#5 The Empress' original plan for WrestleMania
With so much focus being on the RAW Women's Championship as we head into the show of shows, it should be remembered that the SmackDown Women's Championship is still there.
Currently held by Asuka, the Empress captured the gold in a triple threat TLC match against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, both of whom will face Ronda Rousey for the red brand's title.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the original plan was for Asuka to face Lacey Evans at the showcase of the immortals, though the report states this is now no longer the case.
It's unclear why this rumoured plan was dropped, though it seems likely that Asuka will defend the title against Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville instead, two women she has been feuding with for weeks
