Monday Night RAW kicked off with a winner hitting the ring, as the Women’s Royal Rumble champion Asuka met up with RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon to discuss which title she’d challenge for at Wrestlemania. Stephanie suggested  that Asuka be patient, as the new Elimination Chamber event that the women’s division would compete in could see current RAW champ Alexa Bliss dethroned before the showcase of the immortals.

While the night looked like it would belong to Asuka, Sasha Banks had other plans. Confronting the undefeated challenger, Sasha Banks had one thought on her mind: To prove that she was ready for Asuka.
