Asuka and Becky Lynch will close up a year-long story at the Royal Rumble this Sunday. It was not intentional, but everything seemed to work out to provide the illusion of long-term booking.
Some fans have thought that WWE possibly wrote this storyline as a way to make Lynch and Asuka’s story come full circle. During PW Insider Elite audio Mike Johnson confirmed that WWE had no intentions of making this play out in this way. The long-term storyline booking is merely a coincidence.
While she was on WWE Backstage, Becky Lynch said she saw how Asuka had the rug pulled out from under her after WrestleMania. She wants to be a part of building Asuka up as a monster and for their match at the Royal Rumble to tell that story.
“I feel weird talking about the mechanics of things, but I want to make her a monster because that is who she is and I’m doing my best. She’s the one person that I haven’t beat yet. I love that story because it’s a person that I haven’t beat and it’s going into that doubt, that doubt that stopped me from wrestling seven years ago. That ‘can I do this? Do I have the ability to beat this person?’ Am I gonna fight it or am I gonna walk away? Am I gonna run away or will I continue?’ Yeah, she’s phenomenal.”
As noted earlier, Asuka escaped a shooting that happened this evening at the Fashion Show Mall. She’s fine and ready for Sunday’s Royal Rumble PPV.
