The build-up to Becky Lynch's RAW Women's Championship defence against Asuka has been intriguing. The Man has constantly spoken about how she has been unable to defeat the Empress of Tomorrow. Their history dates back to last year's Royal Rumble event.
The two engaged in a tremendous bout before Asuka made Becky tap out. And while the former NXT Women's Champion defeating her Irish rival again could make for a compelling dynamic moving forward, there is more sense in Becky retaining her title especially since we are entering WrestleMania season.
Becky Lynch should walk into 'Mania as the champion, after winning last year's main event. Also, if Asuka wins the belt her tag team with Kairi Sane and the Women's Tag Titles will certainly take a backseat. The Man overcoming her biggest obstacle at the Rumble is a great story, which should be concluded by a great match.
Bigger things are lying in wait for Becky at the Show of Shows, which leads into the excitement surrounding the Women's Royal Rumble Match.
