WWE: 5 challengers for new Raw Women’s Champion Asuka
Nia Jax
It’s been just under four years since Asuka walked into NXT TakeOver: The End to defend her NXT Women’s Championship against “The Irresistible Force” Nia Jax. On that night, it took Asuka less than 10 minutes to successfully defeat Jax and walk out as champion with her undefeated streak intact.
Nia Jax was unable to redeem that loss until Survivor Series 2018, when she pinned and last eliminated Asuka to be the sole survivor representing Team Raw. It wasn’t until last night at Money in the Bank that the two even crossed paths again, but Jax could be a devastating threat to the new champion if she chooses to be.
Bianca Belair
While a heel during much of her time in NXT, there’s no doubt that Bianca Belair is now a fan favorite. She’s been proving herself to be The EST of WWE since arriving on WWE Raw, including an impressive victory recently over indie veteran Santana Garrett.
dark. Next. Becky Lynch relinquishing the title was bittersweet
The first time we ever saw these two in the same ring was at Survivor Series 2019 as a part of the 15-woman Triple Threat Survivor Series Elimination Match, but it was only a taste of what they could do together. If WWE Raw wants to invest in new stars and give us fresh matches, there’s just no better choice than Bianca Belair.
