— WWE’s plan is still to build towards a Becky Lynch vs. Asuka storyline and match but it isn’t expected to happen imminently, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. It appears the Kabuki Warriors turning on Paige was an expected first step in that direction, despite some reports elsewhere that it was related in any way to a possible Paige in-ring return (she is not cleared to wrestle for WWE indefinitely).
— WWE Friday Night Smackdown on 10/25 in Kansas City and WWE Raw on 10/28 in St. Louis both drew a live attendance of approximately 5,500 which fell below internal expectations.
