At the WWE Royal Rumble PPV, Becky Lynch is all set to defend her RAW Women's title against Asuka. Tonight on Monday Night RAW, Lynch came out to the ring and cut a promo on her opponent, and also reflected back on last year's Royal Rumble event, where The Empress of Tomorrow defeated her via submission.

"The Man" was soon interrupted by Asuka, who taunted Lynch and proceeded to head to the ring. Asuka began speaking after entering the ring, but was almost immediately dropped down by Lynch with a right hand.
Soon after, a fan posted a tweet, stating that Lynch's punch was too weak to bring down Asuka. The same was retweeted by Nia Jax, who has been on the sideline since April. Check out the tweet below:

Am I supposed to believe a weak punch is going to throw down Asuka? Hm okay. #RAW
It's not a secret that Jax and Lynch have been at odds ever since the former threw a punch on Lynch during the buildup to Survivor Series 2018. Lynch's popularity only grew from that point on, and she went on to win the Royal Rumble match and win the first-ever Women's main event in WrestleMania history.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
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.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
