If you seriously think we've gone back to Diva's era just because we aren't getting 4 star matches every Takeover then that's just some delusional shit. They're still better off than the main roster divisions are right now.
Alright, stop this 4 star bullshit right now. Literally nobody is asking for them to put a great match everytime there's a TakeOver around the corner, but is it too much if we, I, ask for some logic and actual effort put into the storylines and execution of the matches? Really if someone watches one of her matches, they've seen them all. It's the same recycled crap over and over again. She isn't helping the division to grow by keeping the title hostage and half assing things like this.
The division has been in shambles ever since Bayley left. With or without Asuka's undefeated streak, it'd be that way.
Here's another lie. When Bayley was champ, there was a nice group ready to step up after Sasha, Becky and Charlotte left. Names like Carmella, Alexa, Peyton, Billie, Liv Morgan, Nia and so on... they were all there to climb the ladder and improve...that's until Asuka came and squashed everyone. Now of that group most of them got a call up and are doing better things on RAW/SD than in NXT, while Peyton and Billie aren't allowed to show what they're capable of because putting the spotlight on Asuka is their top priority, not to mention that the group has been replaced with some average names like Nikki Cross, Ruby Riot and Ember Moon.
Now I have the feeling that even if Asuka loses the title, the same goddamn cycle will happen again with whoever becomes the new champ. NXT just doesn't develop talent anymore and are simply wasting their resources and time to make good entrances and productions, completely not giving a fuck about giving chances to the talent that has proved to get one by improving their character which is also severely lacking on just about everyone and in ring work.
