Asuka won the Tri-Brand Battle Royal on tonight’s episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown to earn a shot at Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at SummerSlam.
The finish saw Asuka eliminate Shayna Baszler to go over.
Asuka will already face Sasha Banks at SummerSlam for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship after beating Bayley on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw.
The Tri-Brand Battle Royal featured Asuka, Baszler, Tamina Snuka, Tegan Nox, Shotzi Blackheart, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Naomi, Lacey Evans, Dana Brooke and Nikki Cross.
WWE SummerSlam is one week from Sunday, presumably from the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.
