#2 Got it wrong: The Empress is missing

The Empress was nowhere to be seen on this week's show.

At TLC 2018, Asuka finally completed her plan that started in January that year, when she became the SmackDown Women's Champion.

A huge win over both Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, this win had been a long time coming, though has seemingly been forgotten by the company.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

With more focus than ever before on the RAW Women's Championship, Asuka has clearly been overlooked.

Never was that more obvious than this week, when Lynch and Flair, who will compete at WrestleMania against Ronda Rousey, spoke of the RAW Women's title, whilst Asuka, the top star on their own brand, was nowhere to be seen, and still has no opponent for the pay per view.

If this happens next week, perhaps the WWE should send out cartons of milk with the Japanese star's face on.
