Asuka won back her RAW Women's Title from Sasha Banks at WWE SummerSlam 2020, and now that particular storyline is a thing of the past. Asuka needs new and strong contenders for her current reign, and WWE fans got a preview of what's in store for future episodes.

Asuka had a backstage confrontation with the Women's Tag Team Champions, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Althogh Nia and Shayna are a team now, let's not forget that both of them are legitimate contenders for Asuka's RAW Women's Title.

Mickie James teased her own position as the next contender on this week's WWE RAW. She is currently embroiled in a feud with Natalya and Lana. But Mickie beat Lana in front of Asuka, who was stationed on commentary last night.

Mickie James' return to WWE has been booked in a cringeworthy way so far. But a potential title match with Asuka implies that there may be good things in store for the veteran soon.

Perhaps the sudden inclusion of so many challengers could lead to a multi-woman battle on WWE RAW in the next few weeks or at Clash of Champions instead.
