Forget the match WWE are going to book (The IIconics and Carmella vs. Asuka, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair) for a minute, because Asuka should already have her eye on a rematch with Charlotte and a completely fresh match-up against someone else.

The Flair redo is surely coming by the time SummerSlam rolls around. It has that marquee quality, after all, and it's logical that a competitor like Asuka would want revenge on Charlotte for ending her lengthy win streak at WrestleMania 34.

Before that, she should go head-to-head with another star she saved on the latest SmackDown.

Becky Lynch badly needs something to do on the show. Her skills have been wasted for well over a year now, and it's time she had a competitive rivalry to talk about. In Asuka vs. Lynch, WWE have a solid match they can tick off the bucket list before moving onto bigger things.
