Ronda Rousey vs. Natalya set for WWE Money in the Bank

A SmackDown Women’s title match is now set for WWE Money in the Bank.

On tonight’s SmackDown, it was confirmed that Ronda Rousey will defend the championship against Natalya in Las Vegas on July 2. A number one contender’s match was held last week on SmackDown, where Natalya defeated Aliyah, Raquel Rodriguez, Shotzi, Xia Li, and Shayna Baszler in a six-pack match.

This week’s SmackDown had Rousey coming out to discuss the upcoming match, saying that her mom taught her the armbar while Natalya stole the sharpshooter from her uncle, Bret Hart. Shotzi came out and after an argument, the two had a match, with Rousey winning. However, Natalya attacked Rousey after the match, putting her in a sharpshooter, with Rousey refusing to tap out.

Here is the lineup so far for Money in the Bank, which takes place at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas:

• Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley for the Raw Women’s Championship
• Ronda Rousey vs. Natalya for the SmackDown Women’s Championship
• Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, with Lacey Evans qualifying
• Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match
