#2 Asuka's downfall

Charlotte locking in a submission move on Asuka

The Empress of Tomorrow was on top of the wrestling world last year when she won the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match. Her 6+ year streak came to an end at WrestleMania 34 when Charlotte tapped her out in the middle of the ring.

This kicked off her downfall, with the likes of Carmella beating the former undefeated Superstar. When Asuka won the SmackDown Women's Title at TLC, it seemed as if another push was on the horizon. This didn't happen though, as she disappeared from WWE TV for a while before being pinned by Mandy Rose on an episode of SmackDown Live.

Last week, Charlotte and Asuka faced off in a match that was scheduled at the last minute. "The Queen" ended up winning the Women's Title and Asuka's WrestleMania dreams came crumbling down.

Fans flocked on social media and blasted WWE for its treatment of Asuka, but nothing came of it and she is all set to compete in the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal this year.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
