An odd decision if you ask me.
Not to take anything away from Asuka as I am thrilled that she is finally getting the recognition and attention that she has deserved for some time. But do we really need for her to be pulling double-duty against Banks and Bayley?
Rhea Ripley was on fire heading into Wrestlemania, and her push looks to have been totally derailed since her loss to Charlotte. How is it that she was not even ENTERED into that tri-branded Battle Royal? And meanwhile, Dakota Kai is challenging Io Shirai for the NXT title? Feels like a placeholder to get through another Takeover.
It's tough enough that Rousey, Lynch, and Charlotte have all left - for various reasons and periods of time - but I think they can do a better job of incorporating more of the large group of female talents that they do have.
