7 Booking Directions For NXT After TakeOver: Brooklyn III
2. A New Challenger For Asuka
After emerging as the last woman standing from her feud with Nikki Cross last month, and then tapping out Ember Moon in Brooklyn, Asuka has steamrolled through almost every female in NXT.
A main roster call-up looks imminent - with the possibility of an appearance in the immediate aftermath of SummerSlam mooted as strong possibility - but we've been saying that for the better part of a year, and Triple H himself has stated that he sees the 35-year-old as the "anchor" of the women's developmental division.
Should she stay put, her next challenger may be drawn from the "greener" end of the NXT spectrum - the imposing Sonya Deville, for example, or perhaps even the winner of the Mae Young Classic, which culminates next month in Nevada.
