Ranking every SmackDown Women's Champion in the SmackDown Live era from worst to best

#4 Asuka

Asuka had won the SmackDown Women's Championship at the TLC pay-per-view

The Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka grabbed the SmackDown Women’s Championship at a point when the entire focus of the WWE Universe was on the women’s division. The feud between Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch had reached the next level but amid all the tensions, the Japanese superstar, Asuka won her first title on the main roster.

Despite having a massive undefeated streak during the initial stage of her career, Asuka was never booked to win a Championship until then. Her time finally arrived at TLC 2018 where she beat the two megastars of the women’s division, Charlotte and Becky to take the title home.

She then had an outstanding match with Becky Lynch at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view which was followed by a short feud with Mandy Rose. The only sour thing about Asuka’s title reign was the way it concluded.

With the intent of adding higher stakes to the WrestleMania 35 main event, WWE decided to end Asuka’s reign abruptly at the hands of Flair who then lost the title to Becky Lynch, and Asuka never got her rematch.

Currently, Asuka is holding the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships along with Kairi Sane.
