Never say never, although it would take decades... The 5-county Asheville metro is already approaching half a million, and Buncombe County itself, where the city is located, is expected to add 60,000 more people by 2030. Fayetteville, meanwhile, is close enough to the Raleigh area for the two of them to eventually sprawl together.
