WWE Super Show-Down: 8 Last-Minute Rumours You Need To Know

5. Asuka Heel Turn

Going to cheat a bit here as this one isn’t from any sort of reputable source but, rather, our very own Bald Neville, Andy Murray. I have the power to do that though because, and repeat after me, “it’s my f***ing list!”.

In his exact words, “there’s no way they can have the IIconics win without making Asuka and Naomi look like a total pair of total dorks so one of them’s going to have to banter the other one off”. In short, they’re going to want another hometown pop for Royce and Kay, but haven’t built them enough to convincingly go over opponents of this calibre.

A heel turn for Asuka is so badly needed at this stage as well, after handing her first pinfall loss to (an admittedly rapidly improving) Carmella, she’s been treading water at an vital stage of her career. The heel turn they briefly teased against Ember Moon in NXT could just about salvage her 2018.
