WWE Adds Jasper Troy-Je’Von Evans Grudge Match to Great American Bash

Rising WWE NXT performer Jasper Troy intensified his rivalry with Je’Von Evans on 9 July by attacking Evans twice backstage during the weekly NXT broadcast. Troy then demanded that the forthcoming NXT Championship bout at the Great American Bash be expanded into a Triple Threat match, but the challenge instead led to officials booking a separate singles contest between the two wrestlers for the premium live event. The feud reached the ring on 12 July at the Great American Bash, where Troy, the winner of the developmental reality series ‘WWE LFG,’ and Evans exchanged sustained offense in their newly scheduled match. The bout unfolded as part of a broader card that also features Noah Yoshiki pursuing the NXT Championship with the backing of Josh Briggs. A final result for the Troy-Evans encounter had not been announced at the time of publication.
