Is there anyone right now that has a huge enough following worldwide or the US to be even considered by the WWE?
Big reason why Khali and Del Rio got quick pushes to become champion was to take advantage of the huge Latino and Indian markets that were also huge WWE markets. Although Khali didn't get a reign with the top belt and instead the lower World title.
Wouldn't be surprised if the first real Asian champion comes from China more than Japan considering how huge of a market the WWE could generate if it was from China like how the NBA benefited huge from Yao Ming's presence in the NBA. Japan and the Samoan Islands produce great wrestlers but don't come close to the huge market China could bring in for the WWE if the champion was from there.
