5 Things WWE must do on next week's RAW

#4. Give Asuka a dominant win

Asuka needs a dominant win before the Royal Rumble.

It's no secret that taking a Superstar off television can hurt their momentum and that is exactly the result of Asuka's absence from last week's RAW. Unfortunately for WWE, this came only a few weeks out from Asuka's title match against Becky Lynch, which is why the company needs to start building her back up again.

With 'The Empress of Tomorrow' in need of a statement victory between now and her upcoming Royal Rumble title opportunity against Becky Lynch, why not sacrifice a top Superstar on RAW to make that happen? Maybe WWE could even use Charlotte Flair as that stepping stone for Asuka and really give her the momentum she needs heading into the Royal Rumble.

Of course some might claim this would come at the expense of Charlotte Flair, who has just started her face turn at the end of the year, but 'The Queen' is arguably the one high profile Superstar who could afford a loss right now. In fact, it could go a long way in helping fans build up sympathy for her heading into her very first Royal Rumble match.

In the end, Asuka needs a win and Charlotte needs the fans to get behind her more. Both can easily be accomplished by giving Asuka a win over Charlotte on RAW, something the company would be wise to get behind.
