WWE confirmed during tonight’s SmackDown broadcast on FOX that Asuka will challenge Bayley for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship as part of this month’s WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view.
This means that Asuka will be pulling double duty at WWE SummerSlam, as she is also scheduled to face off against Sasha Banks for the WWE RAW Women’s Championship.
