New WWE SummerSlam match confirmed, new stipulation set

A new Intercontinental title match is official for WWE SummerSlam, and the other IC title bout on the show has a new set of stipulations.

After being postponed for several weeks due to an injury to Dominik Mysterio, AJ Styles will finally get his shot at the WWE Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam set for August 2 and August 3.

A storyline has played out on WWE programming with Mysterio ducking Styles, while Styles has persistently confronted Mysterio in a series of backstage angles to pressure him into defending the title. That came to a head on Monday’s Raw show where GM Adam Pearce made certain that Mysterio was medically cleared, and announced that Styles will get his shot at SummerSlam.

The Women’s IC title will also be on the line at SummerSlam with Becky Lynch defending against Lyra Valkyria, and that contest now has new stipulations attached.

In an in-ring promo segment on Raw, Lynch proposed a stipulation where Valkyria can never challenge for the title again as long as Lynch holds it should Valkyria lose at SummerSlam. Valkyria agreed to the stip, but only if Lynch would agree to a no countout, no DQ matchup, which Lynch begrudgingly accepted.

The updated card for the first-ever two-night SummerSlam:
