On SmackDown, WWE held a Triple Brand Battle Royal to determine Bayley’s challenger at SummerSlam. So, who will be challenging for the SmackDown Women’s Championship?
Tegan Nox, Shotzi Blackheart, Bianca Belair, Asuka, Shayna Baszler, Dana Brooke, Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, Nikki Cross, Tamina, Naomi, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott, and Lacey Evans. Hopefully, I didn’t leave anyone out.

Banks and Bayley announced all the competitors. Well, at least, until we got to Asuka. She attacked and the rest of the ladies joined in.
Eliminations came fast and furious. It came down to Nox, Baszler, and Asuka.
The final two were Baszler and Asuka. Baszler looked to get the upper hand, but Asuka reversed the leverage of the clutch. Asuka eliminated Baszler.
