Royal Rumble 2019 Asuka v Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch is coming back for the crown.

The Irish Lass Kicker will square off against Asuka for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the Royal Rumble event, giving Lynch what could be a final opportunity at the title that helped her ascend to the status of “The Man.” She earned the championship bout in oddly serendipitous fashion, winning a Triple Threat Match against Charlotte Flair and Carmella — the same trio that competed in the SummerSlam title match that catalyzed Lynch’s transformation into a boundary-breaking megastar.

If there was ever a chance for Becky to tap back into that magic, this is it. But she faces a deadly opponent, as Asuka stands fortified by a long, arduous road to the blue jewel, with the opportunity to begin a new legendary reign standing in front of her. The Man tends to come around at the most opportune moments, but is she ready for this enormous challenge?
