Asuka Hit Legendary WWE Landmark At Elimination Chamber 2023
Asuka is now among iconic company following her WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 win.
Asuka accomplished a feat matched only by John Cena, Randy Orton, Edge, and Brock Lesnar in WWE this weekend.
By triumphing in the eponymous women's match at Elimination Chamber 2023 (18 February), Asuka became the first women's wrestler in WWE history to take a Chamber match, Money In The Bank, and the Royal Rumble. Cena, Orton, Edge, and Lesnar are the only wrestlers who have ever accomplished such a feat.

By triumphing in the women's Chamber, Asuka has earned the chance to face Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39 (1 & 2 April). Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Carmella were all eliminated by Asuka on the road to victory, though Natalya gave her an assist with Morgan - and Carmella with Rodriguez. Nikki Cross was also in the bout, though she was eliminated first, by Raquel.
Asuka's Royal Rumble win came in 2018, though she was unsuccessful in the ensuing title shot against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34. Two years later, the Japanese star won MITB, landing the Raw Women's Title when Becky Lynch announced her pregnancy on the following night's Raw.
