4 possible reasons why Vince McMahon tricked Asuka before WrestleMania 35

#2 To lift the prestige of Smackdown Women's Title

Asuka as the Champion

There is no denying that the glory of Smackdown Women's Title has fallen significantly in recent months. The RAW Women's Championship has been the focal point of WWE after Royal Rumble, but the most coveted women's title of the blue brand has not received the same limelight. Even two weeks before WrestleMania, there was no opponent for the Smackdown Women's Champion.

Though Asuka was not a tedious champion, her booking was substandard. Since she defeated Becky Lynch, she has been in the spotlight as a champion. Asuka did not defend the title at Elimination Chamber as Vince McMahon's billion dollar company could not find the right direction for her.

Charlotte Flair can put the limelight back on the belt after winning it this week. It has been already the talking point of this week as several fans were displeased with the decision. Moreover, the Queen has won the Smackdown Women's Title thrice, and her previous two title reigns were stupendous. Hence, Charlotte Flair is a trusted warrior of Vince McMahon, and the latter prefers her over Asuka at the Showcase of Immortals.
