The WWE SummerSlam card is nearly complete, but there is one match left to be announced.
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso – Tribal Combat Match, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor, Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes are the top matches set for the show.
WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez has still not been announced. On Monday’s Raw, Adam Pearce told Rodriguez that she will get a match against Ripley for her title when she is cleared.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted the match is still planned for the show, but the reason for the delay in announcing it is due to WWE needing to clear Rhea.
“We still don’t know the situation with Rhea and Raquel. No [the match is not off], as soon as they clear her. They could clear her the day of the show and throw it in there. There is a time constraint. I was told that part of the reason why some of these matches that were originally earmarked for the show are off is that they have a time limit on the show, which I’m gonna guess is 3 1/2 to 4 hours, and they didn’t want to short-change matches. I don’t know when it will be. They left it open. If she gets cleared, in storyline obviously, storyline cleared they can do the surprise match the day of the show.”
