Asuka made history on Sunday night when she stood victorious following the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match. It was a bold move for WWE to close out the show with the Women’s Rumble, but the event delivered on all fronts with surprise returns, a suspenseful finish and a fearsome challenger earning the right to choose her WrestleMania opponent.

Before Asuka could decide between RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss and SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte, she was interrupted by the debut of Ronda Rousey. Some fans felt Rousey’s debut overshadowed Asuka’s big moment, but now WWE has the chance to build some suspense about who will have to face Asuka on April 8th.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE has already decided that the Women’s Championship matches at WrestleMania 34 will be:
Asuka challenging Charlotte
Nia Jax challenging Alexa Bliss
Asuka and Alexa Bliss squared off on Monday Night RAW just a few weeks ago, with Asuka picking up the win in a non-title match. That could convince Asuka that the RAW Women’s Championship is hers for the taking, but there’s no question that SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte is a higher-profile opponent for Asuka at WrestleMania.
The recent announcement by WWE that the Rumble winner could challenge the champion from either brand adds more credence to the idea that RAW Superstar Asuka will pick the SmackDown Women’s champion as her opponent.
Within the past hour of this writing, Charlotte tweeted a photo that indicates she’s angling for the match against RAW’s most dangerous female competitor.
