Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley is one of the show's featured matches

#7 Carmella vs. Asuka (SmackDown Women’s Championship shark cage match)

Carmella defeated Charlotte Flair for the title in April

Asuka has challenged for the SmackDown Women’s Championship on two occasions in recent months – against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34 and against Carmella at Money In The Bank – but she is still yet to win her first title on the main roster.

“The Empress of Tomorrow” looked on course to defeat “The Princess of Staten Island” at MITB last month, only for James Ellsworth to make his return as an Asuka impersonator, which proved enough of a distraction to help Carmella get the win.

With Ellsworth locked in a shark cage above the ring on Sunday, will he still be able to help the champ retain? Or will Asuka finally become a main-roster title holder for the first time in her career?
