Asuka needs this more than anyone.

WWE's first ever all-female pay per view Evolution will take place on Sunday, October 28, 2018, starting at 7 PM Eastern. At Evolution, the likes of Alicia Fox, Asuka, Billie Kay, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Ember Moon, Lana, Mandy Rose, Naomi, Nia Jax, Peyton Royce, Sonya Deville, Tamina Snuka, and Torrie Wilson will all compete in a battle royal.

The winner of this match will receive a women's title match in the near future against Raw Women's Ronda Rousey (or possibly Nikki Bella), or Smackdown Women's Champion Becky Lynch (or possibly Charlotte Flair).

Several women on the roster can benefit from getting such a big win on such a big stage and getting a women's title shot in the future (possibly at Survivor Series or TLC or a weekly episode of television).


#5 Dana Brooke

Dana Brooke has struggled to get opportunities to compete on Monday Night Raw. She was the manager (sorry, statistician) of Titus Worldwide throughout this year. Now that she has broken free from their clutches, she finally has the opportunity to succeed.

Brooke is a natural athlete as she has an incredible amount of athleticism and strength. She could certainly benefit from getting a win at Evolution, and has not been able to get a signature win since joining the main roster.

She has a history with Ronda Rousey since Ronda Rousey laid her out in the build-up to the mixed tag team match between Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, and Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 34 several months ago in March. While this is not a big enough match for a pay per view such as Survivor Series or TLC, it would be great as a match that headlines an episode of Monday Night Raw.

While Dana Brooke should not be given the rub of granting Ronda Rousey her first defeat in WWE, she would benefit from taking Ronda Rousey to the limit with her athleticism.

#4 Naomi

Ever since Naomi won the Women's Battle Royal at WrestleMania, she has done nothing. It seemed like Naomi was being set for a big push after her big victory but it led to nothing. The only thing that she has done was get into a feud with the IIconics (where she ended up losing at Super Showdown).

Naomi needs to gain some momentum if she is going to challenge Becky Lynch in the future. If Becky Lynch defeats Charlotte Flair at Evolution, she is going to need new face challengers in the future.

Naomi can definitely be one of those challengers. Naomi vs Becky Lynch is definitely a fresh matchup and the two can potentially face off at TLC (in the first-ever women's TLC match maybe?). Naomi can definitely benefit from a victory as she will finally be able to have a purpose on SmackDown Live.

#3 Nia Jax

Nia Jax won the Raw Women's Championship from Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania 34. She quickly lost the title back to Alexa Bliss and has not done much since then. Since Nia Jax is such a powerhouse it is not hard to see Nia Jax dominating the field before getting the victory.

She is a pretty good performer and she competed in her best WWE pay per view match when she defended the Raw Women's Championship against Ronda Rousey at Money in the Bank earlier this year. Alexa Bliss abruptly stopped the match by cashing in her Women's Money in the Bank briefcase. Therefore, neither woman was able to get the victory over the other.

If Nia Jax faces Ronda Rousey once again, they would steal the show. The two women can face off at Survivor Series or TLC. They would be a perfect pair for the first ever women's TLC matchup.

#2 Ember Moon

Ember Moon joined the Monday Night Raw roster on the Raw after WrestleMania 34. While she has looked impressive, she has not gotten the big victory that she needs to take herself to the next level. She is one of Raw's best in-ring competitors and performed excellently during the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match earlier this year in June.

Ember Moon would do great as the underdog that no one would think would be able to outlast the likes of Tamina Snuka, Nia Jax, and Asuka. Ember Moon vs Ronda Rousey would be a great match. It would be interesting to see if the dangerous, almost mystical Eclipse will be able to put away the 'Baddest Woman on the Planet'.

Ronda Rousey has been completely unstoppable since making her WWE debut but Ember Moon might actually be the one that can put her reign to an end. Ember Moon deserved to be the one that ended Asuka's undefeated streak.

However, if she ends the streak of Ronda Rousey, that would certainly make up for it. Ronda Rousey and Ember Moon can thrive in the main event spot of an episode of Monday Night Raw.

#1 Asuka

Asuka has had a tough 2018 since WrestleMania 34. Charlotte Flair snapped her undefeated streak at WrestleMania. Since her streak is gone, Asuka is no longer protected from 50/50 booking. She has been defeated by Carmella twice and is no longer treated like the attraction she once was. Asuka has been involved in unimportant feuds with the likes of the IIconics.

However, if she wins this battle royal, she can finally rejuvenate her career. Asuka won the first ever Woman's Royal Rumble match so it's not like she doesn't have experience in this type of matchup.

If Asuka wins she can either face Charlotte Flair in a rematch from WrestleMania and finally get some long-awaited revenge on Charlotte Flair for ending her streak or she can face Becky Lynch at Survivor Series in a dream match. No matter who she faces, Asuka will certainly benefit from winning this battle royal at Evolution.
