10 WWE Feuds That Must Happen In 2017
3. Asuka Vs. Becky Lynch
While Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon may beg to differ, the SmackDown women’s division is weaker than Raw’s. Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Bayley are all over, while only Becky Lynch really is on the blue brand. That’s why when Asuka is ready for her promotion (which was basically a couple years ago), she needs to land on SmackDown and begin chasing Lynch for the gold.
Just think, Alexa Bliss is the top woman heel on the show. She’s improved during her time on the roster, but she’s nowhere near the league of Charlotte. It’s a huge gap in talent between the brands that is hard to overlook. Asuka would make things a bit more even, and it would also give Lynch a credible opponent to work against for a good portion of the year.
Their matches could potentially rival the work of Sasha and Charlotte, or maybe even surpass it. And if Asuka is not joining SmackDown in 2017 for whatever reason, then a potential Mickie James/Becky Lynch feud could be a great backup plan.
