Bianca Belair vs. Asuka Raw Women’s title match set for WWE Hell in a Cell
A Raw Women’s Championship match has been announced for WWE Hell in a Cell.
Asuka defeated Becky Lynch in a number one contender’s match on this week’s WWE Raw episode to earn a title shot at Belair at the June 5 Hell in a Cell event.
As Raw began, a six-pack challenge was announced for a number one contender’s match, with Lynch, Asuka, Sasha Banks, Naomi, Doudrop, and Nikki A.S.H. set to compete. It was announced during the show that Banks and Naomi had left the arena, and the match was changed to Asuka vs. Lynch.
Belair was on commentary during the bout, and Lynch repeatedly tried to bait her into interfering in the match. As Belair jumped on the apron, Lynch tried to use Asuka’s parasol as a weapon, but Asuka spat green mist on Lynch and rolled her up for the pin to become number one contender.
Two matches are official for Hell in a Cell. Here is the lineup so far:
WWE Hell in a Cell, Sunday, June 5, 8 p.m. Eastern time on Peacock & WWE Network —
- Hell in a Cell match: Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins
- Raw Women’s Championship: Bianca Belair (c) vs. Asuka
