5 key talking points from WWE Raw (19 February, 2018)

#2 Which title will Asuka challenge for?

When Asuka was celebrating her historic win after the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match in January, she was given the choice to challenge for either the Raw or SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 34.

However, Ronda Rousey appeared just as Asuka was about to make her decision and, while it’s been announced that Nia Jax will be added to the Raw Women’s title match at ‘Mania if she defeats “The Empress of Tomorrow” at Elimination Chamber, we still don’t know which title the Rumble winner has set her sights on.

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

WWE’s announcers stated once again on this week’s Raw, which saw Nia attack her Chamber opponent during an in-ring interview, that Asuka will have “a championship match” in New Orleans this April, which opens up the possibility that she could switch to SmackDown Live to take on Charlotte Flair.
