So how long before Charlotte beat Moolah Record? I wonder if the female wrestler are going to get their own show like 205 live at this point?

Also, while its very easy to get angry at booking, Allison Glock's ESPN profile of Charlotte from last year has a beautiful description of wrestling as an art where the wrestlers are just players trying to make the best of what they're given: Without knowing any of them personally, I feel like WWE has a nice balance of people who WANT to break through and achieve so much more and people who are fine with just putting on good matches and people over. Do I want people like Asuka to be booked better? Yeah, of course. But if she's fine with where she's at, so be it. Being happy is what matters.

Charlotte giving props to Asuka, damn. The Queen right there. Probably why I’m not mad at her specifically for this, rather the booking behind this title change. You can't blame a woman for doing the job she's been told to do by her superiors. But you sure as hell can blame the superiors for making her f***ing do it at all.

I don’t think this is anything personal to Asuka, she was just a means to an end here. They would have done this no matter who was champion if the idea is going to be all the Horsewomen with all the gold at the end of WrestleMania. Doesn't make it better. Doesn't make it right. Makes Asuka look like shit and an afterthought. Makes the Smackdown Women's Division look like complete shit, and makes me have zero interest in this match, especially if it ends with yet another fawning over the effing Horsewomen, I'm about as over that as I am the Shield Reunions.

You know what the worst part really is? As soon as the dirtsheets came out that it would pertain to the Triple Threat, everyone was like "They're gonna ruin Asuka for the sake of Charlotte and for the sake of Becky having the biggest moment possible" The worst case scenario paranoia should ACTUALLY BE WHAT HAPPENS, but with the WWE it is what ALWAYS HAPPENS and it's disgusting. Which makes the Kofi storyline much better.

BTW didn't they just have a match to decide who Asuka was going to be facing? What happened with that?

I'd actually been watching SmackDown the past couple weeks and felt a slight twinge of sadness that I missed tonight, but reading this makes me feel like a dodged a bullet. Goddamn this company is just the dirt worst sometimes.

It's like they saw the awful feedback to Charlotte and went " let's insert Charlotte EVEN MORE ,WORK THOSE SMARKS". I still remember when Asuka was out popping Charlotte. All Asuka needed was a solid push and she would a star. Just like another certain girl

Meh. I like it. The woman’s roster isn’t big enough or talented enough for two championships. I hate that this is at the expense of Asuka, but she hasn’t existed since the Rumble, and Asuka vs. Rose. vs. Deville isn’t a Mania match. Flair has pretty much been shoehorned in Mabia, I can’t even think of a decent promo or interaction she’s had with Rhonda this entire time. It’s like Becky is in two fueds they just happening at the same time and will lead to the same match. So might as well shoehorn in another belt.

Ronda is the biggest 3rd wheel ever in their show

Yea in a sense you have to wonder with how blatant they are with making this moment for Becky (and Charlotte/Horsewomen) by extension, will fans not deliver that maximum pop you expect
You're looking at 3 potential celebrations at Mania and 2 before the main event. Kofi if he beats DB will be celebrating with New Day if not the SD roster coming down to the ring. Seth if he beats Lesnar is celebrating with The Shield or at least Roman
The women will have their moment while Ronda scotches her ass out the ring

Yep. This main event is here to make 2 stars and those stars are Becky and Charlotte. Personally, if they go with that Four Horsewomen holding the titles thing to end the show then Bayley and Sasha will at least be elevated through a moment in itself, a little bit so, yeah. Becky and Charlotte are going to be legends after this.

Yep. It'll be CelebrationMania by the amount of celebrations. At least 3 major ones coming from The Four Horsewomen, Shield and New Day. Those 3 factions really, when you think about it, have been running shit these past few years.

Mainly, I just feel bad for Asuka. Sne lost her streak, last year. Maybe she thought winning at TLC was the start of something big. Then they put her over clean against their hottest star. Which went absolutely nowhere. And tonight’s just the icing on the cake. Even if it’s not the case, it’d be only human, to think the company you work for doesn’t really value you.

Hey Asuka, time to head back to Japan. At least you’re respected by the bookers there

I didn’t watch; I was out with a friend tonight. Come home and see this. Yikes.
One way I think they could come out of this to some degree would be to put both titles on the line in the triple threat, give Becky the win, but still count them as separate titles that must each be defended (a la Seth’s dual WWE/US reign in 2015). When she returns to SDL, Asuka, having two big wins already over “The Man,” wants to settle things between them once & for all. Asuka takes back the SDL title, while Becky moves exclusively to Raw. Asuka becomes a leading female star without hurting Becky, and they can keep Charlotte as the foreboding lurker who can cause trouble for either at anytime.
But yeah, not expecting that to happen.

I felt bad for her earlier but then after looking at her accomplishments I stopped feeling bad. I mean she was undefeated for 2 years in NXT, was NXT Women's Champion, didn't lose the title through pin or submission, won the first ever Women's Rumble, won the SDL Women's Title in a TLC match and she made Becky tap out moths ago. Yeah she had a bad hand here but after all of her accomplishments, I'm not that mad anymore. Other wrestlers don't get 1/8th of what she's gained. Given all of what she's done I doubt she cares much.

That’s fair. It’s just this title reign has been so lackluster. And none of it’s her fault. And now she’s left holding the bag.

Asuka's reign was worse than Ambrose's year run US Title reign. She deserved better. Just looked back at the match and I didn't notice before but at the end of the match Charlotte broke character and said "thank you" to Asuka while nodding to her as Asuka nodded back awwwww, not sure if the cameras were supposed to capture that.
