Ronda Rousey is set to defend the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Money in the Bank.

After last week’s Six-Pack Challenge, Natalya emerged as the next contender for the title after winning the match that included Raquel Rodriguez, Shotzi, Shayna Baszler, Xia Li, and Aliyah.

The match announcement was made on Friday night and will be Rousey’s return to a premium live event after not being included on the card for Hell in a Cell.

Money in the Bank was recently moved from Allegiant Stadium to the MGM Grand Garden Arena with the new venue sold out for the show.

Earlier this week, it was reported by SI.com that Roman Reigns is no longer scheduled for Money in the Bank, which was confirmed to POST Wrestling.

The event will air head-to-head in the same market as UFC 276 at the nearby T-Mobile Arena.

Below is the updated card for Money in the Bank on Saturday, July 2nd:
*Raw Women’s Championship: Bianca Belair (champion) vs. Rhea Ripley
*SmackDown Women’s Championship: Ronda Rousey (champion) vs. Natalya
*Women’s MITB Ladder Match: Lacey Evans vs. TBA
