"There's been no story; there's been no build" - Former WWE personality blasts Bianca Belair and Asuka's feud (Exclusive)

Vince Russo didn't hold back before criticizing WWE for booking a match between Bianca Belair and Asuka that lacked a compelling story and build.

The EST of WWE and The Empress of Tomorrow first collided at WrestleMania 39, where the latter failed to capture the RAW Women's Championship. On the May 12th episode of SmackDown, Asuka interrupted Bianca Belair's segment, where she was addressing her hometown fans of Knoxville.

The Japanese star soon splashed green mist on Belair's face, solidifying her heel turn. A match between the two was soon announced for Night of Champions 2023. On Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo, Vince Russo stated that the promotion hadn't presented Asuka as a legitimate threat to Belair's title reign.

Russo added that there had been no compelling build to the match and that there was little chance of Bianca Belair losing her title in such an encounter.

"I don't think they've done enough with Asuka to put the belt back on her. There's been no story; there's been no build; there's been nothing. I can't see Bianca (Belair) losing the belt in a non-story situation," said Vince Russo. (1:33 - 1:49)
