Let her squash talent for a few months. Let girls look afraid to come down to the ring (Braun style). Let her beat up 2 girls at the same time. Let the crowd see her strikes.

She doesn't need to win the belt immediately. It worked for Paige because AJ was champion and had been forever.
This scenario is almost backwards. Keep Asuka away from the belt for a little while.

Squashing enhancement talent does literally nothing for somebody in 2017. The crowd knows what's happening and knows it means literally knowing. It just creates 'lets go jobber' chants..which..while hilarious don't do anything in terms of helping put over talent.
It SEMI worked with Braun because he kept demanding more and more and more...but with Nia? Stupid and pointless.

The point of a squash match is to highlight something, and that does something for the wrestler for sure. There are levels of failure attached, but it's very trivial to get use of out of them. And that's ignoring the fact that it's fun seeing jobbers getting killed.

Also Nia isn't very good. No one wants to watch her squash people.
Braun is so over the top it was fun. Asuka murdering and screaming in Japanese can be fun.
Didn't they do that with her when she first got to NxT?
I still think Becky or Bayley should be the Asuka slayer, but I don't think Sasha would be a bad choice either. I really want to see that match.
Edit: the one thing though is you have to play up her undefeated streak. It is a money part of her character so I don't think you let ge kill jobbers for too long.

Becky Lynch is the obvious name as the one to eventually beat Asuka. If you wanted a clean win, that would be the way I'd go. Becky loses until she finally overcomes Asuka.
The other direction you could go (and I'd lean against it) is having someone like Alexa cheat her out of it and you get the huge heel heat to go along with that.
The last time they had a streak like this going was probably Ryback heading in to Hell in a Cell against Punk. While Ryback isn't even in the same league of worker that Asuka is, that booking decision definitely didn't help him either and probably quickened his fall.

why is my name here?
We all know Vince will build asuka up until wrestlemania where she'll face charlotte in a huge match that will see charlotte go over.

The Ryback bit wasn't really planned. They were forced into doing it due to injuries, and Ryback was the one who lost out in the re-booking. So it's not like they wanted to mess him up.
But if Vince gets it in his mind to make Asuka a monster, then I've got 100% faith in him. He's consistently great at it. It's just a case of getting him to want to do that.
That being said, I want a Sasha vs Asuka match that is a real match. So I'm perfectly fine with her not being booked unstoppably powerful.

If Bayley is the one who will go over Asuka eventually, she needs to beat her with a different finisher. Bayley-to-Belly is not worthy at all

She's not good on the mic. It's not one of her strengths unless she's allowed to rant in Japanese.
So as a weakness I'm sure they'll force her to cut a long promo at the start which will induce the what chants and Vince will get mad and go to plan B because he no longer has any foresight.

She is a good talker. She just isn't good at English.
She doesn't need to cut big promos though. You just book her like Brock

But if there are so many segments and so much television for her on Raw or Smackdown, she will eventually need a talker to keep her going. Eventually.

Asuka could speak perfect English and I wouldn't care. People aren't interested in hearing her talk. They're interested in seeing her kill people.

Same. I only ever need a few of her bad English lines where she mocks her opponent, tell them they talk too much, or screams about how no one is ready.
Also that line about how the Sun outshines the Moon was a pretty awesome one.
