5 things WWE told us indirectly on SmackDown Live (April 16, 2019)

#3 Asuka in the tag division

The Empress of Tomorrow was one of the hottest aspects of the SmackDown Women’s division not so long ago. She won the SmackDown Women’s Title at TLC last year but after that, some bad booking decisions meant that her reign was a forgettable one.

She then lost the title two weeks before WrestleMania on SmackDown, which ended her reign at 100 days. Usually, being the champion means the limelight is almost always on you.

But in the case of Asuka, it was the opposite that happened as she didn’t even make a significant appearance at WrestleMania.

However, WWE may have found a new role for her as she came out with Kairi Sane on SmackDown. With the Sasha Banks situation weakening the Women’s Tag division, WWE may use this pair to fill up the void left by the breakup of the Boss ‘n’ Hug Connection.
