After beating Becky clean and still being crazy over WWE sure used Asuka well these last 3 weeks!
No wonder everyone loves the writing of WWE.

Do you think they should have had Asuka out crowing about beating Becky, thus even further taking the wind out of her sails and making the WM main event less exciting? Asuka is being kept off TV to give fans time to move on from that, no need to make anything more of it.

They haven’t had time for her due to so many things happening and needing progression that they simply haven’t found the time to put her in. Which is weird considering a backstage segment can go a long way, but it’s either that or her acknowledging she beat Becky which would lead to her getting booed.

This is what happens when you try to have an interbrand match with an equal number of participants when one brand has a lot less women than the other. Literally the only option for Asuka at the moment is Zelina Vega and that's probably not any better for her momentum than taking a few weeks off.

To be fair, the only woman on Smackdown that’s free is Lana. She has literally no one to face right now. Hopefully things get better for her at Fastlane (IIconics or Fire and Desire?) and then a clusterf*** at Mania. Asuka is unfortunately odd woman out with all the major names currently busy.

Asuka is being kept off TV to give fans time to move on from that, no need to make anything more of it. Honestly that makes no sense. You can have two over woman at same time. I love Becky and all,but completely killing Asuka moments doesnt help anyone.

Aren't we always going on about "We don't need to see every big star every week so they don't get overexposed?". I mean, I get being frustrated, but it's hard to take that kind of thought seriously when at the same time it becomes panic stations whenever someone like that misses consecutive weeks.

Back to being Afterthought Asuka. Hopefully they go with Asuka/Charlotte at Mania and maybe losing to Charlotte makes for some character progression

I`m not evne asking for a match.But do SOMETHING, Have her get kayfabe injured or someone gets her visa issues,anything.

A week or 2 is fine.But they didnt mention her or the title,for 3 weeks. After a big victory.There is time and ways to do it.Especially when you are the champion.

On top of that, there’s been multiple angles going on during SDL and most of the woman are tied up with the tag titles for the time being. This isn’t some evil scheme to keep asuka down, they just genuinely don’t have time for her. Which sucks, but it is what it is.

No one said is an evil scheme,just that it is bad writing to not mention one of your champions at all. Like Nakamura and Rusev missed this week,chucks , no big deal.This is a little different And they had ONE HOUR for the Man Elimination Chamber Gauntlet. They had time to spare for an appearence

There's an angle there with Lana too. Lana didn't get a chance to be in the Rumble match, she could be pushing for a shot at the title, basically just doing what she's been doing on social media. Have Lana ask Asuka for 1 shot and Asuka agrees, boom, easy match set for Elimination Chamber. Get that garbage Strowman vs Corbin match that I don't even think their own families care about and you got literally all of it fixed!

That isn’t a physical appearance but I’m grateful they at least did that.

I mean, I get being frustrated, but it's hard to take that kind of thought seriously when at the same time it becomes panic stations whenever someone like that misses consecutive weeks. There's an area between overexposed and not being featured at all for several weeks. Even a hype video would have been something. EDIT Looking at the post directly above mine, and they did a video package last week that I completely forgot about. So, I dunno.
