After last episode of Raw and today’s SmackDown, the SummerSlam match card for this Sunday has begun to take fuller shape as a further two matches were confirmed for the event on Monday night.
Sasha Banks defeated Nia Jax in a number one contender’s match for the Raw Women’s Championship and will, therefore, go on to face reigning Champion, Alexa Bliss, for the gold at the ‘Biggest Party of the Summer’.

Elsewhere, the tease of a partial Shield reunion continued on Raw and led to Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins finally getting on the same page and uniting for the iconic Shield fist bump pose. General Manager, Kurt Angle, would go on to announce that Ambrose & Rollins will challenge Cesaro & Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Titles this Sunday.
These additions have taken the number of matches currently announced for SummerSlam up to 11, or possibly 12 if Neville receives his contractual rematch after losing his Cruiserweight Championship to Akira Tozawa last night.
