The 2024 NXT: The Great American Bash was a two-part professional wrestling television special produced by WWE. It was the 12th Great American Bash under the WWE banner, the fifth annual produced specifically for its developmental brand NXT, and the 26th Great American Bash event overall. The two-part event took place on July 30 and August 6, 2024, at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida and aired as special episodes of NXT on Syfy, due to sister network USA's (NXT's regular network) coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics.
This returned The Great American Bash to being a television special of NXT, like the events from 2020 to 2022, as the 2023 event aired via WWE's livestreaming platforms, and subsequently the first time since 2020 to air over two weeks. In addition to wrestlers from NXT, there were also appearances by wrestlers from WWE's Raw brand and partner promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), which began a talent exchange arrangement with NXT in June 2024.
Ten matches were contested on Week 1 of the event, with four taped for future episodes of Level Up. In the televised main event, Roxanne Perez defeated Thea Hail to retain the NXT Women's Championship. In another prominent match, which was the opening bout, The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn) defeated Meta-Four (Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend) to retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
For Week 2, ten matches were contested at the event, with four taped for future episodes of Level Up. In the televised main event, Axiom and Nathan Frazer defeated MSK (Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz) to retain the NXT Tag Team Championship, leading to Lee's heel turn for the first time ever. In other prominent matches, TNA wrestler Joe Hendry defeated Joe Coffey, and Ethan Page defeated Oro Mensah to retain the NXT Championship.
