#2 Help Asuka rebuild

Few superstars have had a year as rough as Asuka's. The former NXT Women's Champion started the year by becoming the first ever winner of the female Royal Rumble match, she continued to ride that wave through to WrestleMania, where she tasted her first ever WWE defeat to Charlotte Flair.

Since then, her career has gone off a cliff. She suffered back to back defeats at the hands of Carmella during the Summer and the most notable thing she has done in the second half of the year was a dance with Naomi.

While Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey are leading the way in the women's division, Asuka has become nothing more than a bystander.

Now, while it is highly unlikely she will pick up the victory at TLC, the WWE can help her regain some momentum by having her dominate large portions of the match against two of the hottest superstars in the WWE right now.

Asuka is one of the most competent performers in the WWE right now, and while her recent booking suggests otherwise, the WWE could still rebuild her with the correcting booking, and that has to start at TLC.

Having her take part in such a historic main-event will at least gets fans talking about her, and the gimmick for the match may allow her to show a more aggressive side between the ropes.
