With the Great American Bash in the rearview, WWE NXT will continue delivering championship matches on its weekly episodes. As seen last night, three more title matches have been booked for the coming edition.

WWE NXT North American Champion Oba Femi will host an open challenge for his title on next week's show. The information about this open challenge and the title defense was announced during the Bash night two.

Femi himself threw down the gauntlet as he's seemingly been hungry for new challenges in his current title run. Thus, it will be his first match and first title defense for Femi since the July 16 episode of WWE NXT.

Last month, Oba Femi also retained his NXT North American Championship over Wes Lee to continue his reign of dominance since winning the belt in January from Dragon Lee by cashing in his Breakout Winner contract.

WWE NXT Tag Team Championships will also be defended on next week's episode with the winners Nathan Frazer & Axiom defending against top contenders Andre Chase & Ridge Holland as announced at Bash.

Frazer & Axiom retained their titles in the main event of the Great American Bash night two by defeating MSK. After the match, the group imploded with Wes Lee turning heel on Zachary Wentz & Trey Miguel.

Also, Tony D'Angelo will defend the NXT Heritage Cup Championship on next week's episode against No Quarter Catch Crew's Charlie Dempsey in another title bout that was made official during this week's Bash.

Last night, Wren Sinclair defeated Kendal Grey in a singles contest. Per the stipulation, Sinclair became a member of the No Quarter Catch Crew and secured the Heritage Cup match for Charlie Dempsey.

WWE NXT August 13 episode takes place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida and it will also be moved back to its home USA Network from Syfy. The currently announced match card for the show goes as follows:

• Tony D'Angelo (c) vs. Charlie Dempsey for the NXT Heritage Cup
• Axiom & Nathan Frazer (c) vs. Chase U (Andre Chase & Ridge Holland) for the NXT Tag Team Championship
• Oba Femi will defend the NXT North American Championship in an Open Challenge
• Eddy Thorpe vs. Lexis King
