WWE has a huge show coming up for SummerSlam, and it just got a lot bigger. Asuka is the current WWE Women’s Champion, but SummerSlam will see her put to the test in a big way.
It was previously reported that WWE was planning to make a big SummerSlam match announcement for Asuka during SmackDown. Then, the company sent out a tweet to confirm the match hours before the show goes live.
Asuka will defend her WWE Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match. That should see some big action in the squared circle, and give those women a chance to perform on a huge stage.

SummerSlam is slated to go down in Detroit’s Ford Field on August 5th. The event should be a sell-out, and this match will certainly help grab attention. After all, each one of the three women in that match have very passionate fan bases.
Asuka has been a strong champion since dethroning Bianca Belair. Since then, the EST of WWE has teased a bit of a heel turn. SummerSlam could give her a great opportunity for a big turning moment, or a massive babyface victory.
