It's no secret that WWE sign people in order to capitalise on a specific international market. Yoshi Tatsu for Asia, Sin Cara for Mexico/Latin America, but most notably Khali for the Indian/Arabic market.
The question is, in your opinion, who SHOULD be their 'international stars'. They don't specifically have to be the biggest names in that area. I'd personally go for people who would fit into WWE more.
Asia Whilst I'd like to say KENTA, he's far from fitting for WWE. I'd go more for Kazuchika Okada or more notably, Kota Ibushi.
Mexico Whilst Sin Cara is clearly one of the most popular to come from Mexico, and as much as I think he's great, he's not reached the heights expected of him. Probably due to him bypassing development. If they'd anticipated how ADR would do as a face, him staying as Dos Caras would have made a lot of sense and been very good. I actually think WWE would benefit from signing Dragon Lee, the new Mistico. Extremely young, talented with a long career to come.
India/Arabic I'm not really sure on this, but if I was to go for any, Sonjay Dutt would make sense.
Who would you choose, and what other markets do you think the WWE could go for?

Mexico Alberto Del Rio is perfect
India Jinder Mahal. While he is a Canadian and not a native of India , he speaks the language(s) and I assume was raised in Indian culture, and thus provides a perfect bridge between India and North America
Arab World I'm not sure who could represent the Arabs either, but maybe Daivari.

There were rumors a few weeks ago that WWE wants to sign Kazuchika Okada to be their big Japanese superstar.
I think Alberto Del Rio is great as their Mexican superstar.

Shouldn't they find someone who is popular and draws in those places no matter where they are from? It seems wrong that will trot out Yoshi Tatsu for a tour of Japan but once they are done we never see him again. They should find someone that transcends the cultures, someone that appeals to everyone.

I think maybe that those people are the guys like Punk, Cena, Rey, etc. I think the OP meant the Yoshi spot for where which guy should be that countries "represenative" in WWE
