Move over Asuka.

The SmackDown star won't be the only Japanese female starlet lighting up 2K19's roster. Current NXT Women's Champion Kairi Sane, who bagged the belt at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV by beating Shayna Baszler, will also be involved for the first time.

Sane was one of the most popular downloads in 2K18's Community Creations suite, and with good reason. Her anime-meets-pirate entrance gear is as gorgeous as her ring work is crisp, and it's nice to know we'll be able to kiss those (admittedly well-crafted) CAWs from last year goodbye. They're about to be blown out of the water.
