Smackdown Women's Champion: Asuka

Becky Lynch's injury put the SmackDown women's division, which has been the highlight of the main roster for the last few months, into a tailspin. It's hard to know where the championship is going now and it's hard to have any confidence in Asuka as a titleholder after the way she's been treated following WrestleMania 34.

However, the women's division on the blue brand is thin at the moment. The only real top-tier contenders remain Becky, Charlotte, and Asuka, and the former is injured. Perhaps it's in this context that what appears to be Mandy Rose's coming push shouldn't be a surprise, though that still wouldn't make her title-worthy. Even in Vince McMahon's warped world, it's still way too early for her.

Whenever Becky comes back, she'll have few opponents to drop the title to. Perhaps her injury will force her to vacate it.

It doesn't appear likely that Charlotte Flair will be the next champion. Therefore, Asuka emerges through the process of elimination.

Whenever she gets the title, she probably won't reign for long, but she would be the next champion in this scenario.
