Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Asuka vs Peyton Royce

Here's the match video of Asuka vs Peyton Royce from last night's episode of Smackdown. Obviously the WWE wants to set up The Iiconics appearing on this Saturday's Australian Super Show in front of the Aussie fans. But they are trying to cram too much into two hours of Smackdown. So like the Asuka vs Billie Kay match from two weeks ago, the match is way too short and also like that match, Peyton gets way too much offense including two...count 'em...two rest holds. Rest holds should be forbidden in matches shorter than five minutes. Peyton does hit a Gory Special which Asuka sells probably a little too much. The two Aussies are good wrestlers. But the WWE doesn't seem to want them to be good. Again the finish shows that Asuka can transition from any position into the Asuka Lock. I know that on Saturday this match will run early in the show. But I hope the WWE gives these girls ample time to do a really good match because all of them are capable of it. Enjoy the video!
