Asuka .vs. Becky Lynch 'Not Official' For Royal Rumble 2019

It looks like you might have to forget everything I wrote in this morning's post.

In the post, I mentioned that Sky Bet had published a market for a WWE Smackdown Women's Championship match that was plugged on this week's episode of WWE Main Event. The match was set to see Asuka defend her newly-won title against Becky Lynch.

However, a tweet from Paige seems to indicate that the match is 'NOT official'.

Looks to me like there has been a change of plan and the original idea slipped through and made it to the air. 

Either that or the match will be set up on TV when normal service resumes post-Christmas.

I did sense that it was peculiar that the WWE website and Twitter account hadn't promoted the match at all today.

For what it's worth, the market still lists Asuka as a 1/2 favourite. A decision in favour of Lynch remains 6/4.
