This is another reason I hated the idea of the triple threat for the Raw title. They could easily have Charlotte's mad queen stuff work 100 times better with Asuka. Have her snap and destroy Asuka, talking about how she is going to do what Becky couldn't and that is best Asuka. Charlotte gets to go in confident and crazed, while Asuka gets to go into WM with the momentum from tapping out Becky and seeking revenge on Charlotte. Instead Asuka and Smackdown get nothing.

On the one hand, I get the idea of making people want to see others and making sure you don't overuse people and that should be a thing done often. On the flip side...she literally just beat Becky Lynch, the hottest act in the company, clean, by submission, in the middle of the ring in front of the biggest Rumble crowd in years and you have NOTHING for her to do after that? That's potentially star making momentum you're squandering. But I agree with Error's idea that we should have gotten Asuka/Charlotte out of all this and I kind of hope we do still because there's way more intrigue with that match at WrestleMania then what we have now which is "Charlotte's in the match as heel fodder for Becky to win" which is fine but...you don't get the opportunity that often to do a follow up match the very next year with a completely different story to it.

Asuka hasn't done shit with that belt. I'm not putting the blame on Becky and Charlotte, hell even Asuka, but we have a lot of other women on that roster there. You can build Naomi back up, you've got Zelina, you've got Carmella, there needs to be more done with them but considering there isn't we've got Asuka basically pulling a US Champion Dean Ambrose run.
We're still getting Charlotte/Asuka feud except it'll be the SDL women's title post-WM feud. You'll have a super evil Charlotte who's just main evented WM, riding high off that, coming to take the title from Asuka because she's back on SDL and she needs something. Asuka on the other hand can just say "I beat Becky, you didn't" and then that'll be it. In this case Charlotte will be the aggressor as she always is. Asuka is definitely not surviving a Charlotte feud. Not sure how many months it'll take but Charlotte's getting that belt back.
Just nasty. There's more women on SDL than Asuka, Charlotte and Becky. Work with what you got.

I say if Nia is not winning the tag titles and Nia is not fighting Ambrose or another man at WM, then why not her and Auska? Besides Becky, Charlotte, and Rousey, there is nobody else on the main roster who poses a serious threat to Auska. Maybe Bliss...and that's about it.

Yes,that is what I was saying for weeks. Deranged Charlotte was sucha great character. And Asuka is the remainer that she is still the best, she is the one that beat Asuka and yet they think Asuka and Becky are better than her?They could develop her character,but they just went back to the cookie cutter version> Both woman had something to prove: Charlotte that she is STILL the Queen and Asuka that she got her groover back.We could have two matchs were all woman involved gains the most of it.

The idea of Charlotte just forgetting about Becky Lynch, her enemy who’s stopped her from taking her rightful “top stop” and gold standard of the women’s division since September or October isn’t what the mad queen is all about whatsoever. Having her stomach the fact that Becky is in the main event of wrestlemania and just randomly take her aggression out on asuka and go after the belt doesn’t make a lick of sense at all.
The Mad Queen character arch is all about how her best friend, the one who stabbed her in the back, is at the top of the women’s division. Both in popularity and in momentum. Charlotte can’t stand that. No matter how good she tried to act, she couldn’t stomach the fact that someone else was taking her place at the top of the mountain and the title scenes. She’ll do anything to make sure Becky stays in her shadow where she belongs, and that includes making a deal with Vince or whoever.

That storyline will be finished at WM when Becky beats her and Becky's shipped off to Raw where Charlotte can't see her anymore. Afterwards all Charlotte will have is SDL and Asuka which will cause her to lash out on Asuka as the aggressor. Given she's fallen off at the biggest stage of them all, she'll be distraught to unseen levels. Even right now in the current storyline Charlotte's using her privilege to be thrown into the main event and replace Becky so you gotta get that out of the way first. It doesn't make any sense for Charlotte to go after Asuka right now especially given Asuka's just not as poppin as the Raw Women's Title program.
Unhinged Angry Distraught Queen Charlotte is going to be a heel of an arc. I can't wait.

Hardest pass on Alexa vs. Asuka at WM.

Work with what you got. In fairness, her title matches with Naomi and (especially) Becky were at least better than anything Dean ever did with the US title.

It would be easy to come up with a story where Charlotte is blocked from getting into the Becky/Ronda match. WWE’s insistence that it needs to happen is not an excuse that they’re aren’t any alternative options. Character motivations don’t carry much weight if the boss says “no.” Basically this specifically is not a excuse as to why it wouldn’t make sense to go down a different path.

I mean Asuka only made "The Man" just tap the f*** out, and should have a good case for challenging Rousey herself.
Asuka has an old score to settle with Charlotte, an old rivalry with Ember Moon, and had a "who the f*** do you think are" moment with Ronda at last year's Rumble that they've since ignored. Hell, I'd even be fine with a Asuka/Sasha match, but then that means Sasha's not in the tag title picture.
It's like they aren't even trying with Asuka.
