Thankfully, the match I've just described wasn't the only women's contest on the card. Io Shirai squared off with Candice LeRae earlier in the night, in what was a thrilling match. And this induces me to make a very bold prediction.

I know that Shinsuke Nakamura, Asuka, and Kairi Sane haven't really had the same level of success in the main roster that they did in NXT. I will go and say that Shirai will be the first Japanese Superstar that breaks through from the NXT system and establishes herself as a star when she gets called up.

Her character looks modern, sleek, and most importantly, she works brilliantly as a top heel. Even though language may prove to be a problem for her, once she is called up, Shirai has all the attributes needed to break out and establish herself as a Superstar!
