I just spoke about how badly Samoa Joe has been booked as Champion. I honestly believe that Asuka is perhaps an even worse example of WWE not knowing what to do with their talents. I mean her run as the SmackDown Women's Champion as to be among the worst travesties in WWE history.
She won the title with much fanfare when Ronda Rousey helped her on the big stage. But she stagnated soon after and eventually lost her Championship to Charlotte Flair. And tonight she was in the 18-person tag team match to showcase the women's battle royal.
In just a matter of weeks, she has gone from being one of the featured stars on the blue brand to becoming a completely worthless piece of the puzzle. Some may say that WWE booked her well by having her stand tall in this segment, but this match in itself was silly.
