#4 Becky Lynch isn't winning the title

It seems clear now that WWE is establishing Asuka as the top dog of the female division on SmackDown Live. Not that Becky Lynch and Charlotte aren't on the same level, but they're clearly being geared up for something different.

With that said, Becky Lynch may have a title shot at the Royal Rumble, but we believe that it's extremely unlikely that she's going to win the championship at the Rumble. Expect either interference from someone to cost Becky or a clean win for Asuka.


#3 They can still do Asuka vs Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania

Admittedly, this is the unlikeliest scenario on this list. It seems like Charlotte is heading to the red brand too, but if you think about it, two singles matches for the women's titles at WrestleMania is the best way to go.

On the SmackDown Live side, if you leave out Becky Lynch, then an Asuka vs Charlotte rematch is the best and biggest bout they can make. There's no doubt that the two women could top their incredible efforts at WrestleMania 34.
