Paige revealed on tonight’s SmackDown that The Kabuki Warriors, Asuka and Kairi Sane, will face WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The IIconics in a non-title match at a WWE live event in Tokyo, Japan next week. If Asuka and Sane get the win, they will earn a future title shot.
We’ve noted before how Asuka and Sane vs. The IIconics was announced for the WWE live event from Sumo Hall in Tokyo, Japan on Friday, June 28. This is likely the match Paige was referring to. Both teams are also scheduled for the Saturday, June 29 event from Sumo Hall, but no match has been announced for Sane, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay. The Saturday show is scheduled to feature Asuka in a Triple Threat with Alexa Bliss and RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch.
Below is a shot from tonight’s SmackDown segment with the two teams:
