#3 WWE RAW Women's Champion - Asuka
Asuka had her first reign as WWE RAW Women's Champion interrupted by Bayley and Sasha Banks. It was mainly to set up a big match/program for the Empress of Tomorrow at SummerSlam. WWE did the same thing last year by having Brock Lesnar win Money in the Bank and cash in on Set Rollins. Rollins would go on to win the title back a month later.

Outside of Shayna Baszler, there isn't a woman on the RAW roster that should feasibly defeat Asuka. Nia Jax is an opposing opponent but has traditionally lost when facing the Empress of Tomorrow. She's also only mediocre on the mic. Asuka, despite her limited English, is still more entertaining in promos than most of the women in WWE.

Mandy Rose, who just got shipped to RAW, and Bianca Belair, could challenge Asuka at some point in the next few months. But there could be a possibility that Asuka holds on to the title until Becky Lynch or Charlotte Flair returns. Flair will likely return before Lynch as the latter is pregnant. But regardless, Asuka should remain RAW Women's Champ until the Royal Rumble at the very least.
