The Great American Bash
The Great American Bash was a professional wrestling event established in 1985. Following World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) acquisition of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in March 2001, WWE revived the pay-per-view (PPV) in 2004. The 2009 event, which was renamed as The Bash, was the sixth annual Great American Bash produced by WWE and 20th overall. It took place on June 28, 2009, at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California and featured wrestlers from the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands. It was the only event in The Great American Bash chronology to be titled as The Bash, and it was also the final to be held on PPV. In 2010, the event was replaced on PPV by Fatal 4-Way. The event, which reverted to being called The Great American Bash, returned in July 2012 as a special episode of "SmackDown". It was again revived in 2020 for the NXT brand and has since been held as special episodes of "NXT".
