I've been thinking that for weeks. Why does raw announce everything? Even the Rousey moment, she interrupted Asuka winning, starred down Charlotte, we hear nothing, then randomly they announce she's signing contract on a raw ppv. Couldn't have at least done contract negotiation segments with raw and SD pitching their brand to her?
And the Asuka moment makes no sense. Sure, she's confident in winning, but why even allow the Nia stipulation? Asuka hasn't even said she's facing raws champ has she? All I remember is Kurt saying if Nia wins, she faces Asuka and raw champ at WM. What's stopping her from just being like "never mind, I'm going to Smackdown"
