WWE Books Great American Bash Opposite AEW All In: Texas

WWE is going all-in on Atlanta—and they’re not backing down from the competition. The company just announced a massive weekend takeover happening July 12 and 13, with three major events across two venues, including the return of Evolution and the Great American Bash. And in a bold scheduling move, WWE will go head-to-head with AEW All In: Texas.

The press release confirms that Saturday Night’s Main Event will take place on Saturday, July 12 at State Farm Arena, with Evolution following the next night at the same venue. That same Saturday afternoon, WWE will also run The Great American Bash at the historic Center Stage Theater—just hours before AEW runs its pay-per-view in Arlington, Texas.

“State Farm Arena to host Saturday Night’s Main Event on Saturday, July 12 & Evolution on Sunday, July 13. The Great American Bash to emanate from Center Stage Theater on the afternoon of Saturday, July 12.”

Tickets for the Atlanta events go on sale May 28 at 10 a.m. ET, with presale access already underway.

WWE’s decision to stack three events across one weekend and put Great American Bash directly against AEW’s biggest summer show sends a clear message—they’re not playing defense.

With the return of Evolution, the all-women’s event that hasn’t been seen since 2018, plus a loaded card expected for both Saturday Night’s Main Event and The Great American Bash, Atlanta will be the epicenter of WWE’s summer schedule.
