WWE.com announced today that Sasha Banks will be defending her WWE Woman’s Championship against Charlotte at SummerSlam. This is a rematch from Monday Night Raw, where Sasha won the title for the first time.
“After a remarkable back-and-forth duel on Raw that left the WWE Universe breathless and resulted in a new torchbearer for the Women’s division, WWE Women’s Champion Sasha Banks and Charlotte are set to do it all over again when they face off in a title rematch at SummerSlam. It was announced on social media that the two Superstars will battle at The Biggest Event of the Summer on Sunday, Aug. 21, reigniting a sensational rivalry that has spanned NXT and WWE. The Boss captured the WWE Women’s Title — a goal of Banks’ since her youth — on the July 25 edition of Raw, bringing Charlotte’s eight-month reign to a close. The astounding bout saw both women pull out all the stops, from Charlotte executing a moonsault to the floor, to Sasha stealing a page from her idol, Eddie Guerrero, and using creative means to get Dana Brooke ejected from ringside. In an emotional post-match interview, Sasha fought back tears as she proudly claimed to be the one and only Boss in WWE.”
