Roxanne Perez vs. Thea Hail title match announced for WWE NXT Great American Bash

The WWE NXT Women’s Championship will be on the line at the Great American Bash two-night event.

NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez announced during this week’s episode that she will defend her title against Thea Hail at Great American Bash, scheduled for July 30 and August 6 as part of a two-night TV special.

NXT will air on SyFy both of those weeks, as USA Network coverage of the Olympics will preempt NXT on the network.

Hail and Perez engaged in a war of words that turned physical on Tuesday’s show, with Hail locking Perez in a submission before she was pulled off of the Women’s Champion.

Perez has held the NXT Women’s Championship since defeating Lyra Valkyria for the title at Stand & Deliver on WrestleMania weekend this past April. Perez has held the title for a combined 206 days as recognized by WWE across her two reigns with the title, good for the eighth-most combined days as NXT Women’s Champion.
