Tension has been brewing between Becky Lynch and Asuka over the past few weeks. At TLC 2019, the main event saw Lynch and Charlotte challenging Asuka and Kairi Sane in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the Women's Tag Team Championships. The brutal contest ended with The Kabuki Warriors retaining their titles.

At the RAW Christmas special taping last night, Becky Lynch and Asuka teased a match for the RAW Women's title, but the time and place wasn't mentioned by either of the two. Many are speculating that Lynch will defend the title against Asuka at the upcoming Royal Rumble PPV, in a rematch from their classic at last year's show. If we are indeed heading towards this bout, the MSG Steel Cage match could certainly play a major role in advancing this angle.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
