#8 Asuka
"2018 will be the year of Asuka" - Michael Cole.

RAW's most disliked announcer never says anything randomly, because he has Vince McMahon constantly buzzing in his ear. If Michael Cole said that, he did so for a reason.

As good as Asuka's 2016 and 2017 were, they now feel like warmups. 2018 will be her career's peak. She stands as the favourite to win the inaugural women's Royal Rumble match and made her intentions very clear when she knocked Alexa Bliss out on Christmas. Asuka is coming for the RAW Women's Championship and she'll likely get it on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
A long reign will follow that will see her take on all comers. Asuka was part of the two best women's matches of 2017 and her reign on RAW won't be terribly different. Defending her title in thrilling contests, her aura and stature will grow that much more legendary in 2018 as it seems impossible to take her down, no matter what anyone throws at her.
