Major main roster Championship match announced for WWE Great American Bash
WWE is bringing back The Great American Bash for a big two-night event this summer. The cards are shaping up for both nights and now another championship match has been revealed.
The Unholy Union has held the Women's Tag Team Championship for 39 days. Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre secured a major hometown win at Clash at the Castle: Scotland on June 15 as they dethroned Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair. The Triple Threat also featured Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler.
World Wrestling Entertainment has announced that The Unholy Union will defend the titles at The Great American Bash. Fyre and Dawn will go up against Meta-Four's Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson.
"The Meta-Four are ready for gold once again as Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson will challenge Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title. Legend and Jackson impressed in a major way by defeating Karmen Petrovic and Sol Ruca in a tag team match before throwing out the challenge to the champions. Can Legend and Jackson win their first title in WWE, or will Dawn and Fyre rule in their old stomping grounds? Find out at Week One of the Great American Bash at 8/7 C on Syfy," reads the official match preview.
The Unholy Union has not defended since winning the titles from Belair and Cargill during Clash at the Castle. Fyre and Dawn were the final NXT Women's Tag Team Champions but lost the unification match to then-main roster champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler in June 2023.
