The women have done it again as Becky Lynch and Asuka main evented the July 4 episode of WWE Raw. This time with a stipulation. A No Holds Barred bout took place just two days after both women put their bodies on the line in a Money in the Bank ladder match.
It has been two months since Asuka made her return to Raw from her hiatus and ever since the moment she stepped back in the ring she has vowed to halt Lynch’s rise back to the Raw Women’s Title. She has been very successful in keeping Lynch away from the gold ever since. Despite a win in May where Lynch was able to get a win against Asuka, it has been the Empress keeping Lynch down and out. Finally, Lynch was able to feel vindicated against her current rival.
The final moments of the match had Lynch come crash down with Asuka through a table as she delivered the ManHandle Slam from the second rope.
Asuka and Lynch along with the rest of the women’s Raw division have been main eventing Raw consistently, weekly, ever since Asuka’s return. Now that Lynch has secured this big win, she will undoubtedly be wanting back in the title picture, however, she isn’t the only one.
Earlier in the night, Carmella made claims that she still had the champion Bianca Belair in her mind after her loss at Money in the Bank. Alexa Bliss was also caught backstage in an interview where she admittedly said it has been far too long since she has had gold around her waist. And let’s not forget Asuka who interrupted Bliss claiming she is still wanting to become Raw Women’s Champion.
With the Raw women’s division hot as ever, who will end up facing Bianca Belair at SummerSlam on July 30?
