3 potential opponents for Becky Lynch heading into Royal Rumble 2020

Heading into WWE Royal Rumble 2020, Becky Lynch still doesn't have an opponent against whom she would defend her RAW Women's Championship. She stands at a very crucial stage in her title reign, where a poor booking can affect her career going forward.

Following her win against Sasha Banks at Hell in a Cell, Lynch has not defended her title. Charlotte Flair had the fair number of chances to get her hands on the Championship, and the lackluster rivalry against Lacey Evans is also long gone.

So, it's the ideal opportunity for a change, and the superstars in the Raw Women's division need to get down to business and challenge Becky Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship as soon as possible. While remembering that her definitive rival ought to be Ronda Rousey or Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania 36, the challenger can benefit a lot from a feud with Becky Lynch.

Keeping this in mind, here is a list of 3 potential opponents for Becky Lynch heading into Royal Rumble 2020.

#3 Lana

Lana

It was last year when Becky Lynch took Lana's spot in the 2018 edition of the Royal Rumble. With both these Superstars looking for a feud ahead of Royal Rumble 2019, it makes perfect sense for these them to battle it out inside the ring. It not only benefits Becky Lynch with a fresh face fighting for the Championship belt and will also help cement Lana's role inside WWE, aside from her involvment in the Rusev-Bobby Lashley feud.

Lana is involved in a bizarre storyline alongside Lashley and Rusev, which has been garnering people's attention. Becky Lynch's involvement not only helps sell the narrative but also uses Lana's ability as a wrestler. It draws in people's attention towards the feud. It is a perfect match-up for both the superstars and should take place heading into Royal Rumble 2020.

#2 Kairi Sane

Kairi Sane

It is befitting to say that Kabuki Warriors' success as a tag team, has a lot to do with Kairi Sane. She is energetic, athletic and can draw the crowd. The inaugural Mae Young Classic winner and the former NXT Women's Champion has the credentials to challenge Becky Lynch for the throne.

Kairi Sane is widely considered as one of the best wrestlers in the world today. The Pirate Princess is one half of the WWE Women's tag-team Championship. Asuka and Kairi Sane's success is courtesy of their amazing in-ring work and spectacular performances.

Asuka's involvement in the feud is a cherry on the cake. She can play a mentor to Kairi Sane and work together to defeat Becky Lynch and become the WWE RAW Women's Champion. In case of an unfortunate outcome, Asuka can challenge Becky Lynch and make for a brilliant feud going forward.

#1 Asuka

Asuka

At WrestleMania 34, Asuka defended her WWE Championship belt against Charlotte Flair. She lost via submission but won the heart of the entire WWE universe with her in-ring work. Asuka wasn't the same until her recent pairing with Kairi Sane. The Kabuki Warriors comprising of Asuka and Kairi Sane went on to become the WWE tag team Champions.

It is undoubtedly true that Asuka is an elite level performer capable of delivering breathtaking performances. She has never disappointed, and the energy surrounding the arena when she performs is always extraordinary. The Kabuki Warriors successfully defended their Championship belt against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair at TLC.

It makes perfect sense for Asuka to challenge Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship belt. WWE can capitalize on the success of the Kabuki Warriors and bring Asuka back in the title picture again.

Becky Lynch vs Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship at Royal Rumble 2020 sounds incredible and makes perfect sense.
