I do not think that Nia Jax will be the one to dethrone Asuka, because it is far too soon in her reign to do so. But at Backlash 2020, there could be a twist that none of us saw coming and yes, it could involve Asuka's best friend- Kairi Sane.
So, let's go with the supposition that Asuka is retaining her RAW Women's Championship at Backlash, especially if you consider the amount of heat that's on Nia Jax at the moment for being unsafe in the ring. Once Asuka is done with Jax, she will need new opponents to face off with after Backlash and I do think that someone like Shayna Baszler should wait for a significantly bigger stage like SummerSlam.
So enter Kairi Sane, who could come out to celebrate with Asuka at WWE Backlash, and could mist Asuka right in the face to spark off a new feud.
This makes all the sense in the world because, with The Kabuki Warriors out of the tag team title picture, there's no reason for Asuka and Kairi Sane to remain a tag team.
