While Becky Lynch’s Championship reign on RAW has now started to grow monotonous, Bayley’s SmackDown Women’s Championship reign is getting more and more interesting with each passing day. Therefore, the creatives preferred a RAW Superstar, Asuka, winning the MITB contract.

It is evident that WWE would like to keep their plans intact for the women’s division of the Blue brand. As a result, the creatives will have Asuka focusing on RAW and setting her target on the Women’s Championship of the Red brand.

Both Bayley and Becky Lynch have destroyed every other contender who has stepped up to them in the last few months. While the SmackDown Women’s Champion has had an entertaining run as a heel so far, Lynch is enjoying her popularity with the WWE Universe as one of the top babyfaces in the entire company.

The only difference is the fact that Bayley is already involved in a budding rivalry with her best friend, Sasha Banks. If a SmackDown Superstar won and cashed in her MITB contract on the ‘Role Model’ of WWE, it would have disrupted the flow of this much-anticipated feud.

On the other hand, Becky Lynch has no compelling feuds lined up for her. It looks like her rivalry with Shayna Baszler will resume at some point in the distant future. That leaves us with the possibility of Nia Jax challenging Lynch for a title match, considering the history between the Superstars.

Hence, it is quite possible that WWE will involve Asuka in the Red brand's women's title picture at SummerSlam which will also set up the perfect way for the RAW Women’s Championship to change hands.
