Well bloody hell, WWE's build for the Raw Women's Title match has been rubbish. Creative couldn't give less of a toss about Bianca Belair vs. Asuka, and that means fans are struggling to get invested in the feud too. This is a real drop-off for Belair at 'Mania, sadly.

She's retaining all day here.

Asuka winning would be considered a minor shock, if only 'cause Bianca's lengthy title reign deserves better than to end 'just because'. Who knows, maybe these women will produce the goods and turn some heads on the midcard this weekend. They're up against it though, and WWE only has itself to blame for that.

Personally, this guy would keep the belt on Belair for now, then figure out something higher-profile for her heading into SummerSlam. Honestly? She's rather lost in the mix due to iconic comebacks from Lita and Trish Stratus, and her match defo comes across as one of 'Mania 39's least important.
