Asuka will remain at the top of the women’s division on the blue branded main roster WWE show.
She successfully retained the Women’s SmackDown Title over Mandy Rose at the Fastlane pay-per-view event that was broadcasted to the world on the WWE Network by submission.

It will be interesting to see who will next be in line for an opportunity to challenge Asuka for the strap at WrestleMania 35 on Sunday, April 7, 2019 in East Rutherford, NJ at MetLife Stadium.
There has been a lot of talk online that WWE could be booking several multiple stars in matches and we could get just that involving the SmackDown Women’s Title.
Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view in San Antonio, Texas on September 16, 2018 to win the title, which marked her second reign as champion.
However, she lost it in December at the TLC pay-per-view from San Jose, California when the former NXT Women’s Champion beat Lynch and Flair in the first ever Women’s TLC Match.
