#3 Sasha Banks' momentum in WWE

Momentum is the name of the game in WWE and that is exactly what Sasha Banks has going for her right now. In fact, between picking up three straight victories over the last couple of weeks and two of those coming in title defenses, it's pretty safe to say that Sasha Banks is the perfect opponent for Asuka right now.

Of course a lot of fans will probably disagree with that statement, especially with how despised Bayley and Banks are as heels, but their momentum is undeniable. What is also undeniable is the fact that no one on the Raw roster has that same kind of momentum right now, which is why The Boss is really the only option.

In the end, WWE could have gone with Asuka versus Nia Jax one more time and given the feud a satisfying conclusion, but the company seems intent on going in a different direction. Furthermore, The Empress of Tomorrow finally toppled Charlotte Flair on June 22nd episode of Raw, which pretty much eliminates her as an opponent as well.
