WWE Royal Rumble 2020: 10 Things That Must Happen

5. Becky Lynch Doesn't Beat Asuka

Expect boos if WWE dare to book a draw between Becky Lynch and Asuka at the Rumble. Today's fans detest non-decisions (even though the product moves fast and is better value than ever thanks to the Network), and Houston will have a problem if it happens here.

They shouldn't. People should roll with it and realise that both women deserve to be protected and can always come back to their epic rivalry later on. The story is reliant upon Becky's inability to best Asuka in huge matches, and that can continue this weekend. Yes, yes it can. Stop rolling those eyes!

Stop it.

Once the pageantry of WrestleMania is out the way, Lynch will need some more challengers not-named Ronda Rousey. Asuka is a fine candidate, so is Shayna Baszler, and she has history with both. A third match between Asuka and Bex at SummerSlam, or perhaps before on a B-level pay-per-view, sounds like fun.
