– SmackDown Live Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair will officially defend her title against 2018 Women’s Royal Rumble winner Asuka at WrestleMania 34 next month.

Flair responded by saying she’s not underestimating the former NXT Women’s Champion, and she doesn’t think Asuka is underestimating her either:
– After winning the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble this past January, Asuka had her choice of challenging Charlotte or RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania. Bliss took to Twitter to react to Asuka opting to challenge Flair over herself at “The Show Of Shows”:
I knew that @WWEAsuka was a smart girl. Hope you had fun at #WWEFastlane, Empress!
