WWE needs to give their best at Royal Rumble

#3 Becky Lynch vs Asuka- 2 out of 3 falls match for the SmackDown Live Women's Championship

Becky Lynch has been on a hot streak ever since she turned heel at SummerSlam, 2018. Lynch, who is now known as 'The Man', has been destroying her opponents inside the ring, on the microphone, and on social media as well.

Her recently concluded feud against Charlotte Flair (which apparently is going to continue at TLC as well) cemented the Irishwoman's place on the top of the mountain not only on SmackDown Live but in all of WWE.

At TLC, 'The Man' is going to make her in-ring return, as she gets set to defend her SmackDown Live Women's Championship once again, this time in the first-ever all women's TLC match also featuring former champion Charlotte Flair and 'The Empress of Tomorrow' Asuka.

Now, let us just assume the fact that Becky Lynch successfully makes yet another title defense at TLC and at the same time, 'The Empress of Tomorrow' Asuka also comes agonizingly close to unhooking the SmackDown Women's Championship as well.

From there onwards, WWE could very well lead into a first-time ever match between Becky Lynch and Asuka.

After all, fans have been wanting to that match for a while now and if WWE hopes to make the 2019 Royal Rumble PPV a memorable edition, then Becky Lynch vs Asuka is the match to book!
