THE 'PAIGE VS. ASUKA' PLAN

Booking is our passion!

Today we decide to be passionate about the future coming, inevitable war between Asuka and Paige. 

So here is our booking plan about these two. 

STAGE 1: CHASING THE TITLE:

Step 1: Monday Night's RAW / December's Last Week- Paige and the Absolution confronts Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss. Bliss is trying to work her way out with the typical tricks and games, talking how great Absolution are! The Absolution beat her down: Sonya Deville kicks the Goddess in the head, Mandy Rose applied Implant Buster and Paige finished her with PTO (this time), forcing Alexa to tap, desperately. The trio left Bliss on the ring, but before leaving Paige announce the bad news. Next Raw, Alexa will defend her title against the leader of the Absolution! 

Meanwhile, GM of RAW Kurt Angle announced a #1 Contender's Battle Royal, as the winner will face Alexa Bliss at Royal Rumble. 

Matches: Asuka vs. Nia Jax; Paige, Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville vs. Alicia Fox, Sasha Banks & Bayley; 

Step 2: Monday Night's RAW / January Week 01 - Two women's matches. 

Backstage: Paige & Absolution confront Alexa Bliss. 

Segment: Every woman in the Battle royal is presented preparing for it.

MATCH: 9-WOMEN OVER THE TOP ROPE BATTLE ROYAL TO DETERMINE THE #1 CONTENDER FOR RAW WOMEN'S TITLE AT ROYAL RUMBLE

The Battle royal begins. 

Dana Brooke is the first eliminated by Nia Jax. Asuka eliminates Alicia Fox. The Absolution works together fighting with Bayley, Sasha Banks and Mickie James. Nia Jax is working on Asuka, until the rest of the competitors are not joining forces and throwing her out. Mickie is next to go after Asuka eliminates her. Sonya and Mandy eliminates Bayley, then Sasha Banks, after huge battle. At the end Asuka throws Mandy on Sonya and eliminates them both.

WINNER AND #1 CONTENDER: ASUKA

MATCH: PAIGE VS. RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION ALEXA BLISS, TITLE MATCH

The match is dominated by Paige. At the end Alexa Bliss tries to escape the ring, but the Absolution run-in to stop her. Bliss provokes Sonya Deville to attack her and the match ends with DQ win and title retain for Bliss. 

Kurt Angle announce that since Bliss is refusing to compete and provoke a DQ, she will face both Asuka and Paige at Royal Rumble!

Step 3: Monday Night's RAW / January Weeks 02-03 - Backstage confrontation between The Absolution and Asuka. Random matches for both challengers: Asuka against Nia Jax & Sasha Banks, and Paige /w. Absolution/ against Bayley and Mickie James. Alexa Bliss watches all of the matches. The Absolution plays mind-games with Asuka, and Asuka returns the favor -  stalking from the ramp during matches, respectively!

Step 4: Monday Night's RAW / January Week 04 - The Royal Rumble PPV, week. 

Time to signing the contract. The whole women's division is ringside. The Absolution, Asuka and the Champ Alexa Bliss are in the ring. Some trash talking. Alexa is trying to evade the signing, but Kurt Angle is treatening her: 'If you don't sign it, you'll be stripped from you title!'.The contract signing is ending  and a brawl begins, as everyone is attacking everyone. Bliss escape it! 

STAGE 2: A NEW CHAMPION:

Step 1: Royal Rumble PPV - Triple Threat Women's match. Women's Royal Rumble, too.

MATCH: RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION ALEXA BLISS VS. ASUKA VS. PAIGE /W. ABSOLUTION/

Alexa is desperately trying to use every opportunity, every mistake of her opponents. She even performed Twisted Bliss on Asuka! In the end, The Empress locks her Armbar, but Paige interferes, throwing the Japanese Superstar out of the ring. Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose took Asuka out of the equation, distracts her enough so Paige is able to Ram-Paige, Alexa, and win the title!

Asuka is mad! She lays her frustration on Rose and Deville, annihilating them.

Step 2: Monday Night's RAW / January Week 05 - 

Alexa Bliss is asking for an immediate rematch and she got it! 

Match: RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION PAIGE VS. ALEXA BLISS, TITLE REMATCH

The post-match attack from the last week's match is repeating, but this time Paige is simulating her escape from the arena as she ambushing, The Empress and locked her into PTO!

Payback Part 3: Finally Asuka is meeting the Raw Women's Champion Paige, in one-on-one, non-title match.

Before the match: Backstage. Paige kicked the Empress backstage with Side Kick, after Asuka beat down Rose and Deville.

The match: It's pre-main event. Both women work really hard and well, together. The match is full of twists and turns. Paige put a really great stand against the Empress. The match ends in no contest when Rose and Deville interrupted again. This makes Asuka totally frustrated so she beat the hell out of the two Paige's allies, until she is caught and hit with the Ram-Paige, by the sneaky Champion. 

STAGE 3: TOMORROW MAY NOT COME, FOR SOMEONE...:

Step 1: Fastlane PPV

MATCH: RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION PAIGE /w. The Absolution/ VS. ASUKA, TITLE MATCH 

Hard battle for success! Shared domination. A lot of interference and ringside fight.

Step 2: RAW- The following weeks the heat is rising preparing for WrestleMania!
