The Great American Bash was a pay-per-view first used back in 1985 by the National Wrestling Alliance under Jim Crockett Promotions, and then continued under WCW.
After WWE purchased WCW in March 2001, they used the Great American Bash name for live specials with Raw, SmackDown, ECW. The last Great American Bash event under the WWE was a special edition of Super SmackDown Live which took place on July 2, 2012.
WWE also held a PPV simply called Bash which took place at then the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California on June 28, 2009.
