8 booking steps toward Paige vs. Asuka at WrestleMania 34

Step 7: The Six-Weeks' War

Back to square one.

The following night, Paige insists that Asuka doesn't scare her. Unlike her peers, she doesn't believe the hype. Asuka might be "undefeated," but she's unproven in a match of this caliber while she won a major championship on her debut match and has competed at WrestleMania before, winning both of the matches she's participated in, so she's "undefeated" too.

After saying a few more heel things, Asuka arrives to the ring to intimidate Paige with her smile, but it's short-lived as Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose, who had laid in wait underneath the ring, ambush the challenger, to Paige's delight. After all three women deliver their finishers, Paige mocks her opponent, declaring she'll see her at WrestleMania!

The following weeks can be comprised of numerous back-and-forth affairs. Individual victories by Asuka over Deville and Rose are certain, but during other weeks, Asuka gets more beatings.

Throughout the six weeks between Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania, the onus should be that Asuka is in perfect form, but she can't be considered the favorite against Paige if she has Deville and Rose with her. This is the way to make Asuka the underdog, even though she wouldn't be ordinarily. Another important aspect of the build would be for Asuka to not be able to touch Paige. Every time she gets in close, her Absolution stablemates intervene, creating a desire for a huge payoff.
