<p>The bad blood between the two women stems from when Banks and her tag team partner, current SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley, went to NXT to face Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox.</p>



<p>Banks and Bayley beat Blackheart and Nox to retain their championships but were chased out of the ring by Shirai, who declared that NXT was “hers.”</p>



<p>Shirai responded to Banks&#8217; challenge and the exchange was noticed by the NXT General Manager William Regal who made the match official for the Great American Bash.</p>
