WWE is a very busy place, especially nowadays. Titles can also change hands, and that might cause the company to miss a step when they need to refresh images they use for the current champion. It seems that happened once again.

Click here for our complete coverage of WWE SmackDown this week.

Asuka was the champion before SummerSlam, where she had a match against Bianca Belair. The EST of WWE won that match, and became the new champion, but then IYO Sky had other plans.

The Genius of the Skies ran down as Miss Money in the Bank, and she cashed in on Bianca Belair. That was a very short title reign for Belair, and the company didn’t even get to change out her side plates on the title.

IYO Sky apparently posed with Asuka’s title after she won it, and WWE didn’t feel the need to get new photos. That being said, eagle-eyed fans have noticed that IYO Sky is actually still holding Asuka’s title in her render on graphics as champion.

The Asuka side plate is very visible in the new graphics that WWE has been using. Fans called this out, so hopefully, IYO Sky will get a new shot with her title belt. If anything, that would certainly be a sign that the company plans on letting IYO Sky carry the title for a little longer.

IYO Sky has side plates for her title, but they have apparently not switched around the photo yet. Hopefully, this can happen, because IYO Sky’s fans were a bit confused to see Asuka’s side plate over her shoulder.
