The Empress of Tomorrow won't let Ronda Rousey impede on her dominance over the WWE
Asuka spent a year and a half completely dominating NXT. Running through stars like Bayley, Nikki Cross, Peyton Royce, and Ember Moon, Asuka's reign as NXT Women's Champion is still considered by many to be the greatest title reign in NXT history.

Her time on the main roster has also been impressive, especially since she won the first ever Women's Royal Rumble. However, her moment was stolen from her by the debuting Ronda Rousey, who strolled down the ring to take away her spotlight.
The eyes of the WWE Universe should've been on the Empress, but they instead fell on Ronda, and Asuka would not have forgotten that moment.
Asuka's brutal hard-hitting style mixed with her submission expertise would allow her to hold her own against Ronda Rousey, even leaving fans wondering if Rousey could weather the storm of the Empress of Tomorrow.
