SmackDown Women’s Championship Match Confirmed For The WWE Royal Rumble

At WWE TLC, Becky Lynch defended the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair & Asuka in the first ever women’s Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match, and in the end it was Asuka who walked out with the gold.

Ever since Asuka won the title she’s had a target on her back, and Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair & Carmella faced off in a triple threat match to determine the next contender for Asuka’s championship on SmackDown Live this week.

Becky Lynch won the match when she made Carmella tap out to the Dis-Arm-Her.

Lynch will now go on to challenge Asuka for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the Royal Rumble.
