Women who defined wrestling: Post 2015

#4 Asuka

Her mass appeal could be clearly seen during the build-up to her TLC match this year

Many call her over-rated, but one cannot deny the mystique she brings with her. Her passionate persona, and her hard-hitting fighting style is something only a few can match in the squared circle.

Her mass appeal could be clearly seen during the build-up to her TLC match this year, where the crowd continued to cheer her every time she was in the ring despite Becky Lynch's presence.

Remember, it was the same Becky Lynch for whom the crowd turned against Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair, but it was not the case this time around.

In the developmental brand, Asuka was the most dominant superstar, never pinned, nor submitted, and only vacated the NXT Women's Championship after beating everyone they had.

Before joining WWE, Asuka wrestled under the name of Kanako Urai in various promotions such as Smash, Pro Wrestling Wave, Shimmer, and Wrestling New Classic. Asuka is much better as a heel.

Her fans will know about her villainous time in Japan, where she would get genuine heat from the crowd. This type of top heel characters are missing in the company right now, as they can manage to turn the crowd against them with the drop of a hat.

She is often compared to Goldberg because of the sudden push they both got, but unlike him who would wreck the competition - she outworks them. With the SmackDown Women's Championship, she is currently sitting at the top, and believe me - she has just started.
