The second day of the WWE NXT Great American Bash saw Keith Lee dethrone Adam Cole and become the first superstar to hold the NXT Championship and the North American Championship simultaneously in the main event. Lee ended Cole’s record run as the promotion’s top star.
In the main event, Lee and Cole put on the best fight of the night. Cole did start hot while Lee made comebacks. The match was going at a methodical pace before the big finish that saw Lee pin Cole for the big prize. Lee's next feud will be Karrion Kross.
In another encounter, Tony Nese, who was up against the big burly Australian Bronson Reed, ended in a short but entertaining match. Reed picked up the win and continued his impressive momentum.
As for Isaiah Scott, who was pitted against Johnny Gargano, he put on a solid filler spot and Gargano did not match the level of intensity since he turned heel.
Legado Del Fantasma was up against Drake Maverick and Breezango played out against Cruiserweight champion Santos Escobar. Breezango did not lay hands on Maverick till the last moment and expectedly picked up the win hitting his finisher. Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza and Fandango and Tyler Breeze did their part well.
In the women’s division, Mercedes Martinez did his job against Santana Garett with NXT establishing her as a serious contender.
