10 Becky Lynch Should Win: To Continue The Dream Run

Becky Lynch was not only the best women's Superstar of last year but also the Superstar of the year, outshining her male counterparts. Completing the most successful year of her career, Royal Rumble will be the first big pay-per-view of this year as well as her first title defense in the new year.

Lynch's dream run commenced with a victory at Women's Royal Rumble, and she created history winning the main event of WrestleMania 35. The Man overcame a number of obstacles to continue the dream run and hence, a win at Royal Rumble will allow her to continue this stupendous journey.

9 Asuka Should Win: To Rejuvenate Herself

There is no denying that Asuka is one of the indomitable names of the women's division in recent years. However, she hasn't been the unstoppable force she once was, owing to her subpar booking in recent years. Breaking Goldberg's unbeaten streak, Asuka made a long-lasting imprint on NXT, where she ended her career without a defeat.

Even after arriving on the main roster, she became the first women's Royal Rumble winner. Given her dominance has waned in the past couple of years, a victory against Becky Lynch would help her to bring back her old self, rejuvenating her character.

8 Becky Lynch Should Win: To Keep The Belt Till WrestleMania

Becky Lynch is already the longest reigning RAW Women's Champion, surpassing Ronda Rousey, not too long ago. With that in mind, she will be aiming to renew her title reign as long as possible, and she would not mind keeping the belt around her waist till the Showcase of Immortals.

Lynch won the red belt at WrestleMania 35, and if she defeats Asuka at Royal Rumble, she might keep it till WrestleMania 36, securing her name as the longest-reigning women's champion in the modern era.

7 Asuka Should Win: Asuka has never won the RAW Women's Title

Asuka has numerous accolades to her name since signing for WWE in 2015. The Japanese sensation has won all the active women's titles in WWE, except for the RAW Women's Championship, which is the most coveted prize of the RAW Women's division.

Asuka held the NXT Women's Championship for a record number of days, while she also won the SmackDown Women's Title in 2018. She currently holds the Women's Tag Team Titles as well. Hence, she could win the RAW Women's Championship for the first time if she manages to defeat Becky Lynch at Royal Rumble.

6 Becky Lynch Should Win: A Dream Match Against Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey, the former RAW Women's Champion, hasn't been around since dropping the title to Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 35. Nevertheless, the possibility of her comeback can't be ruled, especially at a gigantic event like WrestleMania 36.

If Rousey returns to the ring, there is no better way of making a statement than locking horns with Becky Lynch, as the two women had an intense rivalry last year. Moreover, Rousey could take revenge for her previous loss, as Becky Lynch was the first woman to pin Rousey in WWE.

5 Asuka Should Win: To Continue The Feud Till WrestleMania

RAW has a talented pool of women, who are extremely dexterous in the ring, yet very few women can match the skills of Asuka, which makes the Empress of Tomorrow an immense threat for The Man. With that being said, the fans would love to see a lengthy feud between two behemoths of women's division.

A victory at Royal Rumble would allow Asuka stretching the feud till the Show of Shows, which should be the final stop of this feud. A determined Lynch would be more dangerous to win back the title from Asuka, after losing it at Royal Rumble.

4 Becky Lynch Should Win: Becky Lynch is Still Leading The Women's Division

For the past year, Becky Lynch has been the most important name of women's division, taking it to a new height. Being the longest reigning RAW Women's Champion to headlining WrestleMania, Lynch has amassed every record in WWE.

Entering the new year as the holder of RAW Women's Championship, Lynch still one of the colossal names of the women's division. She hasn't lost a singles match since becoming the champion. Given her stature in WWE, Lynch should secure another victory to her name at Royal Rumble.

3 Asuka Should Win: Asuka Could Become The First Women To Stop 'The Man'

As mentioned above, Becky Lynch has been impregnable in her current title reign, and she has crossed every monumental hurdle in her path. With her current momentum, it looks like Becky Lynch needs a special opponent to get pinned, and the special opponent could turn out to be the Empress of Tomorrow.

Facing each other in tag team matches before, Asuka already pinned Becky Lynch, with the help of green mist. Whether Asuka takes the help of the green most again, it remains to be seen. Nevertheless, Asuka could become the first woman to stop the invincible 'The Man' if the former gets the job done at Royal Rumble.

2 Becky Lynch Should Win: Becky Lynch Has Never Beaten Asuka

Becky Lynch has conquered every woman in her career, even Ronda Rousey at the Showcase of Immortals. However, there is still one woman whom Lynch hasn't pinned yet, and her name is none other than Asuka. Therefore, their Royal Rumble fixture will be crucial for Lynch, as she will be aiming to get her first win over Asuka.

Becky Lynch and Asuka collided at Royal Rumble last year, where the latter stood tall, earning a victory. While walking to Royal Rumble this year, Lynch will not only search for her first win over Asuka but also take redemption of last year.

1 Asuka Should Win: Asuka Could Become Double Champion

Asuka is already a champion, as she is the Women's Tag Team Champions, winning the titles along with her tag team partner, Kairi Sane. Known as The Kabuki Warriors, the Japanese duo won the twin belts from Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss last year, and they have been fighting champions.

Since Asuka is already one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions, she will get a golden opportunity of wearing another belt if she beats Becky Lynch at Royal Rumble. Becky Lynch attained a similar feat last year, winning both SmackDown Women's Title and the RAW Women's Title at WrestleMania 35.
