News on Asuka & Charlotte Moving Forward, Jeff Hardy’s Future

WWE will no doubt be planning more matches and storylines involving Asuka and Charlotte now that they are both on the same show, but according to Dave Meltzer on a recent edition of The Wrestling Observer Radio, it is likely not expected to happen right away because both are babyfaces. Meltzer also added that the plan for a while will be for the three top babyfaces on SmackDown which are Asuka, Charlotte and Becky Lynch to be in a program with Peyton Royce, Billy Kay and Carmella.
It was previously reported that Big Cass is in line for a push now that he is in SmackDown Live. Another wrestler in line for a push on SmackDown Live is new United States Champion Jeff Hardy, who now has a clearer path to a top babyface role. Hardy has been someone WWE Officials have long viewed more as a singles star rather than a tag team competitor so it was only a matter time before he was pushed. The DWI charge appears to be a complete non-issue for the company and there is a chance that Hardy will be the top three babyface on SmackDown Live, behind only AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan.
