#3 WWE RAW Women's Champion Asuka

In the opinion of many fans, Asuka is the best female WWE Superstar. Her English might be limited, but she is entertaining in every one of her appearances. Flair has the name value and the big performances, but the Empress of Tomorrow is widely thought to be a more complete package and an exciting performer.

Asuka won the first Women's Royal Rumble and this year's Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. However, she has traditionally been booked to lose to Charlotte Flair in big moments. Asuka only "defeated" her as RAW Women's Champion when Flair was kayfabe hurt and heading for some time away from WWE.

Even with that, Asuka is one of the most dangerous women in all of pro-wrestling. She has great strikes and submissions and is as resilient as they come. That was part of the reason why she was the last one eliminated by Shayna Baszler in this year's Elimination Chamber match.

Factor in her great character work as a heel or a face, and it's not a big surprise that she's usually at the top of the women's division on both SmackDown and RAW. It's all the more impressive that she's not one of the four Horsewomen on WWE NXT.

Blanchard has been booked as a top star before, and has dealt with both physical threats and psychological threats in the ring from the likes of Sami Callihan. Asuka is one of the best that WWE has to offer and they would surely produce a great match to either headline a pay-per-view or at least feature at WrestleMania, SummerSlam or Royal Rumble.

Blanchard spent some time in Japan prior to her big runs in the past two years, so that could also be used in a potential feud should she sign with WWE.
