As Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said the current plan is to do Liv Morgan vs Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown women’s championship at SummerSlam. 

“Right now, the plan is Liv Morgan and Ronda Rousey at SummerSlam, which kind of surprises me in a lot of ways, especially because they didn’t leave with any heat,” Meltzer stated. “Ronda just hugged her, walked out of the ring, and let her have her moment. They’ve been building for this with Liv Morgan for a while.”
