Asuka vs. Becky Lynch for SmackDown Women's Title Set for WWE Royal Rumble 2019

Mark the calendars, wrestling fans—Asuka will defend her SmackDown Live Women's title against Becky Lynch on Jan. 27, 2019.

It was announced on WWE Main Event that the pair will step into the ring at Royal Rumble 2019 at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, according to Joseph Currier of F4WOnline.com.

The card also includes a Braun Strowman-Brock Lesnar match for the WWE Universal title.

Asuka must be on the lookout, as Lynch vowed on Thursday to be even better in 2019:

Now, the countdown to Jan. 27 begins.
