Page 2 - WWE RAW: 5 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact - heartbreaking news for Superstar's future, major push, Lynch plans (23rd December)

#2 Paul Heyman's plans for Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch cut a remarkable promo last week on RAW, urging Asuka to agree to have a match against her. The reason for this appeal was that Lynch has never beaten Asuka in a singles match and even lost to Asuka and Kairi Sane at TLC.

Lynch had teamed up with Charlotte Flair to take on the Kabuki Warriors at TLC in a TLC match which was won by the current Women's Tag Team Champions. It looks like WWE will be pitting Asuka against Becky Lynch at the Royal Rumble, so expect the two fiery women to begin their feud on RAW.

It was revealed by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Paul Heyman made the call months ago to build towards the direction of setting up Becky Lynch vs. Asuka for the early half of 2020.

It is clear that Paul Heyman had already chalked out this feud long time back, and we will finally see it pick up pace come Monday Night RAW.

Do you think Asuka is the perfect opponent for The Man to face at Royal Rumble?
