• Reason Behind Asuka Getting A Push Out Of Nowhere

Asuka, who won the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble match earlier this year, hasn’t done much since her first loss in WWE at WrestleMania 34.

However, she recently won a Battle Royal and will now compete in the SmackDown Women’s Championship Triple Threat TLC match at TLC 2018 PPV.

According to Fightful, Asuka is getting this sudden push because Vince McMahon was caught “off guard” when Asuka got a bigger pop than Charlotte Flair during the segment where SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch named her replacement for Survivor Series 2018.

There are some rumors going on that Asuka might win the SmackDown Women’s Championship at TLC 2018, but it’s not confirmed by any means.
