Asuka responds to challenge from Mickie James

It has been a dream week for Asuka. After winning the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, she didn't have to wait long to become a Women's Champion. It was revealed by Becky Lynch that the Ladder Match at Money in the Bank was actually for the RAW Women's Championship, as The Man was pregnant and had to leave WWE for some time.

Asuka has been celebrating her success over the past few days on social media but was soon challenged by former Women's Champion, Mickie James. A legend and trailblazer of the Women's division in her own right, James responded to Asuka by saying that she was never handed out anything in her career, especially Championships.

The former Women's Champion also said she would be more than happy to challenge Asuka for her crown as well. You can see the tweet below.

Come to think of it @WWEAsuka I’ve NEVER been handed anything in @WWE before, especially a 🏆#WWE Championship... EVER! 🍀 😈 I’d be happy to come OVER & rightfully TAKE it from you. This time you wouldn’t be so lucky. I got your beat, raise you a sweet solo, now let’s duet!😜💋 https://t.co/HG9b09uRjc
