The show must go on. On tonight’s edition of WWE Raw, Lana took on Nia Jax in a match that would be a preview to this Sunday’s Women’s Tag Team Championship match at the 2020 TLC pay-per-view. However, things didn’t go as planned and now there is a slight predicament for Asuka moving forward.
According to a report from WWE.com, Lana will not be competing at this year’s event, due to an attack from Jax and Shayna Baszler, the current Tag Team champions. You can see footage of their match and the aftermath below:
From WWE.com:
The WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions were slated to defend their titles against Raw Women’s Champion Asuka & Lana, but the brutal actions of Jax & Baszler changed the equation. A devastating attack resulted in an injury that has left Lana unable to compete and forced Asuka to find a new partner of her choosing before Sunday’s showdown.
The Empress of Tomorrow & Lana struck gold when first teaming together in impromptu fashion the night after Survivor Series, with the Raw Women’s Champion scoring a roll-up pin on The Queen of Spades for a non-title victory. Lana went on to achieve the unthinkable by defeating Jax in one-on-one action which sparked the outburst from the champions.
Editor’s Opinion:
I’m not sure how this will play out, but I’m not a fan of this at the moment. She had huge momentum, after being the sole survivor at Survivor Series and getting a win against Jax on tonight’s show. Hopefully, it will lead to something bigger for her upon her “return” and will allow her to keep what she has going on.
