5 early predictions for the Women's Royal Rumble match

#1 Asuka

Asuka won the inaugural women's Royal Rumble match. She went on to WrestleMania 34, where she lost to Charlotte Flair after a fantastic match. Her streak, that had begun in NXT, ended on the big stage. WWE has the chance to rebuild Asuka once again by having her win the Royal Rumble match this year.

Asuka could be a worthy opponent for Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania. Remember how, when Ronda Rousey showed up after the last Royal Rumble match, Asuka and Rousey had their little altercation? It would be awesome to see WWE pay off that story by having Asuka win the Royal Rumble match.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

If Asuka were to dethrone Rousey for the RAW Women's Championship, it could be a brand new beginning for her. I really do think that there's a great run left in Asuka yet.

Who do you think will win the Royal Rumble match?
