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.
