5 things that shouldn't have happened on SmackDown Live - 22nd May, 2018

#3 No Asuka-Carmella faceoff

Asuka didn't make her presence felt this week

Asuka was missing in action this week. Her absence really hurt whatever momentum she had gained last week when Paige made her the No. 1 Contender for Carmella's SmackDown Women's Title.

This week Carmella stated how she is better than Asuka because Charlotte beat Asuka at WrestleMania and Carmella has beaten Charlotte twice. According to Carmella, this makes her twice as better as Asuka.

This week, neither Asuka nor Carmella were seen in the ring. After Carmella's comments, Asuka should have put on a dominating performance against Peyton Royce with Carmella ringside. Now that Carmella has gotten a worthy opponent, this match should be gaining heat and the two should be part of the Blue Brand every week.
