Becky Lynch arrived in the ring and showed a video of all the times she tried to go one up over Asuka but failed in the process. The Man wasn’t ashamed of the fact that she couldn’t get over but wanted to change that soon.

After Lynch made it clear to put an end to this, Asuka arrived to taunt the RAW Women’s Champion in her native language. The Japanese Superstar did not waste much time to seem like the perfect heel to conquer The Man before she was knocked out cold by Lynch.

This was a good segment between Lynch and The Empress of Tomorrow which allowed both women to go another step ahead in their rivalry without getting too physical.

Asuka seems to be getting way too comfortable in her role as a heel, while Lynch seems more determined than ever to remain a fighting Champion.

WWE has done a great job at building Lynch vs. Asuka for the Royal Rumble, and it will effectively keep both women out of the Women’s Royal Rumble match too unless Lynch decides to pull off what she did last year.
