Asuka was little more than a secondary challenger on the grand stage, but she and Bianca Belair produced the goods in-ring. The final few minutes, in particular, were a real reminder of just how good both women are. If only the booking had backed up their abilities heading into 'Mania.

That Raw Women's Title scenario was a real afterthought.

You might've noticed some scattered boos for Bianca in SoFi Stadium. They weren't exactly thunderous, but there was some heat on her from a few sections once Asuka missed her...mist and it became clear Belair was going to successfully retain her gold.

It really feels like people are ready to see Bianca drop the title. She's been Raw Women's Champ since WrestleMania 38, and WWE hasn't exactly furnished her reign with great challengers. The next one could be Belair's last, then she can veer towards a heel turn so she has some fresh direction for the rest of the year.
