Asuka doesn’t have a match currently scheduled for Summerslam. She is coming off a couple of losses to Carmella at the past few WWE PPV events. Could there still be plans for her at the biggest event of the Summer?
We have a rumor to pass along about Asuka’s potential role at Summerslam.
According to WrestlingNews.co, Asuka is being locally advertised for a match against Carmella on Smackdown Live this upcoming week at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.
If this match does happen on Smackdown Live, the rumor is that it could be the way that Asuka finds her way into the Smackdown Women’s Championship match at Summerslam. This would be similar to what happened on Smackdown Live this past week. Charlotte Flair defeated Carmella, which gave her a spot in the Smackdown Women’s Championship match.
This would turn it into a fatal 4-way match: Carmella vs Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka.
Obviously, this is just a rumor at this point so take with a grain of salt. Asuka already has a decent case for another Smackdown Women’s Championship match based on James Ellsworth’s involvement in her match at Extreme Rules.
How would you feel about Asuka getting added to the match?

Here’s a suggestion for WWE. Stop screwing around with Asuka’s career. You are flatlining her career in a big way. Two losses to Carmella? Really? Having her stunned by the appearance of someone dressed like her only to have that no chin moron Ellsworth poke his ugly mug out from behind that mask, was embarrassing. You don’t do that to a superstar who you allowed to be undefeated for like, EVER! That’s the problem with undefeated streaks in WWE. They last for so long and then when they finally end, it is downhill from there for the talent. Losses start to stack up and then mid-card status is your future. Getting worked over by the likes of Carmella. Pfft! She is an embarrassment for a champion. Not because she’s a heel, but because she legit cannot wrestle and her character is flat out pathetic. And one of her worst character traits is that frigging screeching she does. My God! I just want to throw her through a window after I hear that. And then to double down on Asuka’s downfall by having her lose again to the pathetic Carmella and have it be because of chinless Ellsworth again doesn’t make it ok or acceptable. Get over this Carmella crap and let real talent reign.
If anything it should be a triple threat between Asuka, Becky, and Flair.
