Asuka vs. Naomi for the WWE RAW Women's Championship is a definite possibility based on just how strongly the latter is being booked in the roster, if you stop and think about it. Naomi scored a victory over Asuka to secure a shot at the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships and even had a memorable moment with the eventual winner, Bianca Belair, at the Royal Rumble.
If there are actual plans for Asuka to go heel, then she will need strong and beloved babyfaces to square off against, and Naomi just fits the bill completely. Even if Naomi comes up short on the road to WrestleMania, it will still be a massive step up for the WWE RAW Women's Championship picture.
Naomi is one of the most athletic performers in the roster, male or female, and to be completely fair, she deserves a shot at the WWE RAW Women's Championship for everything she brings to the table.
