The WWE Night of Champions premium live event is quickly approaching and so far several big matches have been announced for the show. Today WWE confirmed that Bianca Belair will be defending her Raw Women’s Championship against Asuka at Night of Champions next week.
Asuka previously challenged Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39, but The Empress of Tomorrow failed to win the gold. Recently Asuka’s rivalry with Bianca Belair has been heating up as Asuka returned to TV last week and confronted Belair when she spit mist in the champion’s eyes.
