During the weekend and through Monday night, there have been a few updates affecting the WWE SummerSlam card. First, it was announced SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day will defend their recently-won titles against The Usos. It will be the third consecutive WWE pay per view where both tag teams compete against each other for the SmackDown tag team titles.

As Top Rope Press reported, Bayley suffered a separated shoulder and was removed from her match against RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss. Two triple threat matches were held on Monday night with each match’s winner scheduled to face each other next Monday night. Tonight, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax won their respective matches and will compete next week to determine the new No. 1 contender to the RAW Women’s Championship.

Also announced during Monday Night RAW was Finn Bálor vs. Bray Wyatt, which was expected following Wyatt’s interference in Bálor’s match against Elias a couple weeks ago and the back-and-forth promo segments. Big Cass will finally have another shot at Big Show at SummerSlam, except Enzo Amore will be locked and suspended above the ring in a shark cage.
