Maika losing big matches again has been a pattern again and it's a good decision to downcycle her for now before the eventual big push happens again
The most important thing about booking an Ace is giving them setbacks, and OkaTaro started that after the Natsuko Tora No DQ match.
She's very obviously going to grab some gold again sooner rather than later, but keeping her out of the top title picture after THAT 2024 is good for everyone involved.
It keeps Maika fresh, keeps her rivalries hot, gets the fans behind her more, and creates interest more than her just rolling through everyone on the roster with no problem
