10 Quick Fixes To Save NXT

2. The Asuka Challenge

If Asuka gets by all three decidedly inferior opponents in San Antonio, it will further assert her almost unassailable dominance over the depleted NXT Women's division, with only Ember Moon left as a (still rather ambitious) suggestion to take her title at a future TakeOver event later in 2017.

In order to prepare the two for battle by then, Asuka needs to continue down the line of screaming out the challenge to anybody, leaving WWE to roll out the red carpet to any female legends that fancy a payday in 'The Asuka Challenge'.

William Regal could initiate a fortnightly Women's title defence, allowing Asuka to spend the next few months taking down such names as Awesome Kong, Gail Kim, Victoria, Jackie Moore, Michelle McCool, and absolutely anybody else they can dust off before Takeover: Orlando.

This would lead to THE old/new generation clash for the Wrestlemania weekend event, as Asuka could defeat Trish Stratus in a battle for the ages.

Established as completely unstoppable, Asuka could turn heel on a sporting Stratus the aftermath, spinning the post-TakeOver Asuka challenge into a bullish assault on younger NXT females over the summer months to build up to her eventual dethroning by Ember Moon at TakeOver: Brooklyn 3.
