7) Asuka Is Out Of The Women’s Title Picture (For Now At least)
Asuka faced off against Billie Kay on Smackdown Live this week. Asuka won the match pretty quickly. The thing of importance here is that Asuka seems to be officially out of the Smackdown Women’s Title picture for the time being.
Hopefully, they reset her and she can get back to the top over the next few months.
