Championship Rematch Announced For Raw

Just one night after being beaten clean as a sheet by submission, Zelina Vega will get another championship match tonight on Raw.

Asuka made quick work of Vega at Clash of Champions, beating her clean with the Asuka Lock. After the match, Asuka declared that Vega was not ready for Asuka. This prompted a brief attack from Vega, apparently setting up this rematch. Here is the announcement and official preview from WWE.com:

“Asuka proved Zelina Vega wasn’t ready for her at WWE Clash of Champions, but can La Muñeca maximize a second chance?

The Empress of Tomorrow will defend the Raw Women’s Title against Vega tonight on Raw.

Vega impressed in last night’s battle at WWE Clash of Champions, deftly targeting Asuka’s left arm throughout. But one costly mistake was all the champion needed to apply the Asuka Lock for the submission victory.

With Asuka having competed twice and potentially nursing an injured arm, can Vega capitalize for her first championship gold? Find out tonight on Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network!”

As the preview mentions, Asuka also competed for the SmackDown Women’s Championship last night. As Nikki Cross was unable to compete, Asuka answered Bayley’s open challenge. The match was short as Bayley used a chair for a disqualification but perhaps Asuka is now more vulnerable for her match tonight.
