Becky Lynch will get her rematch with Trish Stratus, but it won't be at WWE SummerSlam.
Lynch previously faced Stratus at WWE Night of Champions, and Zoey Stark helped the WWE Hall of Famer clinch the win. "The Man" eventually earned another shot at Stratus by defeating Stark on the July 24 episode.
On the July 31 episode of WWE Raw, Lynch challenged Stratus to face her then and there. WWE official Adam Pearce booked the match, and Stark instantly attacked Lynch to force the disqualification. After th bell, Lynch brawled with Stark and Stratus. The legend hit Lynch with a chair and walked away.

Backstage, Pearce told Stratus that what had happened was unacceptable. She noted that she didn't have enough time to prepare. Pearce responded by telling her she'd have plenty of time to face Lynch next time, as their rematch would be on the August 14 episode of WWE Raw. He pointed out that Stratus would have the home-field advantage, as the show would be in Winnipeg.
