If this reads like filler, it's because only Asuka being a killer can transform it into being anything else.

Kicking her way through the best of the rest on the blue brand may well be morbidly entertaining, but it underserves the 'Empress Of Tomorrow' after she clawed her way back to the top of the card at the tail-end of 2018. Two years ago, Naomi returned to action in front of her Orlando hometown fans to breeze through Alexa Bliss and the rest of SmackDown Live's Women's Division, but the contest was little more than a palette cleanser rather than a match with any particular meaning.

Asuka's at least winning now, but there's very little time for the company to tell a meaningful singles story at this point. Running through the field of contenders ahead of the post-WrestleMania Superstar Shake-up will at least give her a WrestleMania Moment to wash away the tears shed this time last year.
