Social media has it all figured out.

Becky Lynch will beat Asuka, avenge her win from last year's Royal Rumble and then move on to a higher-profile match at WrestleMania 36 against someone like Shayna Baszler. What if only part of that is true? What if 'The Man' doesn't beat Asuka outright in Houston?

That'd be a shock, albeit one that'd protect Asuka in the short-term and portray her as wrestling kryptonite for Becky's Superwoman routine. It also might give WWE something to play around with during some post-WrestleMania downtime when they're scrambling around trying to find anything that'll keep fans invested.

A draw, whilst the kind of result that'd play before boos live and have some fans frantically punching their keyboards, isn't out of the question. As surprising as it'd be to see a non-finish to this one, don't rule it out completely.
