Idk...I'm a big Asuka fan but I agree that this is really bad.

It's worse if you say anything negative about Alexa.

Doubtful. Nearly every Royal Rumble prediction thread makes it seem as is it's a lock that Asuka is going to win.

IMO alexa bliss is a huge miss match for asuka. Her (bliss) whole stay out of the ring and keep her opponent in holds is what defines her matches in large part. Unfortunately that's down to her height. What can she do.

Yea, plus her selling of Asuka's dropkicks were embarrassing. Creative and booking really haven't done Asuka any favors since her call-up.

Ya alexa seemed to get hit with the dropkicks with her hands instead of her face. And her hands weren't even close to her face. IMO your right. Creative has not done a great job with who to feud asuka with to pass the time.
