Asuka vs. Zelina Vega added to WWE SmackDown
Ahead of challenging for the Raw Women's title at Night of Champions, Asuka will be in action on SmackDown tonight.
WWE has announced Asuka vs. Zelina Vega for tonight's episode of SmackDown. The show is taking place at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina.
Asuka returned to WWE television last Friday and resumed her feud with Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair. A celebration for Belair was being held, but Asuka ruined it by spitting mist into Belair's face.
Belair retained the Raw Women's Championship against Asuka at WrestleMania 39 this April. Both were then selected by SmackDown in the WWE Draft.
The rematch between Belair and Asuka is set for Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, May 27.
