Bengaluru, January 7: Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch are the hot favorites to win the women’s Royal Rumble match. They are involved in a three-way rivalry with the WWE Raw women’s champion Ronda Rousey for the last couple of months. This heated feud might culminate at the first-ever women’s main event at Wrestlemania 35. But the recent announcement from WWE.com has put that in doubt for now.
Asuka is the current Smackdown women’s champion who does not have any challenger for now. Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Carmella volunteered their name to become the contender to one of the authority figures, Triple H. So he has given an opportunity to each one of them in the upcoming episode. They will collide in a triple threat contest with the winner becoming the confirmed number one contender.
Here’s the announcement from WWE’s official website,
“Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Carmella all staked their claims as to why they would be most deserving to face off against SmackDown Women’s Champion Asuka at Royal Rumble last week. All three Superstars will now get their chance as they’ll square off in a Triple Threat Match this Tuesday night on SmackDown LIVE and the winner will move on to face Asuka for the title in Phoenix, Arizona on Jan. 27.”
