Ronda Rousey vs. Shayna Baszler To Be Contested Under MMA Rules At WWE SummerSlam

A stipulation has been added to a SummerSlam bout.

The singles match between Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey at SummerSlam will now be contested under MMA Rules. The stipulation was added to the match after a video package, detailing the past between both women, aired on the July 31 episode of Raw.

The rules of the 'MMA Rules' match are currently unclear. Fightful will update fans when more information is made available.

Rousey and Baszler have been at odds since the Money In The Bank premium live event, where Baszler turned her back on Rousey and cost the duo the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships in a bout against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.

NEWS:

- The current plan to open WWE Summerslam tomorrow is Logan Paul vs. Ricochet. Apparantly the placement is being done in part to assist Paul in getting out of Detroit so he can travel to his brother Jake's fight that same night in Dallas.

- Randy Orton is in Detroit ahead of Summerslam

- Bobby Roode is in town in Detroit for Summerslam. He will be helping out as a Producer and will also be at RAW this Monday in that role. Roode last wrestled for WWE in late 2022 and has undergone several neck surgeries since that time.

- Brock Lesnar has been seen in Detroit ahead of tomorrow's Summerslam PPV.

- A interesting name in The Motor City, since he has been working WWE NXT of late, is Baron Corbin.
