5 Reasons why Asuka will challenge Sasha Banks for the RAW Women's Championship at WWE SummerSlam

#2 Revenge for Kairi Sane attack at WWE RAW

Kairi Sane has now left WWE following the backstage attack at the hands of Bayley a few weeks ago on RAW. Sane had already informed the company that she was leaving and returning to Japan but the company had to find a way to write her off WWE TV, and that happened within this storyline a few weeks ago.

The storyline that the company decided to run with is that Sane suffered career-ending injuries following the assault at the hands of Bayley. That information has now unleashed a new side of Asuka who is out for revenge against Banks and Bayley in honor of her best friend.

The Kabuki Warriors are former Women's Tag Team Champions and were the closest of friends throughout their time together in WWE, so The Empress of Tomorrow needs to get some revenge.

While Bayley was the one who attacked Sane, Asuka can make her point by taking back her RAW Women's Championship before targeting Bayley in order to exact the retribution that she deserves.
