2. Asuka vs. Natalya – RAW Women’s Championship Match
As we noted earlier, there were plans for a wrestler to injure Kairi Sane on TV to write her off WWE programming, as her contract is about to expire. That person would then challenge Asuka for the RAW Women’s Championship at SummerSlam.
It was reported that Natalya was originally supposed to injure Sane and face Asuka at SummerSlam, but plans changed after her husband, TJ Wilson, got sick because of which she was told to stay at home. Another reason why she’s been at home is because she was paired up with Lana (who’s also off TV), whose parents and husband tested positive for COVID-19.
It seems like the new plan is for Shayna Baszler to injure Kairi Sane and then challenge Asuka for the RAW Women’s Championship at SummerSlam, as she teased going after them on the RAW after Extreme Rules.
