WWE possibly hit their lowest approval rating earlier today. In an Instagram post, the company announced that Asuka will defend her Raw Women’s Championship at Clash Of Champions next week, but against Zelina Vega.

It is clear that the feud will go past Clash of Champions unless Peyton Royce is sent to the doorstep of “The Empress of Tomorrow” next.
