Banks Can Hold Her Own Against Asuka

Much to the dismay of Banks lovers everywhere, Asuka was the last woman standing at the Royal Rumble match, January. As a result, Asuka was allowed to choose which title she wanted to fight for at WrestleMania 34. She chose her home turf, pitting herself against Team Red.

The discussion became who could fight believably against Asuka, while creating a compelling story.

Bayley could hold her own against Asuka physically, but would have a hard time with the hard feelings. Alexa could slice Asuka with words, but would have issues avoiding a tap out. Banks could handle both aspects, and have fun while doing it.

As if they didn’t have enough to juggle with Rousey, Asuka, and Bliss, they decided to also throw Nia Jax in the mix. It was announced that Asuka would face Nia Jax in a singles event at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, giving the chance for Jax to enter the Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania, if she wins.

If Jax wins the singles match, she will face Asuka and the winner of the Elimination Chamber match in a triple threat match at the big show. Which then begs the question, who could face both Asuka and Jax?

Certainly not Bliss, though the WWE universe has been patiently waiting for Bliss and Jax’s friendship to backfire. If they were looking to definitely rip the title from Bliss and start feuds across the board, letting Bliss and Jax win at Elimination Chamber would do it.

If WWE wants a long-lasting, physically impressive, mentally challenging, full of surprises triple threat or singles match at WrestleMania, they’ll let Sasha Banks win at Elimination Chamber.
