#4 Mandy Gets The Biggest Win Of Her Career
The question the wrestling community has been asking for the last few weeks has been a simple one, and that question was, where is Asuka? After beating Becky Lynch at the Royal Rumble in a great match, Asuka was nowhere to be seen on Smackdown Live, and that is a shame as women's wrestling is hotter than ever, and a few years ago, Asuka was the most feared competitor in the entire women's division.
"No one is ready for Asuka" is a catchphrase WWE loves to associate with Asuka, but it was not just a catchphrase a few years ago; it was the truth. No wrestler was on Asuka's level in NXT: not Ember Moon, not Bayley or even Sasha Banks. Asuka was a beast.
But on the main roster, WWE has watered her down to the point it doesn't feel like they have any legitimate plans for her going into WrestleMania, and by losing to someone who should not even be on her level this week on Smackdown Live was a real downer for the Women's Champion.
But it was a positive for her opponent Mandy Rose, as Rose is possibly the least talented in-ring star in the women's division according to most fans, but that doesn't stop her from being a huge star in the WWE.
Her appearance, character, and marketability helps her stand above most of the stars in the blue brand's women's division, and to be honest, Mandy does do a good job in playing her role, as the more diversity in characters the women's division offers fans, the more successful it will become.
And by beating Asuka this week on Smackdown Live, might be the best thing that has ever happened in Rose's career, as this may be her star in the making moment even if it came at the Women's Champion's expense.
