At WrestleMania, three of the NXT Four Horsewomen will compete in a triple threat match for the Divas Championship. Friday, the fourth of the group had her own big match, defending her NXT Womens Championship against the dangerous Asuka. Unfortunately for Bayley, there was no magic this time, as the huggable one lost her title to Asuka, ending her reign after seven-plus months. However, Bayley and Asuka had an incredible match along the way, trading counters and submission moves left and right. Bayley grabbed a guillotine choke, only for Asuka to counter with an anklelock. Asuka went for a kick and Bayley turned it into a kneebar and then an anklelock of her own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV0pMBNKvVg The two women definitely set a high bar for womens wrestling this weekend in Dallas. Fans were legitimately shocked when Bayley passed out in the Asuka Lock, but they definitely reveled in an awesome match.
