5 WWE Superstars who desperately need to return to SmackDown

#4. Asuka - Is a jump to SmackDown needed for The Empress?

Asuka held the SmackDown Women's Championship for a short while from late 2018 to early 2019

This would be the most appropriate move to make for the SmackDown Women's division later this year in the WWE Draft. Asuka has been on RAW for a while now, and after Becky Lynch took a hiatus post-pregnancy announcement, it was The Empress who was chosen to be the face of RAW.

On the main roster, her first Championship success came in the form of the SmackDown Women's Championship - where she dethroned Lynch and also defeated Charlotte Flair in an incredible TLC main event.

After Asuka spent nearly a year as the face of the RAW Women's division, she was dethroned by newcomer Rhea Ripley and she even took a pinfall at WrestleMania Backlash.

Asuka seems to be out of the RAW Women's title picture, and that's probably what's best for her. In the upcoming draft later this year, she is better off moving to SmackDown, with another big name presumably switching brands.

After her dominance of RAW, a move to the Blue brand would help her career and be a boost to the brand's women's division.
