RAW after MITB Preview: Reason for Edge’s return, AJ Styles to feud with former NXT Champion? (May 11, 2020)

#3 RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch set to confront Money in the Bank winner Asuka

Asuka certainly knows what's coming her way

At the recently concluded Money in the Bank pay-per-view, WWE Superstar Asuka ended her night on a high note when she defeated five other Superstars to win the Championship contract. As confirmed by WWE, she will now be confronted by the RAW Women's Championship Becky Lynch on tonight's episode.

'The Man' and Asuka have squared off for the tile once before, which saw the reigning Champion come out on top. It was one of the best title defense of Lynch's Championship reign, and she herself admitted that Asuka is one of the toughest contenders that she has faced inside the squared circle.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Now that both these Superstars are set to come face-to-face once again, we are hoping to see an epic title feud that could probably put an end to Lynch's historic RAW Women's Championship reign.

Their impending confrontation in tonight's episode of RAW has opened room for a lot of speculations. Could Asuka confirm that she will be coming for Becky Lynch's title? Is it possible that she will use the Money in the Bank cash-in to confirm a title match for SummerSlam instead of keeping that as a surprise?

The fact that Asuka has a chance of winning the RAW Women's Championship for the first time in her WWE career makes this upcoming meeting between her and Lynch all the more exciting.

Becky Lynch's historic title reign as the RAW Women's Champion has seen her get the better of almost every other contender in the women's locker room. However, now her title reign has started to get monotonous, and the creatives could now be in favor of this championship changing hands.

And who would be better than Asuka to put an end to Lynch's dominant run that saw her reach the pinnacle of sports entertainment?
