#2 Asuka showed her true colors on WWE RAW
A few weeks ago on WWE RAW, Shayna Baszler knocked one of Asuka's teeth out. This week, The Empress of Tomorrow was out for revenge, and she also hoped to build some momentum on the road to WrestleMania.

Asuka showed a more aggressive side on Monday night when she attacked The Queen of Spades before the bell. Many fans quickly compared this version of Asuka to the one that dominated her competition on NXT.
Ultimately, the two women tried to lock in their signature submission holds on each other. The Empress won the exchange when she reversed the Kirifuda Clutch into a pin and picked up the victory.
After the match, Baszler tried to attack Asuka again, but the RAW Women’s Champion snapped and brutally assaulted her opponent. Asuka targeted Baszler's teeth, and the referee had to stop her from doing any more damage to The Queen of Spades.
This clash offered fans the chance to watch a good match between two of RAW's best wrestlers. Plus, the RAW Women’s Champion showed a new edge, and this change could reinvigorate her run on the red brand.
Asuka’s title reign has been forgettable up to this point, but Monday night could have marked the beginning of a compelling storyline for the champion.
