keith Lee will battle the NXT Champion Adam Cole for a winner takes all match.

Needless to say, we are in for a blistering Wednesday. What will you be watching – AEW Fyter Fest or NXT The Great American Bash? Let us know in the comments what your preference will look like.
