1) The Plans For Asuka At Wrestlemania 37?
During this week’s episode of RAW, Byron Saxton spoke about the match between Asuka and Nia Jax. While hyping it up, he noted that it was a match that was “Wrestlemania main event worthy”.
According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), this was a line that Saxton was directly told to say by WWE. Here is what Sapp wrote:
In case you were wondering, the Byron Saxton line about Asuka vs. Nia Jax being “WrestleMania Main Event Worthy” was scripted and instructed to him completely. There was no ad libbing on his part for that line, and was a total directive from WWE.
Could this be a possible hint at WWE planning Asuka vs Nia for Wrestlemania 37? I want to make it clear that Sapp did not say anything about Wrestlemania 37 but it has me thinking that WWE is trying to sell fans on that match. Asuka vs Nia also did not have a clean finish on RAW, which keeps the door open for a rematch down the road.
My Take:
- Personally, I would rather us get something like Asuka vs Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania 37. I would even prefer Asuka vs Shayna Baszler. Nia vs Asuka just doesn’t interest me.
