Bengaluru, March 28: WWE Universe was indeed added a new twist on this past Tuesday Night. A huge title change was in-store as Charlotte Flair defeated Asuka to win back the Smackdown Women's Championship. This is her third win in the blue brand and by winning the title, she set a record that nobody from the women's division has managed to break before.
The social media went berserk once this championship alteration happened. The fans thought it was solely a Vince McMahon decision as he always has a soft spot for Charlotte Flair. So he did not back out from exercising such a random and harsh decision that portrays Asuka as a weak champion.
But the reality could be far different from what we think in open eyes. With just 10 days left for Wrestlemania 35, WWE did this switch with a bigger plan in-store for the Wrestlemania 35 main event. It is currently set for a triple threat where Charlotte Flair will take on Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch for the Raw women's championship.
Hence, keeping one women's championship in WWE makes sense, for now. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair's Smackdown Women's Championship win was historic by all means. She is an eight-time women's title winner (4 RAW Women's titles, 3 SmackDown Women's titles, and 1 Divas title), creating an all-time record in the history of the WWE.
