10 big things Asuka has accomplished in WWE

#6 First to win a last woman standing match

The real first

Much respect to Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, whose last woman standing match is my fifth best WWE match of 2018, and the best main roster match. Still, while it did exceed its predecessor, it wasn't the first.

In June of last year, Asuka and Nikki Cross put on a war as they battled to see who would be the last woman standing. It was the first match of its kind and showed the way forward that Charlotte and Becky would ultimately follow a year later.

With Nikki Cross now main roster-bound, and probably to SmackDown, the thoughts of many a fan are no doubt turning toward this match, and hoping that we'll see a repeat now that Asuka is carrying the gold on Tuesday nights.

Will Nikki Cross try to get the job done that she couldn't last time? It's a good reason to tune in.
