After a chaotic contract signing a month back on Monday Night RAW, Sasha Banks faced Io Shirai on the first night of NXT: The Great American Bash. Asuka sprayed green mist on Banks to cause the distraction and help Shirai win.
The two would then face at the Horror Show at Extreme Rules for the RAW women’s title. The match ended in a controversial manner, however, Banks walked out with the belt claiming she was the champion.
On the following night on RAW, Stephanie McMahon was seen after long. McMahon then setup Asuka vs Sasha Banks with the winner being the true RAW women’s champion.

Asuka is most likely to defeat Bayley and move on to SummerSlam. It will be tricky to see what will happen post the match if Asuka goes over Bayley.
Currently, there are two roads WWE is looking to take. Asuka and Sasha Banks’ rivalry continues with Asuka planning to take avenge Kairi Sane.
The second possibility could be the rivalry ending and the winner then getting into a feud with the Queen of Spades Shayna Baszler.
