Posted by admin on June 10th, 2026

The road to the next premium live event is officially taking shape after some massive qualifying matches. The next challenger for the title is set, and it is NARAKU. The upcoming special event will feature major championship opportunities for some of the fastest-rising stars on the brand.

One of the bouts on the bill for the June 9th episode of WWE NXT on The CW was a singles match between NARAKU and Mason Rook. The winner of the bout would secure their spot at NXT Great American Bash on 6/28 to challenge for the NXT Championship. Both men fought hard to earn this massive opportunity, knowing it could change the course of their careers.

NARAKU and Kendal Grey Earn Title Matches at NXT Great American Bash on 6/28

During the singles bout, Kam Hendrix showed up, and his involvement distracted Rook. NARAKU capitalized on that and put Rook away to win the bout. The former IWGP Heavyweight Champion is now set to have his first title match in NXT. He will challenge Tony D’Angelo for the NXT Championship. This guarantees a highly physical encounter between the champion and the dangerous newcomer.

The men were not the only ones competing for a premium live event spot. Kelani Jordan and Kendal Grey clashed on the June 9th NXT to determine who would challenge Lola Vice for the NXT Women’s Championship at the Great American Bash. The women’s division continues to prove it is just as competitive as any division on WWE RAW.

The backend of the bout saw both talents hit a series of reversals, but Grey finished it off by hitting Jordan with the Shades of Grey to win the match. Grey is now set to challenge Lola Vice for the NXT Women’s Title at the upcoming PLE.
