RAW Preview: Big in-ring return after 6 months, Unpopular babyface to interfere in ladder match? (January 20th, 2020)

#3. Becky Lynch has a final standoff with Asuka

Asuka and Becky Lynch

Last week, the contract signing for the RAW Women's Championship took place. Becky Lynch was as professional as ever, putting over Asuka despite The Empress being nothing but disrespectful.

Kairi Sane even went in and taunted Lynch, trying to irritate her by poking her with her umbrella. The night ended with both women signing the contract to make their match official - as well as Asuka, spitting green mist in Becky Lynch's eyes.

This isn't the first time it's happened to her and knowing Asuka, it probably isn't her last. The numbers game doesn't favor Lynch and Charlotte Flair rightfully has no interest in renewing her alliance with Becky Lynch, choosing to focus on the Women's Royal Rumble and Sarah Logan instead.

Tonight, The Man has one final standoff with Asuka and Kairi Sane, and she's going to have to risk getting mist spit in her eyes again. Either we'll see that, or a generic backstage promo. We'd rather see the two get into an altercation to hype up their Royal Rumble match.

There's already more anticipation than there was for their bout last year, so it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
