Two Superstars Will Likely Get Their First-Ever WWE Title Shot at SummerSlam

We’re a little over two months away from August’s SummerSlam show, but it looks like WWE has already made up their mind on two huge title matches.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Bruan Strowman will get a shot at Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship at SummerSlam, which is something that we pretty much already knew. Meltzer also said that Nia Jax will get a shot at the Raw Women’s Championship on the show, which is a bit of surprise, given the fact that she’s clearly not ready to be in that spot.

“You could tell when [Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss] did the face off a couple weeks ago on Raw, that was the direction they are going in,” said Meltzer on Sunday’s Live Audio Wrestling podcast. “That may be where the SummerSlam match goes. So, essentially you have Nia Jax challenging for the Women’s Title and you have Braun Strowman challenging for the Universal Title. So, the two that came up together and were pushed in the exact same way are finally getting their big championship matches.”
