– Even though the match was agreed upon over a week ago, WWE has officially set in stone that Ronda Rousey will face Shayna Baszler at WWE SummerSlam. Both women have since agreed to a “fight,” but there is no clear-cut answer as to what that means as of yet.
Former friends, allies, and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler will face off in what is sure to be a personal, hard-hitting matchup.
Their friendship stunningly imploded at WWE Money in the Bank when Baszler attacked Rousey by hitting her from behind, allowing Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to capture the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in the chaotic aftermath.
The Queen of Spades followed that up by verbally assaulting her former partner and lamenting the fact that her own path to WWE was much more difficult than Rousey’s.
In the following weeks, the two Superstars have come to blows on several occasions, and with no hesitation, they agreed to battle at SummerSlam on Saturday, Aug. 5 inside Ford Field in Detroit at 8 ET/5 PT in a one-on-one match for the ages. Don’t miss The Biggest Event of the Summer, streaming live on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
