A rematch from SummerSlam will go down on next week's episode of WWE Raw where the Intercontinental Championship will be on the line in a gimmick match between Bron Breakker and Sami Zayn.

After defeating the latter in around just five minutes en route to his first title win on the WWE main roster, Breakker will now go through his first title defense against the former champion in a 2-out-of-3 falls match.

On the latest episode of Raw, Sami Zayn was seen worried, backstage over the aforementioned loss as Jey Uso attempted to cheer him up, saying that he knew that a title rematch would be reserved for him, shortly.

Zayn then revealed that he had already gone to WWE Official Adam Pearce and secured the rematch for next week. The graphic for next week's episode of Raw then announced that it would be a stipulated match.

At WrestleMania XL, Sami Zayn defeated Gunther to win the Intercontinental Championship to end the longest reign with the title. Then at SummerSlam, Breakker spear-ed his way to cause the next mid-card title change from the Raw brand.

Also set for next week is a tag team match where Damage CTRL (IYO SKY & Kairi Sane) will be taking on Zoey Stark & Shayna Baszler in a match that will determine the next challengers for the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles.

During last night's Raw, Damage CTRL's SKY, Sane, and Dakota Kai came out and attacked the trio of Sonya Deville, Stark, and Baszler. In response, the heel trio took out Dakota Kai in a backstage brawl and injured her knee.

Later on the show, Deville came out for her match against Kai but SKY took her place and scored the win for Damage CTRL. Previously SKY and cohorts also saved Lyra Valkyria from a beatdown from Deville's cohorts.

The August 12 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw takes place at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. Alongside the builds for Bash in Berlin, the currently confirmed match card for the episode goes as follows:

• Two-out-of-three falls match for WWE Intercontinental Championship: Bron Breakker (c) vs. Sami Zayn
• Number-one Contender's Match for WWE Women's Tag Team Championships: Damage CTRL (IYO SKY & Kairi Sane with Dakota Kai) vs. Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark with Sonya Deville
