She handed the title to Asuka before announcing her departure. At the time, many thought Asuka would be pushed with a rocket strap. Instead however, it looks as if Vince McMahon has lost interest in her once again. Just two wins since winning the title is a far cry from what a dominant champion looks like.
This is even more worrying in the absence of Paul Heyman; who made sure that certain wrestlers weren’t overlooked by management. However, it seems that there is nothing to worry about and the WWE are still very high on the current RAW Women’s Champion.

WWE higher ups including Vince himself, see value in her as a top player in the women’s division, especially in the absence of Becky Lynch.
