Asuka, successfully defended her Raw Women’s Championship on Raw this past week in a match that bamboozled fans. Viewers on the flagship show were confused when the referee called for the bell despite the fact that Mickie James didn’t tap out after the submission was applied.
Fans immediately began to question whether the end was called due to an injury for James, or whether it was part of longer story telling by the WWE. Recent rumours have claimed that the decision was made by the referee and that he made a mistake thinking that James was really injured during the match.
WWE News: Could James Get A Re-Match?
The match as a whole was entertaining up until the finish, which means that fans could be treated to re-match at some point down the line. That match could come as soon as next week, and fans wouldn’t be opposed to that.
It’s a pleasant surprise to see Asuka sharing the ring with somebody new, and it could be argued that there are few better dance partners than the legendary James.
However, the aftermath to the match could indicate that the company are going to go in a completely new direction, as Asuka was involved in a stare down with Zelina Vega after the title defence was completed. This will also certainly gain the attention of fans, as they have believed for months that Vega has been underused by the company.
WWE News: Vega To Get Title Opportunity
Fans have already began to speculate online that Vega could get her first ever title opportunity as early as the end of the month at Clash of Champions. Asuka hasn’t currently got an opponent for that PPV, and Vega’s stare down with Asuka after the match would indicate that is the obvious next logical step.
It was a busy night on Raw for Vega, as she also decided to go her own way from the stable that she had built. She revealed earlier in the show that she was not longer going to represent Angel Garza and Andrade, as she wanted to have a crack at singles competition.
All the cards are aligning for this possible feud, and with other stars such as Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler involved in the tag team picture, this could be a huge opportunity for Asuka and Vega to tear the house down at Clash of Champions.
