Asuka has been crowned the number one contender for Bianca Belair's RAW Women's Championship on this Monday's show.
The Empress of Tomorrow recently made her return to the red brand to embarrass Becky Lynch, the woman defeated by Belair for the title at WrestleMania 38. Prior to this, Asuka had not been seen since Money In The Bank 2021, going on hiatus after the event to recover from some injuries.
A six-pack challenge featuring Asuka, Becky Lynch, Doudrop, Nikki A.S.H., and the women's tag champions Sasha Banks and Naomi was announced for Monday's show. However, that changed when Banks and Naomi walked out from the arena.
In the main event, The Empress went one-on-one with Becky Lynch instead, with Bianca Belair present at ringside for the match. The Japanese star was able to beat a distracted Lynch, preoccupied by Bianca Belair, with the help of the Green Mist. She then hit a head-kick on Lynch for the pinfall.
