TLC 2019: 4 Reasons why The Kabuki Warriors defeated Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair to retain the Women’s Tag Team Championships

#1 To set up towards Asuka vs. Becky Lynch

Last year at TLC 2018, Becky Lynch walked into the main event as the SmackDown Women’s Champion and put her title on the line against Asuka and Charlotte Flair.Thanks to interference from Lynch’s then-rival Ronda Rousey, 'The Man' lost her title to Asuka. This year, Asuka once again climbed the ladder to defeat Lynch and Flair, and this time retained her Women’s Tag Team Championships.

With this, we’ve seen Asuka gain much more leverage than any other woman in the back on the Red Brand. At a time when RAW is struggling to find suitable competitors to take on Becky Lynch for her RAW Women’s Championship, Asuka is quickly rising to become a potential threat.

By leaving another mark at this year’s event, Asuka could quickly get into the RAW Women’s Championship picture after she loses the Tag Team Championships down the line. This will help Asuka jump from one championship picture to another while becoming a cornerstone on the women’s roster after a well-deserved championship run.

Asuka has been in the waiting for far too long, and it’s time that the company invests in her as much as they have in the Four Horsewomen.
