Tell you who’s having a bad 2018, Asuka. She was the first ever winner of the First-Ever-Historic-Women’s-Royal-First-Ever-Rumble, yes, but then she got beat off Charlotte, jobbed out to Carmella (who is good) and now is just in some weird BBFs angle with Naomi. They need to fix this.

Big Banter Dave Meltzer has been reporting for a while now that the plan is to fully commit to a heel turn and a total rebrand of the character. It’s pretty much the only move they can make and wouldn’t you just know it, it’s supposed to happen at Evolution.

Asuka is in the Battle Royal, a crime in of itself, and the alleged smart money is on either her or Ember Moon winning the thing. There’s options for a heel turn with both those outcomes.
