When Asuka showed up at Fastlane challenging Charlotte to a match at WrestleMania, many fans were pleased to finally witness this dream match. When Ronda Rousey was announced to debut at WrestleMania, many of her fans were excited to witness that anticipated moment.

But, ever since those moments, WWE have been portraying these badass competitors in a wrong manner. As Asuka has been booked in, as a regular wrestler and, Rousey has made a lesser impact in WWE than most would expect.

This week on Raw WWE continued that odd decision by booking Asuka on the same level as Alexa Bliss, a Superstar who has been presented as a coward for the better part of her reign. Rousey made her presence felt in an awkward showdown against Dana Brooke, after the broadcast went off the air.

Instead, what WWE should've done was book Ronda Rousey's promo time before the Asuka vs Bliss match, as this would've allowed her to have a much more important showdown.

Rousey and Asuka should have confronted each other, and since these two Superstars are not masters of the mic, a simple staredown would've sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe.

As Asuka is the most protected Superstar on the roster and Rousey's video package that aired on the show built her up as the 'baddest woman on the planet'. While no physical contact would've been made, this would've planted early seeds for a marquee match between these two world beaters.
