This comes after Baszler attacked Rousey during their Women’s Tag Team Championship defence at Money in the Bank, leading to Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriquez pinning Rousey to claim the gold.
The duo have confronted each other on more recent episodes of Raw, with Rousey and Baszler agreeing to ‘fight’ on Monday’s (July 24) show.
Rousey and Baszler both competed in the UFC prior to joining WWE, with Rousey, Baszler, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke previously touted as the Four Horsewomen of MMA.
Other major matches announced for SummerSlam include the Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso Tribal Combat bout, Cody Rhodes vs Brock Lesnar, and Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor for the World Heavyweight Championship.
