The women’s division is heating up with a six-woman tag team bout pitting Lyra Valkyria, Kayden Carter, Katana Chance, Sonya Deville, Zoey Stark, and Shayna Baszler. The outcome of this match will have a big impact on the women’s division moving into SummerSlam.

Xavier Woods has had a difficult few weeks, particularly following his loss in a six-man tag team match last week. His search for redemption puts him face to face with Karrion Kross. This tale is important because it demonstrates Woods’ desire to overcome difficulties and restore his position.
However, the impending danger of the Authors of Pain (AOP) adds an element of uncertainty. Will Woods win, or will AOP’s involvement undermine his redemption story, resulting in a more personal feud?
