If Asuka continues turning in performances like she did at NXT TakeOver: London, there's no solid case against moving her up to the main WWE roster in 2016. The Japanese grappler's style is just so interesting to watch. Even when she delivers strikes, the way Asuka's arms flail around - something aided by the tassels on her outfit - is exciting to watch. It's important not to discount the part Emma played in making the WWE Network opener feel special. These women were given 15 minutes to work with, which is longer than a lot of women's matches on regular WWE television. NXT is often different, but this one could have easily fallen apart had both wrestlers not been on top form. Emma more than held up her end of the bargain. There was only one result which would satisfy the crowd in London however, and it had to be an Asuka win. Her performance was so dynamic that the match could arguably be considered a show-stealer. Everything she used, be that strikes or German Suplexes, looked awesome. It's only a matter of time before Asuka meets Bayley for the NXT Women's Title, and that will be a match not to miss.
