10 Impulse Reactions To The First EVER Empty Arena WWE Raw
4. Asuka Is Japanese
An immortal line uttered by WhatCulture.com's Michael Sidgwick back when it was about to see her buried by the company yet again, Asuka's nationality has at long last become of value in this - the most warped WWE timeline ever.
After decades of Vince McMahon deeming non-American incomprehensible gibberish, he's managed to combine the two with this richly rewarding new gimmick for the 'Empress Of Tomorrow'.
Alongside Kairi Sane, she turns up places and screams out all sorts of rage and beyond in her native tongue. That's pretty much her thing now. It's absolutely terrifying, often quite intentionally amusing and so loaded with charismatic charm that The Kabuki Warriors act have managed to default their prop Tag Team Championships by default.
The act completely wrongfooted Tom Phillips, Jerry Lawler and Byron Saxton and created a welcome noise in place of the lack of crowd for the nothing match between Rey Mysterio and Andrade that she called. She danced on SmackDown. She screamed on Raw. She can work whenever they need her to and do it better than just about everybody else - the former NXT Champion is being a perfect Sports Entertainment all-rounder.
