Last Summer former WWE Creative Writer Freddie Prinze, Jr. asserted on his podcast that Vince held cultural bias against his Asian superstars for whom English was their second language! That is true and why Asuka, Nakamura, Shirai and others haven’t reached their potential in part because they can’t deliver compelling interviews and promos! Hunter elevated Asuka to greatness on NXT and now seems to be doing the same for transformed Asuka who has reverted to her Kana persona from her time wrestling in Japan! I have to believe he will put Asuka over and she will dethrone the EST to vindicate her from Vince’s past sins! He knows she is in the twilight of her impressive career and deserves to bask in the glory of her first WM title match win! Achieving this last remaining milestone will cement her legacy as one of the greatest female wrestlers and sports entertainers in WWE history! It’s now or never and Hunter must deliver for the popular and humble Empress! It’s only right and long overdue!
