10 WWE Stars We Aren't Allowed To Like

9. Asuka

Asuka can't really perform in WWE's trademark verbal segments, but then, it's not as if there's a shortage of them. What Asuka can do is far, far more impressive than saying something in an insincere cadence before - swerve! - revealing that she didn't mean it after all.

Asuka can wiggle her fingers in delight at the thought of kicking someone's head in, doing in a nanosecond what most other performs can't do in a full-length match, and convey a genuine sense of imminent danger. Asuka can move from one side of the ring to the other at warp speed and trap her opponents in gruesome submission holds like a flying widow spider. Her matches aren't actually that dangerous in content; she's just a magic worker.

And now, she can even disappear!

Do you like Asuka?

Tough t*tties!

Asuka is Japanese, WWE defined her entirely by her undefeated streak, and once that was binned off purely to build Carmella (!) or because another undefeated streak came to an end in the same building (!), she is of no worth to WWE.

Also, she's not Kevin Dunn's type.
