9. Asuka Vs. Mandy Rose

Asuka's underwritten Women's Title reign will make it to WrestleMania with similarly little fanfare, and more's the pity here based on the overall improvement of Mandy Rose and her former Absolution partner Sonya Deville on SmackDown Live.

The pair were decked by the 'Empress Of Tomorrow' on the go-home show in a split-second attack only marginally shorter than Rose's feud-ender against Naomi, but everything involving the division getting so little time doesn't bode well for whatever awaits them at the 'Show Of Shows'.

If anything, this match calls for another bulldozer job by Asuka, but only because she's still likely to be harmed going 50/50 with anybody. Rose can nary afford the squash, but she'll probably have to take one for the team here ahead of dodging a pinfall loss at the 'Show Of Shows' when she's chucked into the Women's Battle Royal with the rest of the unfortunate sullied bouncing aimlessly on the blue brand.

Winner - Asuka
