As we reported earlier this week, this Friday’s SmackDown saw SummerSlam host The Miz make a big match for the Pay-Per-View: Kaitlyn and Dolph Ziggler vs. AJ Lee and Big E. Langston.
Tonight, the WWE made it official, adding the match to the SummerSlam card.
WWE.com included a nice write-up on the match’s buildup, summing up the two converging feuds:
Two of WWE’s most compelling and personal rivalries will be wrapped into one truly intriguing — albeit unorthodox — package when Dolph Ziggler & Kaitlyn take on Big E Langston & Divas Champion AJ Lee in a Mixed Tag Team Match at SummerSlam. With heartbreak, betrayal and deceit being just a few of the underlying themes at play in this messy composite of mentors and protégés, ex-best friends and, yes, even ex-lovers, there is no telling how these four volatile elements will combine when the bell rings on Aug. 18.
The writer also wonders if AJ’s new ally Layla will play a part in the match. We’d say that that’s pretty likely!
SummerSlam takes place a week from Sunday on August 18th.
Are you excited to see this match?
