Asuka and IYO SKY are set to battle at Backlash.

After weeks of back and forth between both sides, Asuka made things even worse on Monday’s episode of Raw, as she attacked IYO SKY during her match with Becky Lynch. This allowed Lynch to pick up the victory, retaining her title in the process.

Later on in the night, a match between SKY and Asuka was announced for the upcoming Backlash event in Tampa, Florida.
