Spoiler: Asuka's pocketed a sh*tload of snowflakes.

Kept protected and preserved on NXT, Asuka's efforts on TakeOver events almost always matched the prestige audience had quickly associated with the brand. Slotting in not just an unstoppable force but also a talented one, the 'Empress Of Tomorrow' raced in front and stayed their thanks to her sensational skill carrying the division following the protracted exits of Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks and Bayley.

Against 'The Hugger', Asuka received ***3/4 and **** for their Dallas and Brooklyn clashes respectively, whilst the electric singles battles with Ember Moon in 2017 (****1/4 and ****1/2) edged her even closer to the perfect score.

Moon and Bayley are of course sensational performers in their own right, but Asuka had already earned her baggage handling certificate by the time she faced stiffer competition. On the rare occasions she wrestles, Dana Brooke looks amongst the worst on the entire Raw roster - Asuka got a ***1/4 squash from their fight.

And it was no fluke - the **** she received for her NXT TakeOver match against Emma just two months later under-served both women's efforts.
