Alexa calls her a loser and Asuka loses clean.

I find it amusing that people are so terrified specifically of Raw ruining Asuka and somehow Smackdown would book her RIGHT. As if Smackdown took Charlotte when she had been made into a star on Raw and booked her into oblivion because "But...but what about Natalya and Tamina's fans? We can't book THEM poorly! #GiveALLtheDivasAChance!" Eh I always hated the answer of underused or mishandled Raw talent needs to go on Smackdown to be fixed considering SD poorly manages the midcard, lowercard, and tag teams even during the incredible first few months. But Smackdown has always had the superior women's division giving all women characters and something to do even if it sometimes exemplifies the worst of 50-50 booking. Raw on the other hand is all about let's only book 4 women at a time but let's book a super alpha mean girl heel who will 90% of her matches, will hold the title 95% of the time until the next draft, and will constantly own her opponents on the mic and successfully beat them down each segment. Charlotte was getting serious X-Pac heat from me and other members of the board doing that super dominate mean girl shtick for nearly two years. She needed to turn babyface and get out of the title picture and lose a couple of matches to make her fresh again. Meanwhile Alexa Bliss feels like a palette swap of Charlotte and it's kind of laughable how they make her seemingly dominate when she's one of the least physically imposing women on the roster unlike Charlotte who is one of the tallest, jacked, and one of the most athletic women in the company. Plus being a Flair.

I don't know, it's a palette swap and there were problems, but the fact that Smackdown's women is the perfect example of "If everyone's special, then no one is special" in action makes Asuka worse on Smackdown than on Raw. I'd rather Asuka's first loss come to Alexa Bliss in a Women's Title match on PPV than by Asuka's first loss coming to Lana on a throwaway Smackdown because "Well, we have to make LANA special too, let's give her Asuka's first loss!"

Has the company buried Nakamura really? I don't think they have to be honest. He is in the main event situation on Smackdown and he has beaten John Cena, Randy Orton clean and looked strong against Jinder Mahal only losing by outside interference. I haven't seen any other superstar come right in and get booked like that, Sure the feud with Ziggler at the start wasn't great but he came out of it victorious.
Asuka will be made to be a big deal when coming to either Raw or Smackdown as the Unbeaten streak has been made to be something special. I see Asuka V's Charlotte at mania

Vince: Have Girl Nakamura lose to Girl Ziggler in 4 minutes I wish that was a real quote.

Joe has come out of NXT and he hasn't been made to look a joke either, Some of you guys are thinking the worst case scenario before anything has happened.
I am pretty sure Triple H will have had a long conversation with Vince prior to any of the top NXT guys are brought up to Smackdown or Raw as I genuinely believe he cares about the future of the company whilst Vince seems to just want a quick fix as long as the money is coming in and the ratings are starting to boost. I think Hunter is probably one of the only people backstage that can get through to Vince and I'm sure he will have had a long talk about Asuka's future creative plans before the decision was made to have her relinquish the NXT women's championship.
Anyway I maybe wrong but making assumptions about her main Roster future being destined to fail before she has even been on T.V yet is dumb.

Imagine Asuka dancing or doing comedy matches. Funniest part is all three women dancing are legit great wrestlers. And one's a mma fighter.

He really has no idea how to book NXT talent, and continues to mishandle them. He is also so stubborn that he will never change his plans. IE Charlotte had a PPV win streak they really could have played to Mania and have Bailey act as a giant underdog, but they threw all that away a month prior. So basically every NXT talent should win every match, never lose, and that's how you book them. Makes sense. And go back and look at the reactions to Charlotte's PPV win streak on this forum. There were threads and posts galore saying how stupid it was, that it was contrived and ridiculous and doing nothing for Charlotte nor anyone else. Then it ends and people look back and complain that it should ahve continued. SMH.

I think more people were like "Okay this sucks but if your gonna do it make the end MEAN SOMETHING instead of being underwhelming bullshit" I don't remember a single post like that when the PPV streak was ongoing. It certainly wasn't the sentiment being expressed by most at the time. I remember people complaining about her streak ad nauseum. So WWE ended it, which would seem to be (whether that be the reason or not) a case of giving people what they say they want. And then they complain about that.

My bigger gripe is when they backtrack about said complaining. People were complaining that Jinder is playing role of an evil foreign heel, fair enough, but said people and person started complaining why it doesn't make sense Jinder is now facing Nakamura so he can't be am evil foreigner anymore. Like the f***?

They are more interested in protecting Mr Part-Time Brock Lesnar

Imagine Asuka dancing or doing comedy matches. I saw Asuka at a house show and the whole thing was a comedy match involving her ass. It was terrible. Anyways... when she does lose I'm sure it will be.. ... .... HISTORIC!!!!!
