more than likely, societal norms and shame would dictate them to probably sit in the mixed cars to dodge confrontation or incident.
Japanese culture is still coming around slowly to ideas of queer identities. In places like Tokyo, Osaka, and large metropolitan areas where you see more cultures blend and interact, it becomes easier to navigate daily life as such, but other places you are seen to have a mental illness or a weird perversion, it isn't a legit idenity and culture dictates you hide that aspect of yourself to keep from upsetting things.

Night two at Allstate Arena, as WWE continues to make Chicago-land their home for the holiday.
The Headliners
An official preview from WWE came late, and is sparse on details, which is both as expected for a company working over the Christmas holiday and a sign that Team Blue’s offering will probably be about as eventful as Raw was for the first three hours it was on Monday. Will it contain a shocking title change at the end, though?
Seems unlikely, but the hype does open with questions about who will emerge as WWE champion AJ Styles next challenger. The Phenomenal One has turned back Jinder Mahal’s attempts to reclaim the belt and/or get revenge for losing it to The Phenomenal One in the first place, including helping Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura to a six-man win over the team of Mahal, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn last Tuesday. So it’s time to move on.
Any of the four men not named AJ or Jinder in last week’s main event seem qualified. A quick tournament, series of matches or Fatal 4Way could make that official (and move things along toward a possible future pay-per-view (PPV) match that was possibly spoiled recently).
Or, with Royal Rumble just weeks away - and with it a focus on earning a WrestleMania title shot - SmackDown could make good on its “Land of Opportunity”* promise by letting Styles face a rising star. We know AJ can make just about anyone look great, and combined with the right story (Mojo Rawley’s killer instinct, perhaps?), they just might move someone up the card for good.
Don’t expect a definitive answer on Boxing Day. But as their red counterparts reminded us, never says never.
* Which also seems to be about the only thing Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan can agree on these days. Bryan thinks Shane is turning into his power-mad old man. McMahon thinks DB is getting played by Owens and Zayn. Whether or not the can get and stay on the same page again is a major question this show continues to ask, and an “opportunity” for a new face in the main event scene could be just the thing to mend the fence. Until it inevitably collapses completely, of course.
The Title Scene
Women’s champ Charlotte Flair is, like Styles, looking for a new challenger. Her situation is a little different, though. While AJ’s potential rivals are also thinking about the Rumble, Flair’s are laser focused on the first ever Women’s version. That, and the fact the ladies only get a fraction of the the time the guys get (even on a show with no commercials for the first hour), probably means The Queen will be a holding pattern for a while. So expect her to beat up The Riott Squad some more.
There’s some genuine intrigue surrounding the United States title Dolph Ziggler left in the ring last Tuesday. Leading up to that moment, it sounded like more of the same from The Show-Off... he’s the best, we don’t deserve him... but you’d think he’d want the strap to prove us wrong. The GM didn’t seem too concerned, so perhaps he thinks it’s just Dolph being dramatic again. Will the new champ be back after some time off to steal the show and tell us we don’t appreciate it, or is this the start of a genuine change in his act? And how will former champ Baron Corbin and thwarted challenger Bobby Roode - neither of who were on last week’s episode - react?
Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin continue to have The Usos’ number. Now can the break the tag team championship out of the penitentiary?
Other stuff to keep an eye on:
- With the number of competitors for the women’s match still an open question, Naomi remains the only official Rumbler, while John Cena and Elias are two of the thirty on the men’s side. Expect more names to be added tonight.
- Dec. 25 was Rusev’s birthday, but it’s still Rusev Day! Will he and Aiden English get revenge against The New Day for their pre-Christmas, flapjack aided win, or is it time for both groups to move on?
- Perhaps one of them can work with a pair of Bludgeoning Brothers?
Five weeks until Royal Rumble!
What will you be looking for on SmackDown Live tonight?
