Wrestling Roundup: July 2, 2020

The Wrestling Roundup is here to bring you all the news and rumors you need to know in one place.

NXT Great American Bash Results

In programming against AEW’s Fyter Fest, NXT presented the Great American Bash last night. Part two will be next week, but this week’s show was pretty stacked. A strap match, a number one contender’s match, and an absolute dream match headlined this week’s show. Who walked out of NXT victorious this week? Here are the results:

• Tegan Nox def. Dakota Kai, Mia Yim, and Candice LeRae to become #1 Contender for the NXT Women’s Championship
• Timothy Thatcher def. Oney Lorcan
• Rhea Ripley def. Aliyah & Robert Stone
• Dexter Lumis def. Roderick Strong in a strap match
• Io Shirai def. Sasha Banks

Just know that on this show we were blessed with that Shirai-Banks match. These two are two of the best women’s talents we’ve ever seen in WWE. Seek out this match and watch it.

We’ve got coverage of night one of Fyter Fest coming courtesy of Javier. Check that out as well.

Renee Young Announces Cookbook

Everyone’s favorite Canadian announcer had a big announcement on Canada Day. Renee Young took to Instagram to announce that she is releasing a cookbook! Young wrote that she’s been working for three months on the book, and I for one can’t wait to have some of the recipes she is always posting on Instagram.
