WWE Royal Rumble 2020: 8 last-minute predictions for the PPV - NXT star wins the Rumble, The Fiend's next challenger

#3 Becky Lynch vs Asuka (RAW Women's Championship)

A compelling story

WWE has told a masterful story between Becky Lynch and Asuka, dating back to their history from 12 months ago. At last year's Royal Rumble pay-per-view, The Man fell short to Asuka, who was flying high as the SmackDown Women's Champion.

Becky ended up winning the Rumble that night, but Asuka stood still. She did nothing and ended up losing her title to Charlotte Flair, in the build-up to the first-ever women's WrestleMania main event. It has taken her this long to return to the main title picture.

The two inaugural female Royal Rumble winners will do battle once again, with Becky very much being the underdog. She has not beaten Asuka in WWE, making this a mountain for The Man to climb before reaching the promised land of WrestleMania.

We cannot see past Becky Lynch winning this, as it completes her story arc with Asuka and moves her on to the Show of Shows, where she will meet the winner of the Women's Royal Rumble Match. If this match comes close to their encounter last year, we are in for a treat.

Prediction: Becky Lynch defeats Asuka after an incredibly hard-fought contest
