WWE Doesn’t Know What SummerSlam Match Stipulation Actually Means Yet

WWE

A new update has shared an insight into WWE’s plans for the MMA Rules match at SummerSlam 2023 between Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey.

While this week’s Raw saw extensive hype for the clash between real-life best friends Rousey and Baszler, there has been a lack of details regarding the stipulation of the match itself, other than its title of ‘MMA Rules’ of course.

Now, writing in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer has revealed that the reason behind the lack of information is to do with the company not actually knowing what MMA Rules entails just yet.

Meltzer writes:

We do know the reason nothing was announced is because they hadn’t settled on exactly what MMA rules means

This apparent lack of preparation may seem surprising to some WWE fans – but not surprising to many others – but with SummerSlam just a day away at the time of this writing, hopefully the company figures it out soon enough.

With Rousey expected to leave WWE not long after SummerSlam, Baszler has made clear that she is not going anywhere by revealing her immediate goals after she gets past the former UFC champion – click here to read on.

While Baszler and Rousey found a place on the card, two other top women’s matches planned to take place have been cut, those being Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus and Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez, although the latter may still be added – click here for the latest on that.
