Why Asuka Was Added To The SmackDown Women’s Title Match At TLC

The women of WWE will make history once again when they compete in the first ever women’s Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match at TLC.

Becky Lynch will be putting her title on the line against her rival Charlotte Flair, and she’ll also be defending against Asuka in a triple threat match.

Fightful reports that Asuka is receiving a renewed push due to the reaction she received from the live crowd the night that Becky Lynch announced she had to pull out of Survivor Series due to injury.

Vince McMahon was reportedly caught off guard when Asuka received a huge ovation during the segment, and the fact that Charlotte Flair didn’t get a bigger reaction than the Empress of Tomorrow. That’s when he saw the opportunity to add Asuka to the match.
