It's too soon to put the title on Bianca Belair but she could certainly provide a great challenge to the Empress of Tomorrow. Belair would be a better option later in the year as Asuka should have a lengthy reign. The EST needs to better establish herself on Monday nights, more so than Lacey Evans did last year following WrestleMania 35. Evans jumped right into the title picture and had three successive title shots last summer.

Belair is certainly a future champion but Asuka is on another level. She's faced the majority of the women on the main roster so she knows what to expect. Belair is a unique blend of power, speed, and athleticism, that can get you near the end of the line but it doesn't always get you across the finish line.

It's still a little unclear if the former EST of NXT is a face or a heel, but if her partnership with the Street Profits is an indication, she's a face. We'll know more about which direction Asuka takes with her character next week. The Empress of Tomorrow's demeanor may change or she may revert to cackling and yelling. Whatever the case may be, Belair could see herself getting a title match some time down the line while Asuka is champion.
