In the early days of the often eerie Pandemic Era of professional wrestling, few stars managed to captivate those sitting at home in this unsettling new world quite like the terrific Empress of Tomorrow.

This ability to constantly entertain on commentary and inside of the deafeningly silent squared-circle deservedly led to the company putting the Money in the Bank briefcase on the star following on from another rather surreal occurrence - that of the Climb the Corporate Ladder Money in the Bank car-crash.

Yet, as we now all know, Asuka didn't actually win a contract to cash-in on a world title shot of her choosing. The charismatic sensation had seized hold of the Raw Women's Championship, with Becky Lynch revealing as much during an emotional farewell to the company as she embarked on her next adventure as The Mom.

It was later revealed that Asuka had no clue the belt was in the briefcase on the night of MITB itself. And despite being made aware of her unexpected title victory the night after, she also hadn't the slightest clue Lynch was with child; meaning her overjoyed response to The Man's revelation was a thing of legit beauty.
