Few women in the roster can match up to Asuka, when it comes to working in the ring

Asuka knows a wide variety of styles and can make this match a lot better than it currently is. I'm sure both of the women are thrilled at the chance to work with Asuka. They get to tell a story with two of the best and most talented women in the business.
Will Asuka go on to become the SmackDown Women's Champion at TLC then? Somehow, I don't think that will be the case, because of all the factors and components involved.
