Becky Lynch vs. Natalya set for WWE SummerSlam
Natalya is getting a title shot in her home country.
On tonight’s post-Extreme Rules edition of Raw, Natalya defeated Alexa Bliss, Naomi, and Carmella in a number one contender’s fatal four-way elimination match. Natalya will challenge for Becky Lynch’s Raw Women’s Championship at SummerSlam, which is taking place at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on August 11.
After the match, Natalya and Lynch went back and forth on the microphone and ended up going face-to-face. Natalya concluded by saying that she’s going to “kick the living hell” out of Lynch at SummerSlam.
Natalya submitted Bliss with the sharpshooter at the end of tonight’s elimination match. Natalya also eliminated Naomi during the match.
Lynch retained the Raw Women’s Championship when she teamed with Seth Rollins to defeat Lacey Evans & Baron Corbin at Extreme Rules. Brock Lesnar then cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Rollins to win the Universal Championship.
