Summerslam Main Event Confirmed Featuring Brock Lesnar

Carmella was the first one to suffer elimination via a roll-up from Alexa Bliss. Naomi put up incredible resistance but she became the victim of a schoolboy from Natalya. Nattie and Alexa Bliss went back and forth, thereafter until the former name locked in the Sharpshooter onto Bliss to let her tap out. So the SummerSlam match for WWE Raw Women’s Championship will be Becky Lynch vs. Natalya.

The Queen of Harts cut a furious promo saying the following to Becky Lynch, “I’m gonna rip that greasy orange mop off your head” to heat up the environment before leaving the ring. There are no doubts that The Queen of Harts will bring everything she has to steal the title away from The Man.

Becky Lynch did manage to retain her championship at Extreme Rules in a brutal Extreme Rules mixed tag team main event match. Seth Rollins picked up the win on her behalf by pinning Baron Corbin with three Carb Stomps. Unfortunately, he could not defend himself from the wrath of Brock Lesnar, later the night that cut short the couple’s celebration.

We have seen a disappointed Becky Lynch following the main event match as her boyfriend was without the Universal Championship belt. Thankfully, for her, she got rid of the Sassy Southern Belle who reserved the contender’s spot for a long time. With that being said, we have anticipated seeing a new contender for the WWE Raw women’s championship.

New challengers from the WWE Raw roster must have been waiting to get a title shot against The Man. Alexa Bliss could have come back on the hunt for the red-belt whereas there were chances to see a Sasha Banks return on this context, too. In the end, WWE decided to go forward with the veteran name like Natalya since Summerslam will take place in her home-country of Toronto.
