Bengaluru, August 17: Randy Orton and Riddle vs. AJ Styles and Omos for the Raw Tag Team Championships, is the latest match to be inserted into the WWE SummerSlam 2021 match card.

The official announcement for the match came during the SummerSlam go-home edition of RAW where AJ defeated Riddle in the first hour of the show.

Later, Orton defeated Omos in another singles contest via disqualification as AJ attacked Orton, midway through the match. Orton then suffered a double-team attack until Riddle made the save.

This week’s RAW featured a 2-on-1 Handicap Match with McIntyre competing in a rematch against Veer and Shanky from the August 2 Raw episode. Per the stipulations, Drew would’ve been banned from bringing his sword, Angela, to the ring at SummerSlam if he would suffer a loss at the Handicap Match.

But he won and hence via the reverse stipulation, Veer and Shanky are now banned from being at ringside. Hence, Mahal won't be having his protégés in his corner in this upcoming big match.

In more news from SummerSlam 2021, Eva Marie vs. Alexa Bliss has also been announced for the PPV, earlier the night on Raw.

Marie and her follower, Doudrop have been inserted into a storyline with Bliss and Lilly, for a few weeks now. Bliss defeated Doudrop last week and hence Doudrop apologized to Marie while blaming the loss on Lilly. Marie then sent Doudrop to bring her the Lilly doll from Bliss.

Doudrop gave a visit to Alexa’s Playground and snatched Lilly from Bliss’ hands. Bliss gave a warning to Doudrop that she shouldn’t do that. Doudrop, influenced by Bliss then looked down at Lilly and handed her right back to Bliss. Bliss laughed as Doudrop made her exit.

Eva Marie was seemingly angry with this happening as she promised to take care of the Bliss problem at SummerSlam. On the other hand, Alexa Bliss has promised to put an end to the so-called Eva-Lution of Eva Marie at the Biggest Party of the Summer.
