5. Asuka's Urgency And Fire
After Asuka saved Bayley and Carmella and stared down the NXT Women's Champion last week, she suddenly became the most interesting woman on the NXT roster. In her match with Deonna, the Empress of Tomorrow continued to show her passion and aggression as she made short work of the newcomer, finishing her off with one of her lethal kicks. Asuka's character works so well because whenever she's in the ring there's a sense of urgency that she needs to win the match, because doing so will get her one step closer to her ultimate goal of being NXT Women's Champion. When a wrestler gets the upper hand, the former Kana gets a fire in her belly and starts fighting back with offence that we've never really seen before in WWE. She continues to impress me each and every week.
