Possible reason for Asuka tapping out Becky Lynch at Royal Rumble

Becky Lynch competed in two matches at the Royal Rumble. She challenged Asuka for the Smackdown Live Women’s Championship, where she was unsuccessful in capturing the title, as she lost via submission by Asuka. However, Becky inserted herself in the women’s Royal Rumble match and was victorious.

 


 

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that this fact could definitely be brought up again in future storylines. After all, Becky tapping out to Asuka was definitely unexpected.

“I’m gonna guess that Asuka tapped her because they want to set up Asuka vs Becky once Becky beats Ronda, but you still have to do some manipulation because Becky would be the Raw Women’s Champion and Asuka would be […] so they could move one of them over.”

So we will have to wait and see when the two will feud again. In the meantime, Becky Lynch has her sights set on Wrestlemania.
