10 WWE Wrestlers Who Could Break Records Before 2020 Ends

7. Asuka — First Failed Women’s Money In The Bank Cash-in

First things first, big congratulations to Asuka on winning the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, and even bigger thumbs up for booting King Corbin in the face to do so. The Empress of Tomorrow has been one of the few standouts of the empty arena era, and nobody deserves a little shine more than the former NXT and SmackDown Women’s Champion. Throw in the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble and now the briefcase; Asuka is quietly putting together a Hall of Fame career.

Who will Asuka cash-in on? Becky Lynch? Bayley? All of that remains to be seen, but the elephant in the room is the general boredom that surrounds the cash-in concept in 2020. For 15 years we have seen surprise cash-in after surprise cash-in, and the briefcase has become the laziest of booking crutches for a creative team that is yet to meet a crutch it didn’t like.

A failed women’s cash-in is going to happen sooner or later, and if the former is true then this spells bad news for Asuka. Her career has been one of firsts, although ‘first woman to fail to cash-in her Money in the Bank briefcase’ won’t have been on her 2020 to-do list.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
