5 Ways For WWE To Fix Asuka

3. Take The Belt Off Her

Asuka's reign is already dead - it's time to unplug the life support and let her move on.

As the previous entries showed, WWE never once gave its audience a reason to care about Asuka as champion. Six months into the game is way too late to fix that, so the best thing they could do for her is remove the belt that's become an albatross around her neck.

The timing works out. Charlotte and Asuka's nonsensical partnership showed its first fault-lines on Raw this week, and Charlotte taking the belt would allow the Queen to face the incoming Rhea Ripley for the strap at WrestleMania 37, allowing Ripley to get her win back after 36.

Losing to Charlotte at this stage in her career wouldn't hurt Asuka too much (everyone loses to Charlotte), as long as it's done well. Charlotte should win through nefarious means, as she's a much better heel than face, and if Asuka snaps and beats the holy hell out of her after the match it'll hark a welcome return to the ass-kicking Empress of old.

As for what she should do next...
