Ranking 10 NXT Call-Ups That Must Happen

2. Asuka - 7/10

Current NXT women's champion Asuka is the real deal, an outstanding and charismatic performer who mixes an effervescent personality with a classically painful-looking puro style and the capacity to have some of NXT's very best matches.

She has an achingly cool look, distinctive kimono-and-death-mask entrance and even the awesome sobriquet 'The Empress Of Tomorrow'.

Her lack of English, and the fact it's difficult to put the NXT women's title on anyone but her, have kept her on NXT. But if the main women's roster needs a hypable and very different addition it could do a lot worse than throw Asuka into the mix.

She doesn't look or wrestle like anyone else in WWE and could build a reaction just by looking so awesome. The impending addition of fellow Japanese star Kairi Sane means she'd have some puroresu company on the man roster, as well. The biggest problem with her call-up is what to do with the NXT women's division in her absence.
