Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka Added To 8/11 WWE SmackDown
A rivalry renewed.
WWE announced that Charlotte Flair will face Asuka on the August 11 episode of WWE SmackDown.
The two women competed in a triple threat match for the WWE Women’s Championship at WWE SummerSlam with Bianca Belair also in the bout. Belair was victorious, pinning Asuka, but she almost immediately lost the title when IYO SKY cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase.
Less than a week after losing the WWE Women’s Title in a Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam, Asuka will reignite her rivalry with “The Queen” Charlotte Flair as the two face off in singles action.
Flair and Bianca Belair challenged Asuka for her title in one of the four main events at SummerSlam, and despite Belair winning that match, IYO SKY cashed in mere moments later and quickly defeated The EST with a moonsault to become the new WWE Women’s Champion.
Now, Asuka and Flair square off in a match that SKY is sure to follow closely and will more than likely have championship implications.
Tune in to Friday Night SmackDown TONIGHT on FOX at 8/7 to see this matchup between two of the greatest Superstars in WWE!
