Asuka has proven to be one of the most dominant Champion WWE has seen in years since winning the NXT Women’s Championship back in April 2016 by defeating Bayley.
She held the title for an impressive 500+ days before being forced to relinquish it during the latest NXT tapings due to an injury she suffered during NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III.
While it was unfortunate to see her historic title reign coming to an end this way, it also opened the door to a lot of new possibilities for the Japanese star as William Regal announced that he has started negotiating to send Asuka to the main roster.
Since then people have been speculating what WWE may have planned for the future of the NXT Star and now it appears the possible plans for her main roster debut have been revealed.
Former WWE employee and friend of the site James McKenna indicated on twitter that Asuka will be joining the Raw Brand and would be debuting at the upcoming Raw exclusive PPV TLC in October after recovering from her injury:
throwing it out there – from what i am hearing w/ recovery of her injury. first appearance for asuka is slated to be oct's TLC in Minnesota.

While these plans are not a done deal just yet considering the fact that Bobby Roode made his debut on SmackDown it looks likely that the Empress Of Tomorrow will become the part of the Raw roster.
