Maaaaaaaaybe not this one.

Asuka looked on top of the world when she won the SmackDown Women's Title back at TLC. It was a great way to end the year for her, and stories of Vinnie Mac giving his Japanese starlet a big ol' hug backstage warmed the heart. Finally, for the first time since her Rumble 2018 win, Asuka was on a roll.

We wouldn't put it past WWE to stomp all over her renewed momentum by having Becky Lynch kick the sh*t out of her at Royal Rumble and take the belt back. Becky is (after all) one of the promotion's hottest stars right now, and there's an argument from some that she shouldn't have lost the title in the first place.

In Phoenix, she might just slap Asuka around and resume her run as 'The Man' around these here parts. Then, she'd march right back into that feud with Ronda Rousey and potentially make history come WrestleMania 35's grand stage.
