10 Booking Steps For Asuka On WWE's Main Roster

10. The Free Agent

Back when WWE used to really care about how they introduced new talent, Scott Steiner's impending arrival in 2002 was presented by WWE as the most important free agent signing in the history of the industry.

Masking a foot injury that would hamper his debut clashes with Triple H (which in turn effectively destroyed his entire WWE career), 'The Big Bad Booty Daddy' walked, talked and acted like the biggest deal in the business, with Eric Bischoff and Stephanie McMahon desperate to acquire his signature for Raw and SmackDown respectively. 'Big Poppa Pump' even got a rare 'win' over the McMahon princess, using her for sex before agreeing to join the Monday Night Raw roster anyway.

This is not a suggestion that Asuka shouldn't sidle up to Shane McMahon in the 'Boy Wonder's limousine, but a similarly heated battle to earn the right to promote the former NXT Women's Champion would be a fabulous way to raise her stature amongst the uninitiated. Often a forgotten problem with the main roster transition is a large portion of the audience's relative indifference to the developmental brand.

Such fierce competition for her presence on a particular show before she's even thrown a kick would immediately establish her with the importance she so richly deserves.
