5 Women Who Could Defeat Asuka
4. Nikki Cross
Nikki Cross has shown on a number of occasions already that she isn't intimidated by Asuka and is every bit as willing to get kicked in the face as she is to do the kicking. Cross is yet to get a singles opportunity against the 'Empress of Tomorrow', instead having to make do with getting taken out of multi-woman matches by Billie Kay and Peyton Royce. If Cross had a one-on-one shot, could she be the one to hand Asuka her first defeat?
The woman from Glasgow certainly has the ability and she isn't short on the craziness that one needs to be successful in battle against WWE's most violent female. Whilst Cross could certainly get the job done on her own, it is who surrounds her that could make her a truly viable option to dethrone Asuka as NXT Women's Champion.
Cross is a member of the faction known as SAnitY and the weirdo quartet have shown on a number of occasions that they are willing to allow their numerical advantage help them in putting opponents down. Asuka may be able to defeat Billie Kay and Peyton Royce on her own but the distraction of Eric Young, Killian Dain, and Alexander Wolfe could be too much.
