On the UK title, Dunne is off the PROGRESS US shows due to injury. He had eleven stitches to a cut on his head, so won't be cleared to wrestle tonight. He was going to face Gallagher on the show.
Asuka is the best thing going in NXT.
She is my last hope to save the main roster for the women. Deep down I know bad news is incoming.

If they were doing things right, Bayley, Sasha, and Becky would all lose before Bayley finally beats her. If things were done right.

I would have Becky beat Asuka, not Bayley.
I'm pretty confident that Asuka will be on Raw. They just simply need more women, they've been rotating the top 4 women they've had for a year now, with the only change being when they traded Charlotte for Alexa. She also shouldn't be on the same brand as Nakamura. I could see Asuka winning the title as soon as the night after Summerslam.
Have her beat Alexa for it on RAW, Aug 21st. Would mark. This puts dents in the Sasha/Bayley plan most likely tho, you gotta think thats their plan heading into Mania and the build up could begin in january. Asuka shouldn't be a place holder till January.
So have her squash Noami on Tuesday and hold the belt forever, have her take on Charlotte for a while, then Becky, then have a Triple Threat at Mania.
Cien needs a push or to be called up. He has floundered around in NXT so either do something with him there or move him up. Itami and Jose are in the same boat. All 3 should be moved when the superstar shake up happens.
The problem is that you are relying on Asuka being able to be a heel. As the NXT run has show, it's really hard to have a Goldberg character be a heel. Especially when they're awesome.
Fans like winners. Who knew?

That's fine for a character in general, but I don't think it works when you are going for the 'underdog babyface finally beats the unstoppable champion' story.I'd be onboard with them treating Asuka like they tried to in a few NXT epis - in public she's very much the face, loves fans, etc. In private/backstage, she's a complete and total heel to the rest of the talent, to interviewers, etc.

If they can't get over in NXT, they aren't going to work on RAW or SD. Do you really want to see them job every week because that's all they'll ever do on the main roster.
It depends on which brand she goes to, so probably after a shakeup.
She should dominate whichever brand she goes to, so for basically a whole year again be undefeated then when she gets put to the next brand she can lose to either Becky or Bayley (depending on the brand)
Bayley makes sense story wise due to their past in NXT but if she's still being booked like a NERD like she is now then no way
It could really help Becky as well if she gets some solid booking leading up.
I'd be happy with either or but Asuka needs to be a monster for a while before the rub is given to one o the ladies, hence why I said maybe after a trade/shakeup because she runs through RAW or SD for the whole year then loses later
Well at some point you have to **** or get off the pott. And Itami/Jose/Cien have gotten over in NXT, but I just don't see them becoming NXT title level with all the talent in NXT.
Look at the drifter. He was never going to go anywhere in NXT so they moved him up. The point of NXT is eventually for these guys to go to the main roster or go home. All 3 IMO have reached their ceiling in NXT so either go up or go home. Itami should hit 205, Cien on SDL and Jose on Raw.
He's an undercard act doing undercard things, that's not something I'd really call strong.Elias was also booked to get his ass kicked every week in NXT.
On RAW he is actually booked strong.
