10 WrestleMania 34 Card Predictions After SummerSlam 2017

7. SmackDown Women's Title: Asuka (c) Vs. Becky Lynch Vs. Charlotte Vs. Natalya

Asuka NXT Takeover Brooklyn
WWE

While it'd be nice if WWE booked a bunch of meaningful one-on-one bouts for their women this year, expecting them to do so would be fanciful. 'Mania is all about cramming as many people onto the card as possible, and after diminishing their talented females by making a set of listless multi-person bouts this year, we can expect them to book at least one for New Orleans.

Natalya became SmackDown Women's Champion at SummerSlam, but there's little chance she'll hold the belt all the way to 'Mania. Carmella's Money In The Bank briefcase will likely earn her a run before then, but it shouldn't be long until Asuka hits the main roster, and when she does, she's going to be huge.

'The Empress Of Tomorrow' has been NXT Women's Champion for over 500 days. Her undefeated streak is nearing the two-year mark. She's the strongest pushed wrestler in WWE today, and there's little chance of this changing when she's eventually brought up. The company will likely throw her into an immediate title program, and if she shows up on SmackDown, it's easy to see her carrying the belt into 'Mania, before fending off a chaotic challenge from three of the division's top performers.
