Last week, on the 8th August edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Stephanie McMahon made a huge announcement for SummerSlam. An inter-brand Battle Royal would take place to determine Bayley’s next No.1 contender for the SmackDown women’s championship.
While the Battle Royal participants from Raw were The Iconics, Bianca Belair, Shayna Baszler and The Riott Squad, the Blue Brand would be represented by Nikki Cross, Tamina, Dana Brooke, and Naomi.
That’s not all. Even NXT Superstars like Tegan Nox and Shotzi Blackheart were a part of the mix.

At WWE SummerSlam, the Empress of Tomorrow will have to face two competitors.
Banks and Bayley are brilliant performers and the best WWE has to offer.Facing either of them in a match is an uphill task. However, facing both of them on the same night is the next level of difficulty.
With the recent past as witness, The Golden Role Models will definitely have some tricks up their sleeve. With Sasha Banks, the intention is clear for Asuka; she wants to regain her title.
