1. Can Asuka win the SmackDown Women’s title?

Asuka will be facing the Queen and the Man in a triple threat match at TLC this Sunday. The historic match will also be the first ever Women’s TLC match. With the amount of animosity and bad-assery we have seen from Charlotte and Lynch in recent times, expect sparks to fly. Throw in the fury and the intensity that Asuka would bring to the contest and you have all the combustible elements set just right on the table or a ladder, or a chair.

But the big question is who will walk out as the champ when Sunday comes to a conclusion. Will the Man Becky Lynch retain her title that she fought so hard to win? Will the Queen’s newly found dark side help her to regain her throne? Or will Asuka finally banish the demons of her WrestleMania defeat at the hands of Charlotte and win the title for the first time in her career?

Of all the three women, Asuka needs the win the most. Becky and Charlotte are right now on a totally different level when it comes to being over with the fans. But for a red-hot anti-hero figure, Becky would thrive as someone chasing after the title, either against Asuka or even better, against Ronda Rousey. To go into the home turf of the Baddest Woman on the Planet and to potentially challenge her and take her title would be the kind of legacy that Becky Lynch can craft at this point.

Imagine Lynch winning the Royal Rumble and choosing to face Rousey to set up their match that never happened at Survivor Series. That is the kind of moments the most over superstar in the WWE today can create. Asuka on the other hand, can hopefully find that mystique and aura around her character. Becoming the champion is certainly a good way to get to that. Can she do it?
