5 things that could happen on RAW next week: Monday Night Rollins

#3 Asuka chooses her WrestleMania title match

WWE is known for treading water, but I don’t think they’ll wait all the way until March 12 (the night after Fastlane) to have Asuka choose which Women’s Championship she will be wrestling for on April 8.

WWE made it clear on RAW this week that Nia Jax would be involved in the Women’s Title match if she beats Asuka at Elimination Chamber, whether Asuka opts for the RAW or SD Live title. That answers the question I had about whether or not they were going to address Ronda Rousey’s interruption at the end of the Royal Rumble PPV.

Asuka never got to announce her choice the way Nakamura got to earlier on in the night, and now she will get that chance. I doubt Nia Jax will end up winning, but I do think that it is quite possible that Asuka will choose the SmackDown Live title.

If she does indeed go that direction, it should happen sooner rather than later in order to allow them enough time to properly build up the RAW Women’s Title match.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
