SmackDown Women's Championship Match: Asuka (c) vs. Naomi

The two former tag team partners would likely have had a good match.

Although Asuka has already beaten her former tag team partner, a match between the two faces would have been easy to build rather than cram together a match with Mandy Rose in two weeks.

They could have played video packages on SmackDown if they didn't want too much in the way of in-ring encounters, but alas, Naomi was beaten in less than five minutes by Rose.

The former two-time SmackDown champ deserves better than a glorified squash match that someone like Dana Brooke is better suited for.

But a lot of what was booked for Fastlane was basically an appetizer for the main course that will be WrestleMania 35.

Ad

Perhaps Deville and/or Naomi get title shots in April or maybe Nikki Cross reappears. Some suggested that Lacey Evans might get a shot, but other than the Royal Rumble appearance, she's only walked down a ramp twice a week.

That doesn't signify a worthy challenger for a title match at the Show of Shows, but I'm not a WWE booker.
