Kevin Owens to attend WWE NXT Great American Bash tailgate & watch party
Kevin Owens and Busted Open show host Dave LaGreca have been announced as part of the upcoming WWE NXT Great American Bash tailgate & watch party.
WWE is set to host a tailgate event before the 2026 NXT Great American Bash PLE on June 28, 2026, at the WWE Performance Center. Later, the promotion is also set to host a watch party once the show gets going.
On the June 23, 2026, episode of WWE NXT on The CW, it was announced that Busted Open’s Dave LaGreca will be at the tailgate alongside former WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens at the watch party.
Owens has been out of in-ring action since April 2025, before WrestleMania 41, where he was ruled out of competition with a neck injury. Recovering from that, Owens also served as a coach on season three of WWE LFG on A&E. As of now, there is no confirmed status on Owens’ in-ring return.
