Three new matches for SummerSlam have been revealed.
WWE had previously announced a Gauntlet Match on Raw to decide who would challenge Gunther for the world title at the upcoming pay-per-view. CM Punk won this gauntlet on Monday night, earning a shot at the championship.
In another highlight, two Falls matches between Lyra Valkyria and Bayley occurred following Becky Lynch’s victory over both at Evolution 2, where she retained the Women’s Intercontinental title. Valkyria emerged victorious in the latest match, likely securing her final opportunity to challenge for the title.
Lastly, a Triple Threat match for the Women’s World Championship was set up after Naomi won a contract that she cashed in at the All Women’s PPV by defeating both Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky last night.
