5 WWE Superstars Vince McMahon is currently looking to push

#3 Asuka

Now, obviously from this list I've decided to exclude all the newly crowned champions for fairly obvious reasons, including new WWE World Champions, Drew McIntyre, and Braun Strowman. However, I couldn't leave out the new RAW Women's Champion, Asuka from this list as she has been booked well by Vince McMahon and the creative team.

Currently, on the back of a lengthy reign as WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, Asuka and her tag team partner, Kairi Sane, lost their titles to Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross at WWE WrestleMania 36.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

The defeat, however, eventually turned to be a blessing for The Empress of Tomorrow, as she once again broke out as a singles competitor and earned a spot at this year's Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Not only did Asuka earn herself a spot but also went on to win the briefcase and that also lead to her being crowned as the new RAW Women's Champion on this week's edition of WWE RAW, without even having to go through the struggle of cashing-in her MITB briefcase.

Asuka seems to be in the good books of the WWE management and Vince McMahon, as she now has the privilege of enjoying one more reign as Women's Champion. However, based on her booking by Vince McMahon, we can figure out how-much WWE has decided to invest into 'The Empress of Tomorrow'.
