Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Asuka vs Naomi

Here's the match video of Asuka vs Naomi from last night's episode of Smackdown. The WWE announced that there would be a coronation for Asuka. But instead Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair came out to complain about Ronda Rousey costing both of them Sunday's match. Then Asuka came out and then Vince McMahon came out and told them to stop complaining and take things up with Ronda. They knew there were no rules and as of Monday's RAW, there are no immediate rematches. Vince asked Asuka if she wants to defend the title right now. Of course she agreed and Naomi came out. My only problem with this is there was no heat because Asuka and Naomi are friends. But the match was competitive and entertaining. Commentary tried to sell that Naomi could win. But I don't think anyone believed that. And Asuka should win. It elevated Naomi because she hasn't been in a competitive match for months. And Asuka made sure that Naomi looked like a legitimate threat with a couple of near falls. This is the kind of match that Asuka enjoys. She gets to put herself and her opponent over. Becky and Charlotte were ringside so I'm sure we haven't seen the last of them. We'll see if they take Vince's advice and go after Ronda. Enjoy the video!
