5 Legitimate Shockers WWE Could Be Planning For SmackDown Live

#4 Charlotte, Lacey Evans and Nikki Cross slug it out to decide the No 1 Contender for Asuka's SmackDown Women's Championship

Who will face Asuka?

Since most of the female competitors will be locking horns inside the Elimination Chamber to decide the First-Ever Women's Tag-Team Champions, this leaves a handful of female talent to fight for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Asuka is having a good run on the blue brand after the Japanese Sensation defeated Becky Lynch, via submission, and successfully retained her gold.

Considering that she needs a fresh competitor to keep her momentum going, it would be incredible if the creative team push Lacey Evans and Nikki Cross as legitimate contenders.

Nikki Cross certainly possesses all the credentials that would work very well against Asuka. On the other hand, Lacey Evans definitely has an attitude about her that the fans would love to see against the Empress of Tomorrow.

With Becky Lynch now suspended infinitely, this could also be a solid way in propelling Charlotte back to the main event scene.
