Charlotte Flair and Asuka faced each other on RAW. At the WrestleMania Backlash event, both women were unable to defeat Rhea Ripley as the champion retained her title in impressive fashion. Asuka took the pinfall, but triple threat rules saw Charlotte lose her opportunity as well.

Charlotte looked to establish herself as the next challenger for Rhea Ripley's RAW Women's Championship by trying to defeat former RAW Women's Champion Asuka.

Asuka kept fighting, countering, and stopping everything that Charlotte threw at her repeatedly. Charlotte Flair found herself distracted by Rhea Ripley at ringside, and that proved to be fatal.

She got in the face of the RAW Women's Champion, who stood on the apron after the confrontation. Charlotte brought her down with the big boot, but that gave Asuka the opening she was looking for as she got to pin The Queen.

Asuka needed this win after she lost the title at WrestleMania and took the pinfall at WrestleMania Backlash.
