6 Ups And 5 Downs From WWE Raw (March 6)

DOWNS…

5. Oh God, They’re Going To Do It

By “it,” we mean “make WrestleMania opponents team up to take on another pair while the announcers ask, ‘But can they get along?’ ”

Bianca Belair and Asuka each have faced – and defeated – Carmella the past two weeks, but now the Princess of Staten Island has Chelsea Green in her corner (which by itself is a good move), and Asuka came to Belair’s aid Monday night.

WWE logic says that now you take the two Mania opponents and partner them up to challenge Team Karen while the announcers constantly remind us that they’re facing each other in less than a month. Then when Asuka turns on Belair, everyone will act shocked… except all of us who remember what happened to Bianca with Sasha Banks just two years ago.

Seriously, they are potentially replicating the same crappy “can they coexist?” storyline with Bianca again.

There’s obviously a chance they won’t, but all the pieces are there and this is still WWE, so yeah, thumbs down.
