Who will be next to challenge Asuka?: SmackDown LIVE, Jan. 1, 2019

From WWE.com:

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?

Editor’s Opinion:

No real surprises here. Becky Lynch was named the top wrestler in 2018 by CBS Sports, and for good reason. Her and Asuka should put on a clinic at the Royal Rumble, and I can’t wait to see it!
