No, nor should she. But she gave up the NXT title without losing it, to keep the undefeated streak.
Storyline wise she choose to sign with Raw, makes no sense she would suddenly choose Smackdown just because of Charlotte.
They hyped the Women's Rumble hard, to the point it closed the show. Not having the payoff of the Rumble winner complete that story by becoming champ is a waste.
They planted seeds for her to be the one to give Alexa her comeuppance and be the undefeated champion.
This would lead to a championship match where she would lose the title and the streak, and they have their next breakout woman.
They threw all that away for what?
What did Charlotte gain by winning? It wouldn't have hurt to have her lose.
Are they building to a women's main event match at Mania 35 of Charlotte and Ronda?
If that is the plan, have Ronda beat Asuka and end her streak.
Then there is Carmella, they had her cash in and beat Charlotte after Charlotte got beat up by 2 chicks Asuka destroyed for a year straight.
Now that Carmella has been good, you don't want to pull the plug on her too early, so again, Asuka eats another loss and doesn't become champion again.
Charlotte could have defended successfully at Mania against anybody else, Iconics could have debuted the same way 2 days later, Carmella could then have cashed in the same way, and we could be exactly where we are on Smackdown without throwing away Asuka's credibility.
Then there is the Raw side, which is worse.
WWE decided what the hell, let's give bully Nia a sudden face turn because she can be a fat advocate for Be A Star, even though she sucks.
That lasts a month and a half, and OF COURSE that doesn't work, so WWE sacrifices another chance at building up a new star by having say Ember Moon win MITB, and the MITB match itself, just so they can reset everything back to where it was, meaning Alexa Bliss is champion again.
I love Alexa Bliss, and she is a good bail out for the shitshow they booked themselves in to.
On Raw, Asuka could be the undefeated champ with the slow build to say a Survivor Series match where Ronda could take the title and the streak, and with it being the first big 4 PPV after Brock leaves, WWE would still have that big fight feel match.
They essentially gave that all up cause they thought Nia Jax was good.
Ending the streak isn't the problem by itself, just a byproduct of horrible shortsighted booking.
