Last week, WWE announced that the top 4 female superstars of SmackDown Live, Mandy Rose, Naomi, Sonya Deville and Carmella will collide in a fatal 4-way match. The winner of that match will go on to face the SmackDown Women's Champion Asuka at the Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania 35.
The blue brand's female division has suffered a lot due to the triple threat RAW Women's Championship main event featuring two of SmackDown's top female athletes, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. All of a sudden, the division looks much shallower, and the champion Asuka is left with no credible opponents. WWE was trying to build a rivalry between Asuka and Mandy Rose but the involvement of Sonya Deville has confused the WWE Universe.

However, we are guaranteed to know Asuka's WrestleMania opponent next Tuesday and here are the four possible endings for the fatal-4 way #1 contender's match for the SmackDown Women's title.
#4 Asuka interferes and destroys everyone, leads to a fatal-5 way match at WrestleMania
Thinking practically, there's no female superstar on SmackDown as strong as Asuka. None of the 4 superstars have any sort of momentum heading into this match.
While Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville have developed some issues amongst themselves, Naomi has been losing matches like she is a jobber. Carmella, on the other hand, never returned to the women's division after she entered #30 in the Royal Rumble match. She had been standing in R-Truth's corner since the January pay-per-view. So, it makes sense to have them all challenge Asuka at WrestleMania 35.
A fatal 5-way match for the SmackDown Live Women's title can deliver the goods if booked rightly and the first step in that direction is to have Asuka destroy everyone leading to a multi-woman match at WrestleMania.

#3 Mandy Rose wins clean
The Golden Goddess was rumored to receive a push after Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair's departure from the B show. She received her first ever SmackDown Women's title opportunity at Fastlane but Mandy Rose could not win the championship from Asuka.
However, the WWE Creative may have planned to have her challenge the Japanese superstar one more time at the Show of Shows as she looks the most competent of the 4 female superstars in this match. She has the potential to spearhead the women's division and thus, a clean victory on next week's SmackDown Live will provide her with the right amount of momentum ahead of the biggest match of Rose's career.
Also, Asuka is a face superstar and may need a heel opponent to keep her title on the line. Given that Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville are the only heels in the match, the chances of Rose getting the win are high.

#2 Nikki Cross is added to the match and she wins the whole thing
Nikki Cross made her main roster debut on the UK Special episode of SmackDown Live last year. She gave a tough fight to the then SmackDown Women's Champion, Becky Lynch and even came close to defeating her. However, the Irish Lass kicker prevailed over the Twisted Sister in that match.
Nikki then appeared in the qualifiers for the Women's Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber match on RAW but she failed to make it to the main match. She has been kept off TV as of late.
Given the potential that Nikki Cross has and the rivalry she had with Asuka on NXT, the WWE Universe will not mind a rematch between the two NXT graduates at the Grandest Stage. Thus, it would be great if the Authority adds Nikki Cross to this match and let her win it to earn a mega opportunity for WrestleMania 35.

#1 Mandy Rose pins Naomi while Sonya Deville pins Carmella at the same time
Looking at the recent developments on SmackDown Live, it looks like WWE is planning a triple threat match for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 35 where Asuka will defend her championship against Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. And, the announcement of a fatal-4 way match led to some confusion in the minds of the fans as to how will WWE build this match.
Well, the answer is simple. They will have Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville pin the other two superstars at the same time. The referee will have his focus on any of the two pins and award the victory to the one he had focused on. The other female superstar would then show TV footage to the Authority backstage to earn herself a championship shot.
Asuka vs Mandy Rose vs Sonya Deville is ON!
