Rumored Raw Women’s Title Match For Royal Rumble

According to a recent report by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are plans for a Raw Women’s title match between Asuka and Becky Lynch at the Royal Rumble event in Houston on January 26, 2020.

Both competed during last year’s Royal Rumble event, where Asuka retained the Smackdown women’s title against Lynch.

The Observer also notes that Asuka defeating Lynch last year was originally to lead to Asuka challenging her following Wrestlemania, but for some reason those plans were dropped.

It was Paul Heyman’s idea to revive the idea for next year's Royal Rumble.
