The Toronto Sun has reported that the WWE SummerSlam match between Becky Lynch and Natalya will now be a submission match. Natayla teased the idea of a submission match last week on RAW, but claimed she won’t issue the challenge because she knew Becky Lynch wouldn’t accept it. Now the Disarm-her and The Sharpshooter will play even more of a factor in the stakes tonight. Natalya was asked for comment via phone from The Toronto Sun and The Queen Of Harts said the stipulation certainly “ups the ante.”:
“There is no doubt that the Disarm-her is a very effective submission, but the thing about the Sharpshooter is that once you’re locked into it, I could break your back, I could break your arms, I could break your legs, I could break a whole bunch of things.
“It’s really, really a dangerous submission. Becky’s submission, I feel like it’s really only effective on someone’s arm. There are so many different body parts that the Sharpshooter works. For me, it’s just as effective, if not more effective, than her Disarm-her. I’ll have no problem getting Becky down. I’m absolutely not going to tap out in Canada. I can tell you that much.”
Wrestling statistician Darren Bongiovanni notes that this will be the first submission match in SummerSlam history.
