4. Asuka

Speaking of wrestlers who aren't being booked properly...

Asuka's recent TV appearances - or lack thereof - have been baffling. It wasn't that long ago that the she main-evented RAW for four consecutive weeks, and justified WWE's faith in her each and every time. Yet despite that, the Empress of Tomohas been relegated as Bianca Belair's sidekick in recent months.

Hopefully, as senor Hamflett recently opined, this is just a temporary phase while Triple H works out a bigger role for the Japanese superstar. Asuka has proven she can be the focal point of the women's division - she helped carry the company through the Empty Arena era, after all - and even if that's not on the cards, she definitely deserves more than carrying the champion's bags. (Or Alexa's doll).

Asuka is a fantastic all-round entertainer, and RAW is a much brighter place when her green-tinged grin is lighting up the crowd. Here's hoping that the WWE stop treating the Empress of Tomorrow as yesterday's news.
