The WWE RAW women's division has not been the same since the departure of Becky Lynch. Asuka has had good matches, she has had solid programs, but she's lacked the star power that 'The Man' brought to the table. In a nutshell, the SmackDown women's division has seemed miles ahead of its red counterpart, with prominent performers such as Sasha Banks and Bayley.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
Meanwhile, WWE has been teasing that NXT Superstar Rhea Ripley (let's face it, she's been ready for some time now) is ready to move to either WWE RAW or SmackDown.
Could we see Rhea Ripley show up on WWE RAW this week and go straight for Asuka and the title she holds, for a future opportunity? She may show up to team up with Bianca Belair, who is clearly one of her best friends (see the Tweet above as proof), to take down Asuka and Charlotte Flair. So many possibilities exist with Ripley (believe it or not, pardon the pun), and the future of the WWE RAW Women's Championship.
