WWE Royal Rumble 2020: 3 Possible Opponents for Becky Lynch
By Mark Justice
1.) Asuka
From a pro wresting-based standpoint, a match between Asuka and Becky Lynch would blow the roof off the arena. Every time Asuka and Lynch performed inside the squared circle, they never failed to impress and should be no different here. On the other hand, every time they performed inside the squared circle, Asuka always came out on the winning side.
From a business standpoint, just the names of Asuka and Lynch in a match has not only the international appeal but also the drawing power for many pro wrestling fans out there who appreciate bell-to-bell technical, smooth-paced wrestling. As can be evidenced by their SmackDown Women’s Championship match at WWE Royal Rumble 2019, a Royal Rumble rematch between these two juggernauts should get the fans invested as well as steal the show.
From a storyline standpoint, Lynch has made it clear in her backstage interview with Charly Caruso that her one last debt to collect is Asuka. After losing the Women’s Tag Team Championship match to the Kabuki Warriors at WWE TLC 2019, Lynch recalled looking up at Asuka take her championship a year earlier at WWE TLC 2018 and did not take another loss this year very lightly.
As she conveyed to Charly Caruso in that interview, she thought a Women’s Tag Team Championship match against Asuka was ‘the system’ trying to go against her. However, she noticed that the system was actually protecting her own championship reign from Asuka and has made it clear that she no longer wants that protection on the road to WrestleMania.
