It’s dawned on me that at the moment Asuka has done something that no other woman on the roster has done: Raw women’s Champion Smackdown Women’s Champion NXT Women’s Champion Women’s Tag Champion Money In The Bank Winner Royal Rumble Winner. Better not figure that out in WWE Charlotte will win the tag titles next week by herself and they will create a MITB just for her. And there still are many who cried Asuka was "buried" ever since being called up to the main roster. Admittedly it took awhile for them to get on board with her after the mania loss to Charlotte. But I do think for the most part the last year, especially the last 4-5 months they have figured out how to use her. The mania 35 thing with her as the champion, it just was a weak storyline with her, Mandy and Sonya that wasn’t getting over. Hurricane admitted it was his fault because he suggested Charlotte beat her and throw the three of them in the battle royal. |

Asuka was never buried, just criminally underutilized considering her talent level. She's just kind of been "there" since the match vs. Charlotte at WM.

Though I do get protective about her loses, I had no issues with Asuka's streak ending at WM. We all knew it had to happen eventually. My problem was, Charlotte did not need the win. At all.
I would rather it have went to someone who needed the jump start, someone nobody would have suspected. I remember I wanted it to be Becky (who wasn't doing much at the time), but someone like Bayley, Ember Moon, or maybe even Nikki Cross would all have benefited greatly. Whomever got that win should have been the next big thing for the women. Charlotte was already there.

The talent differential at that point was too much. |

What’re the chances that Asuka could’ve cashed in last night...?
Actually pinning/submitting Becky.

The talent differential at that point was too much. They really thought they had something there with Carmella, she had a strong fan base with the briefcase and they thought she could gain momentum and turn that into something. They had her beat Charlotte clean and then Asuka twice. I think people just realized Carmella wasn’t as the caliber of Charlotte, Asuka, and Becky and they rightfully busted her back down to a mid card act where she flourishes. |

Unlike anything we ever would have seen before. Even if it was something done safely? I had this thought immediately. Asuka spits a mist (usual green, or even a red) in Becky’s eyes. Becky is on her knees, blinded. Asuka kicks her in the head. Cashes in and applies the Asuka Lock. Becky taps and Asuka becomes the biggest heel in the women’s division. After reading Punk’s thoughts, it seems as though it would’ve been very plausible. No bumps, all selling. |

They have a great wrestler like Cesaro and don't do anything with him.
