10 Triple H Guys Who Must Be MISERABLE In The New WWE
5. Asuka
Whilst it went unsaid, Bianca Belair versus Asuka at WrestleMania was about numbers. Belair had so far not been defeated at the Show of Shows, a place where Asuka had yet to win a single match. And, once the dust had cleared after a very strong bout, those two things remained the same.
Asuka is somehow now 0-5 at WrestleMania - quite an unbelievable stat all things considered.
It was incredibly telling that Asuka has struggled (through no fault of her own) to put much memorable material together in the last few years. The video packaging hyping the match relied heavily on footage from years ago when the Empress of Tomorrow was undefeated for around two and a half years.
In the wake of her loss, Asuka took to Twitter to respond to a fan who wondered about the superstar returning to Japan. She seemed to downplay the idea but wasn't shy to describe the women's division in WWE as "boring", complete with a s*** emoji that spelt out how frustrated she really was.
The women's division, that Levesque had worked so hard on previously, has been a state for a while now, even with Papa H as lead booker. Still, it's hard to feel confident that Asuka's booking will get better under a returning Vince.
