Who will Asuka face for the NXT Women's Championship next?

Asuka is an excellent performer who has a lot of success since coming to NXT in late 2015. Her popularity took a noticeable drop when she won the championship from fan-favorite Bayley at NXT Takeover: Dallas, but this hasn't stopped her.



Not a lot has happened since she won the title but next week on NXT she will face Eva Marie in a match that was taped at Wrestlemania Axxes, but with Eva Marie being called back up to the main roster, the chances of her feuding with Asuka for her championship are slim to say the least witch leaves us wondering who will Asuka face next? Bayley has made her feelings toward Asuka known and she has stated on NXT over the last 2 weeks that she wants to win back the title in a rematch (which she is owed), and Alexa Bliss has made her intentions clear when it comes to the title.

Bayley will most likely be getting a call up to the main roster soon which leaves me to think that even if she does ever get a rematch, it most likely won't lead to a second title reign.

Alexa Bliss, on the other hand, will most likely remain at NXT for a while so it is possible that she will be Asuka's next challenger but I don't see her taking the belt as she isn't ready just yet, and not only that, Asuka has been built up as this unstoppable force in NXT that has yet to lose a match, so for her to drop the title to Alexa Bliss would probably leave fans extremely unhappy, and it wouldn't be too believable. 

That leads me to Nia Jax. 

Nia has only lost two matches on NXT; one at Takeover: London against Bayley in a championship match and the other was a tag team match with Eva Marie against Bayley and Asuka herself, and in the latter it was Eva who was pinned after a miscalculated leg drop from Jax. Asuka vs Nia would be a very interesting feud as both these women have a unique style and nobody else on the roster is like them. Nia has squashed many an opponent on NXT with Deonna Purazzo being the latest victim on last nights NXT so Nia being the one to knock Asuka from the top of the division would be very believable. Asuka could go on the main roster (many believe this will happen soon, even after such a short time in NXT) or feud with Nia for a while after dropping the title. With the lack of the four horsewomen, Emma, Eva and possibly Nia; the NXT women's division would be at an all time low which would mean Nia Jax could have a very dominant, lengthy run with the title while they build up some of the other women to become fan favorites, dominant heels, and all round great performers. It is developmental after all.

Those are just a few ideas, and if you have any let us know in the comments.
