WWE Evolution: 8 Matches That Must Happen

6. Becky Lynch Vs. Asuka (SmackDown Women's Title)

"Nobody is ready for Asuka". Least of all WWE's creative team, apparently.

Since losing her winning run at WrestleMania 34, Asuka has been on a downward trend, and it's slightly worrying. Becky Lynch is someone who knows all about being overlooked by the writers too. It's time to change that by giving these women a much-needed platform to show their similarly gritty in-ring chops at Evolution.

Assuming Carmella drops the SmackDown Women's Title to Becky before October (a change that's on this writer's own personal wish list), it'd make sense to pair her up with Asuka on the card and finally give the ex-NXT stand out her title-winning moment on the main roster over another popular babyface.

WWE should be bold here. There's no need to hold anything back, and it'd be superb to see Asuka and Lynch battle it out in an Iron Woman Match or another stipulation bout. Hell, give them the submission gimmick. There's enough time between now and October to explain why, and they both have trademark holds.
