In recent news, WWE has confirmed that Bayley will be facing Asuka on the next episode of Monday Night Raw. This will be the first time the two will collide officially since Asuka lost her title to Sasha Banks.

That being said, Asuka will be going in all guns blazing. Bayley made things personal on last week’s episode of Raw.

During Asuka’s title defense against Sasha Banks, Bayley attacked the former’s best friend Kairi Sane backstage. Seeing the footage played on the live screen, she rushed to help her friend.

In the bargain, she got counted out and Sasha Banks would be crowned the new Raw Women’s Champion. Kairi Sane has also left WWE now, leaving Asuka surrounded in a burning room.

We expect only the best on her part. The exciting part of this match is that it will define the storyline conning to SummerSlam.

If Asuka manages to pull off the victory against Bayley, she will get the opportunity to win her title back from Banks at SummerSlam.

Shayna Baszler may also interrupt Asuka and her vendetta

However, if she loses, it’s all over. Bayley herself has been winning. She’s been using her own devious ways, but she’s winning.

The two partners combine in a very effective way to help each other. Asuka will have to watch her back at all times.

Bayley has no danger for her title, but Banks has made big enemies. There is a revenge-driven opponent, but there’s also a tough Shayna Baszler who has her hungry eyes on the belt around Banks’ waist.

We had hoped that Asuka would bring back the character from her days as ‘Kana’ back when she was in Japan. However, that dream seems to be in the background for now.

Asuka can take the opportunity to defeat Bayley to avenge Kairi Sane, and then turn her attention to the cunning Sasha Banks. Raw finally has an exciting fixture, and this match will surely attract a lot of viewers.
