WWE RAW Women's Champion Asuka may have to look over her shoulder a few times because Alexa Bliss isn't the only opponent hot on her trail. Naomi picked up a major victory over Asuka two weeks ago, and one has to assume that it gives her a shot at the WWE RAW Women's Champion.
Naomi had an incredible showing at the Royal Rumble with the eventual winner, Bianca Belair. She has everything going for her right now, and can definitely have a competitive match against Asuka at Elimination Chamber.

As for Asuka, even though she's been a dominant WWE RAW Women's Champion, she really has not been booked as well as she could have been.
The Champion is only as strong as her challengers, and Asuka has really not had any compelling feuds for the title she has carried in some time.
Asuka vs. Naomi can elevate the prestige of the title significantly, because quality matches of a competitive nature are what this division needs.
