Possibility 5: Asuka wins at TLC, Becky wins the Rumble, Asuka vs. Charlotte II
It's again the reverse of the previous possibility, but the Rumble would be far more unpredictable and open-ended. This would be the result that the fans would want, though. That much is for certain!
A Becky loss at TLC would give her her first significant defeat after such a hot streak that she might doubt herself. What better way to bounce back than winning the Royal Rumble match? The Survivor Series match that never happened would then await.

In the meantime, we'll get Asuka vs. Charlotte again at WrestleMania.
Possibility 6: Asuka wins at TLC, Becky and Charlotte both win the Rumble
This would be the wildest scenario of all. If Asuka wins at TLC, then Charlotte and Becky emerge as the two favorites for the Royal Rumble, but without a clear advantage over the other. What if no decision can be reached? What if they both eliminate each other at the same time and get declared co-winners?
Shades of 1994 and 2000 would be present as both can go on from there to challenge Ronda Rousey on April 7th in a triple threat match.
While that would be exciting on the Raw end of things, it would present some problems with SmackDown's title scene, though. The blue brand can afford to lose one of Charlotte or Becky, but not both. Who would go on to challenge Asuka? The current crop of SmackDown talent doesn't seem promising. Might Kairi Sane or Shayna Baszler get called up for the challenge? That would be ideal in this scenario, but it's unlikely to happen. Mandy Rose is the likeliest name to emerge at this juncture, unfortunately, but if there would be anyone to get a good match out of her, it would be the Empress of Tomorrow.
