Considered by many experts to be one of the top wrestlers in the world — male or female —Kairi Sane recently made her WWE debut. By winning the inaugural Mae Young Classic, she has already secured a spot in the history books less than a month after her debut.

Sane combines agility and timing with the stage presence that only a trained actor can bring to bear. Her acting isn't the only thing on par with Hollywood, as Kairi Sane is one of the most beautiful women in wrestling today. Now prominently placed on the NXT brand, she may make 2018 her breakout year, but she will have a hard time living up to the legacy Asuka left behind.

Strongest Assets: Wrestling ability, fearlessness, and glamour girl good looks.

What might hold her back: Sane speaks English as her second language. The fans have accepted Asuka's halting command of the tongue, but will they accept another so willingly? Kairi also is in danger of being seen as 'Asuka Lite' and needs to distinguish herself from the former NXT champion.
