5 WWE Storylines for Ronda Rousey

#4 Ending Asuka’s dominant run

Could cocky Asuka finally have met her match in the wrestling ring?

On NXT, Asuka has been running roughshod over all her competition and has been consistently asking for new opponents. So much so, that William Regal is bringing legends from the past, like Mickie James, to fight her (and obviously put her over).

One assumes that the same kind of booking will continue when she comes to the main roster. Once Asuka runs through the entire division, as she’s bound to do in almost no time, she could get cocky once again. She could call out anyone at all to come challenge her. Ronda Rousey could then, answer this challenge.

With the right kind of booking, Asuka could look like a credible threat to Rousey, and the match could be built as a big deal indeed. Ronda Rousey’s credentials will add an element of suspense, as to who will go over in the eventual match. Considering that Rousey's bound to be green in the ring, Asuka can carry her for the match’s duration.
