The three teams will be Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon, Io Shirai and Zoey Stark, Dakota Kai, and NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez. The winning team from the Triple Threat will earn a title match opportunity for NXT’s Great American Bash against LeRae and Hartwell.

A mixed tag team match has also been announced for next week’s go-home episode for Great American Bash. Mercedes Martinez and Jake Atlas will compete against Xia Li and Boa Priestly. Martinez was attacked by Li and Boa in a backstage segment, this week but Atlas made the save.

WWE has also announced that Cameron Grimes will return to action, next week but his opponent has not been announced. WWE had been teasing that Grimes vs. Million Dollar Champion LA Knight feud would continue. They aired a video package with Knight taunting Grimes and WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase.

Grimes also appeared in a parking lot segment as he returned from checking up on DiBiase following last week’s attack by Knight. Ari Sterling made some jokes on DiBiase which led to Grimes dropping him with a punch. Sterling vs. Grimes may go down which is yet to become official.

That being said, the final night of NXT before the 2021 Great American Bash stands as follows,

* Cameron Grimes returns to action

* Mercedes Martinez and Jake Atlas vs. Xia Li and Boa

* Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon vs. Io Shirai and Zoey Stark vs. Dakota Kai and NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez. The winners will challenge NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell at Great American Bash
