Becky Lynch may have been the single hottest superstar in WWE in 2018, male or female. After a hot winning streak, she would turn in the summer of 2018 and unleash a new attitude that we've never really seen out of her.

This led her popularity to soar higher than ever, and it even led her to a SmackDown Women's title win. However, come TLC, she would take on Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a TLC match in the main event. Thanks to Ronda Rousey's interference, Asuka ended up winning the title instead.

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.

Now, Becky Lynch had to earn her opportunity to face Asuka, and this will be the first time they face each other on television. Asuka may be the favourite in some ways, but don't count out The Man.

This has the potential to be an absolute show-stealer at the Royal Rumble, so don't be surprised to see this open the show.
