Asuka has been utterly dominant in NXT's women's division, a champion without anyone resembling a legitimate challenger. Since winning the title at NXT TakeOver: Dallas way back in April Asuka has been relentless in her domination, vanquishing Bayley, Nia Jax, and Mickie James on TakeOver specials ever since.

Has WWE ever seen a woman as utterly in control as The Empress of Tomorrow? In her first year on the roster Asuka is yet to be defeated, and in truth nobody has even come close to troubling her. This presents a long term problem for WWE, and NXT's women's division is in a transitional period.

Gripes aside, Asuka's 2016 has been too commanding for her to finish anywhere other than in the top five. The former Kana is one of the top workers in the entire company, regardless of gender or position. Once Ember Moon and Nikki Cross have established themselves, NXT's women's division could be cracking once more.
