Asuka seems destined to turn heel in the coming weeks, but ahead of tonight's episode of WWE RAW, it seems that congratulations are in order for the former Women's Champion.

On September 8th, 2015, it was officially announced that Asuka had signed a contract with WWE. This marked a major turning point for NXT and WWE's women's division. It was as part of a press conference in Tokyo, Japan, that her signing was made official.

The Empress of Tomorrow had appeared at ringside for NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, a few weeks earlier, which all but confirmed her signing.

The RAW star went on to change the NXT women's division, going on a lengthy undefeated streak and amassing a Women's Championship reign that lasted 510 days before she relinquished the title due to injury.

In October 2017, she arrived on the main roster and appeared to pick up where she left off.

What's next for Asuka on WWE RAW?

Asuka has already had a Hall of Fame-worthy career in WWE as a four-time Women's Champion and a four-time Women's Tag Team Champion. She has been credited as a member of The Kabuki Warrior and Damage CTRL, even though the latter has seemingly disbanded following Dakota Kai's release.

The Empress has accomplished much more than many expected as part of WWE, but it seems that she could be set to embark on a heel turn on RAW. The current storyline is that she is seemingly jealous of the friendship between IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley and has tried to come between them numerous times.

It's likely that she will be the one to cost IYO SKY the Women's World Championship at Wrestlepalooza, which could lead to a massive feud between the long-time friends, leaving Kairi Sane in the middle, since she has remained friends with both stars.

These wrestling matches are not 'fake' at all - Watch!
