Asuka vs. Shayna Baszler is a much bigger match than Shayna Baszler vs. Kairi Sane. Whether or not the injury is legitimate or a work, I know that a lot of fans must be disappointed that they didn't get to see the two unstoppable forces in a mouth-watering contest on RAW.
Kairi Sane is not Asuka in another sense, and that is because she completely forgot to sell a devastating move from Shayna Baszler that was delivered to her mere minutes ago. Her legs should have been obliterated after the move, and the announcers even emphasized how nasty it was, but moments later Sane was going to the top rope as if nothing significant had happened.

But that said, Shayna Baszler looks like a star and carries herself like a star. I can't wait for her match with Becky Lynch at WrestleMania.
This is provided she wins the WWE Elimination Chamber match but I have a feeling that she's going to do so quite easily indeed. Do you guys think that Liv Morgan has a shot too?
