Asuka competed in two matches at the Royal Rumble event. She was defeated by Asuka by submission in the Smackdown Live Women’s Title match, but was able to win the women’s Royal Rumble match.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that this fact could definitely be brought up again in future storylines. After all, Becky tapping out to Asuka was definitely unexpected.
“I’m gonna guess that Asuka tapped her because they want to set up Asuka vs Becky once Becky beats Ronda, but you still have to do some manipulation because Becky would be the Raw Women’s Champion and Asuka would be […] so they could move one of them over.”
We will have to wait and see what happens next.
