#2 Is the Empress of Tomorrow the Champion of the future?
Of all the options I'm discussing in this article, this is the match-up I'm most excited about. Asuka and Lynch had a Match of the Year level showdown at this year's Rumble. That was the last time we saw The Man lose clean as she tapped out to a modified version of the Asuka lock.
We saw the seeds planted on RAW two weeks ago that could set up a rematch down the road. Might as well have Lynch-Asuka II at the Royal Rumble. Our Steven Wilson wrote a piece last week explaining why The Empress of Tomorrow is the perfect challenger to dethrone The Man.
I can't say I disagree. Even the greats have that one opponent that just gives them fits. Hulk Hogan lost almost all of the time against the Ultimate Warrior.
That could be a storyline for years to come for Lynch.
Does WWE pull the trigger? I'll give it a 50-50 chance. Asuka could use a big win to solidify herself as a dominant force again. I can't help shake the feeling though that Becky Lynch would still come out on top.
