Production






= Background

The Great American Bash is a professional wrestling event established in 1985. Following WWE's acquisition of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in March 2001, the promotion revived the event as their own annual pay-per-view (PPV) in 2004. The event continued until 2009. Following this 2009 event, The Great American Bash was discontinued as a PPV. In 2012, WWE revived the event to be held as a special episode of SmackDown but was again discontinued. In 2020, WWE again revived the event, this time for the developmental brand NXT as an annual television special of the NXT program. On June 4, 2022, during In Your House, WWE announced that the 10th Great American Bash under the WWE banner, and 24th overall, would be held on July 5 at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. The special episode of NXT aired on the USA Network.




= Storylines

The card included matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines were produced on NXT's weekly television program, NXT, and the supplementary online streaming show, Level Up.
On the June 14 episode of NXT, after Bron Breakker successfully retained the NXT Championship, Cameron Grimes interrupted. Grimes called Breakker's success a joke and stated that Breakker only got successful because of his last name (Steiner). Grimes also stated that Breakker got better every time he stepped in the ring, but didn't have Grimes' heart. Grimes then challenged Breakker for the title at The Great American Bash, and Breakker accepted.




Aftermath


While the Great American Bash events from 2020 to 2022 were held as television specials of the NXT program, the 2023 event was made a livestreaming event, airing on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network in most international markets.
