WWE has made another championship match official for the August 23 SummerSlam event during tonight’s episode of Raw on the USA Network.
Tonight, former Raw Women’s Champion Asuka had a match against SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley, which if she won would earn her a rematch against current Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks at SummerSlam.
Asuka did win the match tonight, making Bayley tap with the Asuka Lock, and now Banks vs Asuka is official.
Banks challenged Asuka at the Horror Show at Extreme Rules, but the match was officially declared a non-finish as the referee was taken out and Bayley stepped in to give Banks the win, but it ended up being overruled.
There was then a rematch on the July 20 episode of Raw, which Banks won to crown her the new champion.
Asuka had held the title since May 11 when Becky Lynch relinquished it after announcing she was pregnant.
