#9 A classic main event

What a match!
What a match!

The women's division on the blue brand has so much depth it puts Raw's entire roster to shame, as WWE really took time to develop each character in this women's division and give them personalities which made them unique. And this week the biggest question in the women's division was going to be answered - who will face Asuka at the Royal Rumble?

The answer to that question was a long hard fought match, which saw Becky Lynch trap Carmela in an armbar to pick up the win. One can not understate the chemistry between Lynch and Flair, as their feud has been one of the best in the entire company so far, and this match showed that if Carmella has a couple of world-class athletes to work with she can perform as well.

From leg drops that cracked a few ribs to counters that will have you wondering, this was a well though the out main event that truly elevated everyone involved.


#10 Asuka gets her biggest challenge to date

This will surely be a Royal Rumble classic

Asuka has been mishandled during most of her time on the main roster, as weak fueds, terrible booking and a lack of competition have ruined her career, but ever since she regained her lost momentum by capturing the Smackdown Women's Championship, it seems like WWE gave Asuka her mojo back.

The cocky but dangerous striker seems more like her NXT self more than ever right now, and her match with Becky Lynch at the Royal Rumble will help continue her hot streak.

Many fans are certain that Asuka will retain her title at the Royal Rumble due to Becky's rumored plans with Ronda Rousey on Raw. Could we see Rousey interfere in this match or even Charlotte Flair? Well, we have to wait and find out, but at least we have this heated clash on the cards.

LMAO. Check out who just called Becky Lynch 'tiny' RIGHT HERE
