3 Reasons why Asuka losing to Charlotte was a bad idea, and 3 Reasons why it was a good one

It was not a mistake #3: Asuka isn't as big a star as Ronda Rousey or Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch, "The Man."

While Asuka has her many loyal followers, and vocal supporters on social media sites, the fact remains that both Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey are bigger stars and better money makers than the Empress of Tomorrow.

Lynch has become a modern-day Stone Cold, the antihero of her generation who transcends gender lines and wants to be seen as a wrestler first and foremost rather than just a pretty face. Her merchandise sales are some of the highest in the company.

Ronda Rousey gets the WWE the mainstream media attention it so desperately craves because more press is good press. WWE already knows the hardcore fans who tend to support Asuka are going to watch Wrestlemania; Ronda Rousey helps them lure in the casual fans and even first-timers, who don't watch wrestling but are curious to see how Rousey fares in the main event.

The women's title stage belongs to the biggest stars, and sadly that doesn't include Asuka at this time.

There you have it; three reasons why Charlotte Flair winning the Smackdown women's title was a mistake, and three why it was not. What's your opinion? Please comment and let us know, and as always thanks for reading!
