Giulia, Lash Legend Set For Final SummerSlam Ladder Match Qualifier

WWE has set the last qualifying match for its SummerSlam ladder match, with Giulia taking on Lash Legend on the July 31 episode of SmackDown to determine who claims the fifth and final spot in the bout for the Interim Women’s Championship.

Four competitors are already locked into the multi-woman title match: Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, and Chelsea Green. Whoever wins the Giulia-Legend qualifier will round out the field, setting up a five-way scramble atop a ladder for interim gold at SummerSlam.

The creation of an interim championship signals that WWE is building toward a unification angle down the line, likely involving whoever currently holds the recognized Women’s Championship. Ladder matches for interim titles carry an inherent chaos factor, and stacking the field with five performers only raises the stakes — and the physical toll — heading into one of WWE’s biggest shows of the summer.

Giulia has been steadily elevated since her move to the main roster, and a decisive win here would keep her positioned as a rising threat in the women’s division. Legend, for her part, has been used more sporadically on SmackDown, so a victory would represent a major push and thrust her into the spotlight of a marquee SummerSlam attraction.

With Stratton, Flair, Cargill, and Green already collecting ladders and title shots on their minds, the qualifier adds one more layer of intrigue to a stacked women’s division that has been reshaping itself all year. Whoever wins on July 31 won’t just be adding their name to a match card — they’ll be inserting themselves into a conversation about who holds power in a suddenly crowded championship picture.

Expect WWE to continue building the rivalry angles among the confirmed participants in the weeks leading up to SummerSlam, while the newly qualified fifth entrant scrambles to establish their own case for walking out with the interim title in hand. The stage is set for a chaotic sprint to the finish, and fans will find out on SmackDown who joins the fray.
