10 Wrestlers Who Have Suffered The Most Since WrestleMania 34

8. Asuka

Poor Asuka.

The cynical mindset to adopt is that WWE tend to look after their own. That is the punchline to the headlines generated through her shocking loss to Charlotte in New Orleans. Charlotte, Performance Center thoroughbred, was chosen to build ahead of WrestleMania 35. That was the head canon reconciliation, anyway, dreamt up before Carmella cleanly defeated the Queen at Backlash in an interminable encounter. At its climax, because WWE cannot build anybody effectively, even the no-hopers they cling to in a hopeless we-can-build-anybody mentality, Carmella did not win through skill. Charlotte, built (credibly) as a great in-ring performer, was booked as a greenhorn unable to get through a match without injuring herself nor reverse the most basic of holds.

Positioning Carmella as her superior is literally beyond a joke. Positioning Carmella as superior to the wrestler who broke Asuka's streak is precisely the sort of cynical Twitter take some were laughed off for posting in October of 2017. In WWE, where wins and losses do not matter, only cynicism is rewarded.

If Asuka emerges victorious on Sunday - lol, why do we still do this to ourselves - WWE will have simply reset the puzzle having spilled water all over it, its once seamless pieces smudged together, looking like absolute sh*t.
