Asuka is ready for Bianca.
Bianca Belair has been waiting for a suitable challenge for her WWE Raw Women's Championship since defeating Sonya Deville several weeks ago. Now, she has that Challenger as Asuka defeated Becky Lynch on Monday, May 16 to earn the right to face Bianca at the upcoming Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.

The victory was not without shenanigans in front of or behind the scenes. Asuka did not win the match fair and square as she used green mist to line Becky Lynch before pinning her. Behind the scenes, the match was changed from what was supposed to be a Six-Pack Challenge with Becky, Asuka, Doudrop, Nikki ASH, Sasha Banks, and Naomi.
Naomi and Sasha Banks walked out of the show leaving the plans in disarray. WWE issued a statement on their walk out. You can learn more here.
