10 Awesome Wrestlers WWE Sacrificed For The Greater Good

10. Asuka (SmackDown - 26 March 2019)

No recent WWE booking decision has rustled more internet jimmies than the one to put Charlotte Flair over Asuka on SmackDown's most recent episode, ending 'The Empress Of Tomorrow's' SD Women's Title reign at 100 days and, according to her staunchest supporters, burying the fallen Japanese star in the process.

Social media is still raging. Charlotte, the perceived corporate golden girl, had cut an internet favourite off at the knees. Flair will now carry the big blue belt into WrestleMania 35, and Asuka's hopes of making the card now look limited to the women's battle royal, which hasn't even been announced yet. More than that, it was an appropriately grim end to a lacklustre reign: one that should've rebuilt 'The Empress,' particularly after tapping Becky Lynch out at the Royal Rumble, but didn't.

The Greater Good:

This last-minute change was almost certainly done to ensure a picture-perfect closing shot for WWE's Four Horsewomen at WrestleMania, where Flair, Lynch, and Ronda Rousey will contest the main event. Becky shall presumably win the Raw Women's Title in that bout. Earlier, Sasha Banks and Bayley will have retained their Tag Titles, and 'Mania will end with all four in the ring, belts held aloft.
