Jan 10, 2018 at 3:58 PM
With the 25th anniversary coming up and the Royal Rumble hype-ups continuing, the general manager of WWE Raw came up with two big announcements. He confirmed to big matches on a constant basis in the upcoming two weeks of the show. One of them will be a championship match on the monumental 25th anniversary itself.
Last week, Nia Jax was pursued by Alexa Bliss to get help while facing Asuka. It was a first-time matchup between Asuka and Alexa Bliss on WWE Raw where the champion wanted the help from her best friend. But, Nia was busy to visit Enzo Amore who was down with the flu and hence could not be by her side.
But, this week, the tricks appeared to be working. Alexa Bliss continued with her pledge to the monstrous lady who made her presence felt during Asuka’s scheduled match. The former NXT Champion felt a devastating Samoan Drop inside the ring while making her entrance to be down. It was the first time after arriving at the flagship show, Asuka felt the wrath of her opponent.

So, a match between Asuka and Nia Jax was made official on the next edition of WWE Raw that will take place at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. It is going to be the first-ever match between these two strong contenders of the women’s Royal Rumble match. Check out the updates from WWE.com,
“The Irresistible Force” (Nia Jax) made a statement out of the undefeated Superstar all the same when she attacked Asuka in advance of her planned contest. The assault left Asuka writhing in pain on the mat and earned her a match with Jax next week.”

Apart from this, a huge match got confirmed for the WWE Raw 25th anniversary. The Miz was back on the flagship show and targeted Roman Reigns to take back his Intercontinental Championship. While demanding the rematch from Kurt Angle, the general manager could find a better place rather than putting the match on the historic edition of the flagship show.
