It's hard to imagine a better pair of antagonists than Asuka and Bayley - one a dominant, all-conquering heel and the other a woman with a disposition so friendly that her gimmick is literally about hugging people.

Throw in the fact that Bayley had already tasted defeat to Asuka, surrendering her NXT Women's title four months prior in Dallas, and this had all the makings of a classic underdog story.

Like all great underdog stories, the hero came up just short (and we sort of guessed that would happen since super-over Bayley couldn't really be held back from the main roster any longer).

It was wrestling 101, and the pair of them told an enormously compelling story in the 15 minutes they were given.
