I'm in a good place now and I'm ready to step into the next fight with full focus. I’ve started to really feel a strong sense of rhythm and control. Time to shift into a higher gear.

Former WWE Superstar Shelly Martinez shared her thoughts on the Asuka vs. Jade Cargill match
Shelly Martinez, who competed on WWE's version of ECW under the ring name Ariel, was critical of Asuka and Jade Cargill's match. Speaking on Ring The Belle, she said she felt that the bout was rushed and that she didn't realize how green Cargill was.
"I felt like some of the spots could have been executed a little bit better, and it would have made it more impactful. It would have put over both of them, and in my head, I was like, 'Are they being rushed right now?' I didn't realize that the Jade girl was green. Maybe it was just her thinking of the next spot cause she's nervous and doesn't want to mess up. I get that, and the executions with that finish, it just would have been, so even the that hook on the leg, I'm like, 'Come on!'" Martinez said.
Asuka is not on the WWE Evolution poster, but it would be surprising if she doesn't compete on the show.
