#4. Asuka returns to SmackDown to set up a WrestleMania clash?

One-half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Asuka returned to SmackDown after many months and interfered in the opening match. That match, of course, was between Sasha Banks and Bayley against Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross.

If you recall, Bliss called out The Kabuki Warriors last week for a match at WrestleMania 36. We have to remember that it was Bliss & Cross who The Kabuki Warriors defeated in the first place to capture the titles.

Asuka attacked Bliss, allowing Sasha Banks to hit the Bank Statement on Nikki Cross. It was a weird match, not because of any of the superstars, but the idea of an empty audience just began to sink in. Either way, we give props to the women for putting on the best match that they could and Asuka's attack sets up a WrestleMania title defense.

Our big question is as to who else will be involved. Since tag team title matches can get many women on the card, we imagine that WWE would like to go with a Triple Threat or Fatal-4-Way at WrestleMania 36, involving other tag teams as well.
