WrestleMania 35: 3 Reasons why it's unfair to have Asuka lose her title before the PPV

The Road to WrestleMania 35 is filled with some unpleasant surprises. The fans got to know that Kurt Angle would be facing Corbin in his retirement match, although the majority wanted John Cena, the company chose Corbin instead.

The creative team also unnecessarily inserted Charlotte Flair into the Raw women's title match at WrestleMania 35. Charlotte is a very talented superstar but just Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey was enough to be a crowd puller.

They also made Finn Balor lose the Intercontinental title when everyone thought that he would be entering WrestleMania with it and making a title defense. With WrestleMania almost arriving, the company gave another surprising twist by putting the SmackDown Women's Title on Charlotte.

The series of surprises and twists are being met with mixed reactions from the crowd. It is unknown at the moment as to what other twists WWE might have in store. Hopefully, they concentrate on WrestleMania without any more shockers, as there is no more time left.

Charlotte Flair certainly deserves the SmackDown Women's Title, but the question is whether she really deserves it when she already has a title match at WrestleMania 35. Also, what would happen to Asuka, their previous title winner who looked likely to defend it at WrestleMania?

With all these questions in mind, let us look at why it's unfair for WWE to take the title from Asuka with WrestleMania so close.

#3 It looks like WWE prefers fame and name over talent

Charlotte Flair

Becky Lynch has fame. Charlotte Flair has made a name, and Ronda Rousey has a UFC background, but Asuka has talent, and it seems like WWE doesn't approve of her talent. If they really approved her talent, they wouldn't have ended her streak at WrestleMania 34.

Now on the Road to WrestleMania 35, they put another stumbling block on her path to success by making her lose to Charlotte Flair just before WrestleMania. This doesn't look like credible storytelling either.

If they wanted Charlotte to win the Smackdown women's title they could've done it at WrestleMania. Out of the blue, they inserted her in Raw women's title match and out of the blue she wins the Smackdown Women's Title.

Some would argue that it's ultimately best for the business as there are no credible competitors for Asuka at this point in time. However, that opinion wouldn't justify denying Asuka a WrestleMania spotlight.

They should've at least inserted her in the triple threat women's title match and made it a fatal 4-way match. It would've at least shown that they respect Asuka's talent.

#2 It seems like the women's revolution excludes the Asian talent

The Women's Revolution owes much to Asuka just like it owes to Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Her undefeated streak in NXT is just unimaginable. She also won the first ever women's Royal Rumble match. Asuka's gimmick adds a refreshing variety to the roster. She holds the dream of millions watching in Asia. Through Asuka, many Asian women get inspired to dream bigger in life.

However, the management seems to be a bit biased when it comes to promoting non-American talents. They are yet to crown their first African American WWE Champion. Asuka going into WrestleMania would've been inspirational to Asian women and children.

During previous WrestleManias, they broke her undefeated streak out of nowhere at the hands of Charlotte Flair. During the build-up to this WrestleMania again Charlotte Flair defeated her and took her title in a normal episode of Smackdown.

If they wanted to do this title switch then they should've done it at WrestleMania 35. Some people might argue that they would be unifying the women's title at WrestleMania. That's a good point but why do they have to remove Asuka's title for that.

They could've easily made Asuka to be in the match and turned it into a fatal 4 way. Asuka has a victory over Becky Lynch at Royal Rumble so it would've been justified. The Asian women would've had someone to root for along with the Irish and American supporters.

So the on-screen women's revolution doesn't involve an Asian woman? It sounds so unless they make Asuka a part of the first ever women's main event match at WrestleMania.

#1 Asuka's loss makes some other women lose their spotlight

Does this title switch necessarily have to happen given the fact that it actually takes away the spotlight from some deserving women? The Smackdown women's title match in addition to the Raw women's title match would've meant more opportunities for women Superstars.

However, the title switch shows that the company is only going to give the spotlight to just three women who compete for the Raw women's title. Sure, other female superstars will have something to do at WrestleMania but they won't be doing something as significant as being in a title match.

The male competitors from Raw and SmackDown have four major singles titles to fight for but the women will have just one major title. Some Smackdown women superstars expressed their regrets on Twitter.

Mandy Rose, one of the promising WrestleMania contenders for the title tweeted her disappointment in a tweet following Charlotte Flair winning the Smackdown women's title.

Putting all the equity in the wrong blonde... 🙄 #smh #GodsGreatestCreation #Sdlive

Mandy wasn't the only one who expressed her regret over the decision as her friend Sonya Deville and other WWE competitors like Natalya and Lana also took their disagreement to Twitter.

As of now, it looks like an unfair decision to leave a separate Smackdown women's title match from being featured on WrestleMania. Nevertheless, we'll hope that the creative team has a solid plan to make up for it.
