Nia Jax To Challenge Asuka For Raw Women’s Title At WWE Backlash, Updated Card

Asuka has a date with Nia Jax at WWE Backlash.

Jax won a triple threat match on WWE Raw to secure a Raw Women’s Championship bout against Asuka at Backlash. Jax pinned Natalya with a Samoan drop in a bout that also featured current NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair.

Charlotte and Natalya tried to team up to take out Jax early in the match, powerbombing her through the announce table. But Jax recovered and managed to fend off both women in order to secure the victory in front of Asuka, who was on commentary.
