#5 Asuka (Smackdown Live Women's champion)

The Empress of Tomorrow
The Empress of Tomorrow

Real Name: Kanako Urai

Years as a professional: 15 (veteran.)

Wrestling style: Striking, submissions, and technical wrestling.

The Empress of Tomorrow has had one of the more glorious WWE runs in history. She practically owned the NXT brand during her tenure there, turning back the challenge of every single opponent that was placed in front of her.

In fact, she never lost the NXT women's championship, but instead relinquished it in order to join the main roster. Her undefeated streak continued until she tapped out to Charlotte at last year's wrestlemania event. Will she keep her title this year?

Chances of leaving Wrestlemania 35 with the title: 90-10. Most likely, Asuka will either face Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, or perhaps both women in a triple threat. While WWE is interested in elevating Rose, it doesn't feel like she's quite ready for the championship yet. Given that Asuka lost last year at the biggest show, it seems quite likely she will retain.
