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

#1. For WWE to allow tension to build between Bayley and Sasha

There have been rumors about Bayley and Sasha Banks turning on each other for a number of months, but instead the duo have just become stronger as a team. The two now hold all of the main roster WWE Women's Championships that are available.

The plan may have been for Banks and Bayley to turn on each other a while ago, but the company thought it was too predictable. It was Banks who volunteered Bayley for the match against Asuka on RAW this week because she believed that Bayley would prevent her from having to fight Asuka for the third time.

If Banks loses the RAW Women's Championship at SummerSlam later this month, then technically it could be claimed that it's Bayley's fault since she was unable to defeat The Empress of Tomorrow and prevent the rematch.

This could help build some tension between the two women in the coming months ahead of what would be an interesting split if that's the direction that WWE decides to take with the current WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
