Two matches announced for next week’s WWE Raw and Smackdown

Bengaluru, March 1: Two singles competitions have been confirmed for next week's WWE - one of them is a rematch about the title scenario on the Raw women's division, while the second is a fresh match in Smackdown women's division.

The Raw match is just to put a doubt in the fans minds and the other one was much needed as the Blue brand's storylines needed a shift in the gear which is stuck in the title picture only.

For the last couple of weeks, Nia Jax has targeted Asuka with the pledge of getting added to the Wrestlemania title match, which she received at the Elimination Chamber PPV but lost the match after coming up short. Asuka defeated Nia with a clean pin to keep the title scenario as a singles contest for now.

But, the behemoth proved why she is the irresistible force on the flagship show by massacring Asuka for two straight nights. The Empress of Tomorrow suffered the wrath of the Samoan superstar that set up the rematch between this two on next week's episode of Monday Night Raw.

No stipulation has been added to the contest but Nia Jax will get another shot to conquer the undefeated streak of Asuka. If she can is able to do the unthinkable then it is certain that the Raw GM might be forced to give her a championship shot. So from that perspective, the match has become quite interesting.

On the other hand, on Smackdown, the women's championship rivalry between Charlotte Flair and Ruby Riott has been the focal point for quite a long time. So, a fresh match was needed for the other names present on the brand. Some of the fans will be happy to learn that Miss Money in the Bank will be back, next week.

Carmella has been in an on and off role on WWE TV for a while now and this has made her lose any momentum she needs to cash-in her contract. This week, she enjoyed the win by Ruby Riott against Charlotte Flair with another heel, Natalya. Becky Lynch walked by them and wanted to slap Carmella and challenged her for a match.

This was accepted by the Princess of Staten Island to confirm the match. Keeping her off the TV is definitely not good since she is a future champion on the blue brand of the WWE. If she is not utilized in a good manner then she might turn out to be a female version of Baron Corbin who failed to cash in the Money in the Bank contract, successfully.
