5 Ups And 3 Downs From WWE Raw (March 30)

Ups...

5. A Spirited Squash

It’s a shame we don’t see squash matches like we did between Asuka and Kayden Carter very often.

There was little doubt that the trash-talking Empress of Tomorrow was winning her match Monday night, but Carter fired off a series of attacks, only to have Asuka counter them. Kayden landed a couple blows, but Asuka absorbed them, cinched in the Asuka Lock and earned a tap-out win.

The Empress got a convincing win, but Carter didn’t look like a useless geek, just an overmatched rookie. And there’s a difference there.
