She is a former SmackDown Women’s champion, tag team champion, and now that Becky Lynch has given her title a day after her Money in the Bank win, Asuka looks set to be the champ once again.

Asuka has all the skills and talent required to be the next face of the Women’s division. With a title reign coming, she’ll not be void of opportunities as well.

Charlotte Flair

Charlotte has already established herself well in the WWE. Initially, everyone believed she was getting opportunities as she was the daughter of Rick Flair, but that was not the case. Charlotte proved time and time again why she deserved the hype.

Flair is an 11-time Women’s champion, Royal Rumble winner, and being one among the only three women ever to headline WWE WrestleMania. Flair ticks all the right boxes when it comes to being a top WWE superstar.

She has a great chance at the moment to be the next big thing once again in the Women’s division. As the current NXT champion, it could only be a little time before Charlotte Flair cements her place.

Sasha Banks

Sasha is currently part of the SmackDown roster and is a six-time championship holder. She was part of the first women’s iron match in WWE, a match that lasted for a length of 30 minutes. Banks also headlined the first Women’s leading event in a PPV when she faced Charlotte Flair in Hell in the Cell.

Could Banks be the next face of the WWE? Only time will tell.

Shayna Baszler

Shayna Baszler performs under RAW and could be the next big superstar of WWE. She is a great heel in the WWE and has a very compelling persona. She has what it takes to pull off great promos and can sync well with the fans.

Kairi gained stardom from Japan and soon made a move to the WWE. She was the best in the NXT for a while till she was called up to RAW. She performs in the mid-card and has not been given enough opportunities to prove herself.

Kairi Sane is yet to win an individual championship, and the only accolade to her WWE career so far is the tag time title with Asuka as the Kabuki Warriors. If the writers were to push Kairi Sane to the title picture, she would surely shine.
