Another Big Raw Title Change Was Planned, Ultimately Changed
Added 2021-03-04 18:14:55 +0000 UTCThere were big plans for Lacey Evans before her pregnancy. WWE sources indicated to Fightful that the plan was for her to defeat Asuka at WWE Elimination Chamber for the WWE Raw Women's Title. Evans would have then continued her feud with Charlotte Flair, that was planned to continue through at least WrestleMania. I believe Ric Flair has also noted there were tentative plans for him to get physical in the angle, but he couldn't get cleared to do it. Those that we've spoken to in WWE said those were more ambitious plans from Flair himself than their own. The angle has been dropped altogether with no imminent plans to resume it as of this week.

2021-03-04 23:40:36 +0000 UTCThey've really lost the plot when it comes to women's wrestling in the WWE. I really wonder who they think this appeals to.

2021-03-04 18:54:36 +0000 UTCIt really angers me that someone as talented as Asuka is just being used to put over less-talented wrestlers like Charlotte and Shayna. Speaking of, why haven't you guys said anything about Asuka's getting her teeth kicked out and ending up with a concussion as a result?

2021-03-04 18:35:45 +0000 UTCWouldve been the second time in 3 years Asuka was stripped of title at Fastlane unceremoniously. I don't have high hopes for whatever they do in lieu of that.

2021-03-04 18:26:07 +0000 UTCThat sounds awful. While it would've been a hilarious episode of Sour Graps, I wouldn't want to put Alex through "Confederate Barbie" (his hilarious words) as champion.
