So at least Shinsuke recovered some of his heat and has the United States title.
Asuka seems to be quite dead in the water. So we at least finally have a decision on who looks better of the two since the Rumble.
Did anyone envision these state of affairs with these two 6 months later?
One is a mid card champion, the other is still a choker in title matches?

Asuka should have beaten Charlotte at Mania.
Going to be harder for Asuka to get the gold, as the women’s roster is a wasteland between Ronda, Alexa, Charlotte, Carmella, and Nia.

I knew that Asuka was going to go downhill as soon as her streak ended. It always happens: Once you lose a winning streak your 'unstoppable' aura disappears with it and you instantly become just another person on the roster.
That's still no excuse for booking her like the giant f***ing idiot that she currently is, though.

Asuka is the dumbest person in WWE. I wasn't even mad when the streak ended, but she has looked like a complete chump since then.

I was thinking there's no way WWE could botch Asuka being in the title picture, yet here we are. I'm just amazed how they screwed this up.

Asuka should have beaten Charlotte, because right now the situation is one where the streak went to someone who proceeded to lose her title and wasn't even booked on the PPV tonight, so on top of Charlotte not needing the accolade she didn't even do anything with the rub. It's all nonsense and bullshit.

With no secondary women’s title, over women like Sasha, Bayley, Naomi, Becky, and Asuka don’t have shit to do if they’re not in the Women’s title picture. Asuka doesn’t have the luxuary to get her heat back with nothing but “beat up James Ellsworth”.

Asuka is going through her look bad while losing period of her main roster run, ala Shinsuke last year. We just need to be patient to wait for her to turn heel and start punting ladies in the cooch before she can start winning anything half-meaningful.

Nakamura lost 6 world title shots before he won the US Title. Asuka lost 3 thus far and she debuted 6 months after he did. She's still good.

Asuka will get gold when she becomes evil and Mary Sue Charlotte will have to overcome the odds.

She’ll be fine
For some reason WWE wants to keep Carmella going but she will get her time

You could hand WWE a ball dunked in Gorilla Glue and they'd drop it.

They screw up everyone. It's honestly kind of impressive. Especially when they have things practically GIVEN to them, ready to go.

This is not shocking. If you have been watching SD Becky has been racking up a solid streak of wins lately so I figure she is being positioned as the face to take the title at SS. Unfortunately this means burying Asuka 6 feet under. If you told people watching NXT a couple of years ago that once on the main roster Asuka would be jobbing more than once to CARMELLA of all people they would think you were insane. But yeah Becky has to win it. It actually would be a year long build too, going back to the first Women's MITB.
SD's women's division could be fairly good if they, you know, weren't pushing Carmella.

I'm all for Asuka punching Becky in her lady bits and Becky trying to come up with puns as she lies there in pain

I was thinking there's no way WWE could botch Asuka being in the title picture, yet here we are. I'm just amazed how they screwed this up. I think they screwed it up with her debut. We get weeks and weeks of hype about this unstoppable badass and in her first match on the main roster, she gets dominated for most of the match and Cena's her way to a win. Same thing happens the next night on Raw in a rematch. Then Emma is gone from the company 2 days later which makes her dominating Asuka twice seem even more odd. Compared to Asuka's NXT debut, she dominated Dana at Takeover Respect. Has squash matches for 2 months until facing Emma at Takeover London where she shows some vulnerability for the first time. It made sense that way. If you want someone to be an unstoppable badass, then you have to show us that, not tell us. That really is WWE's biggest problem overall. They tell us one thing, but don't actually show us that in action.
