Setup.1/2
The whole plan behind editing Asim scene was to push this narrative, that one week Asim didn't fight with Shukla he was invisible.
Caller question, that Asim is only seen when his fighting with Shukla was not for Asim but for neutral viewers, to plant this idea in their head that Asim is only visible when he fights with Shukla or poke him.
Setup.2/2
Now this week they will give physical task where Asim and Shukla will be in the opposite team, then Shukla will do what Shukla does best and we will have Asim vs Shukla again.
This week Asim will be shown a lot no more editing. then either through caller or Host in WKV, they will ask Asim that this week you were not invisible but you had to fight/poke Shukla to be visible.
Then, the last part of their plan will be complete, now if there was any doubt left in neutral viewers mind from last week (when Asim was not shown) it will be clear, that Asim is only visible when he fights/poke him, and Shukla was the victim not just in this fight but in all of those fights that they had.
Now, this is just my observation from watching how they manipulate everything. so I could be completely wrong on this.
