Asuka has had a road full of obstacles, just like Sansa Stark

Sansa started out as a spoiled young debutante who looked down on her lessers, albeit from a good family in the Starks.
The Starks treated most people with respect, but like a lot of kids, she was a little bratty as a child and teenage girl.

But once she experienced the harshness of the real world, including her marriage to Joffrey, her marriage to Ramsay Bolton and her 'alliance' with Littlefinger, she became a hardened woman due to her experiences.
Asuka was a world-beater even before she joined the WWE, but her aura was kept as strong as she embarked on an unprecedented winning streak in NXT. It would carry over to the main roster, but she found out that things are different on the main roster.
Once she ran into the golden girl at WrestleMania 34, she found out that no matter how long a winning streak you may have, they can all be broken.
She did get to the top by winning the Royal Rumble and winning the SmackDown Women's Title almost a year later, but once again, like Sansa's forced marriages, she found out that not everything is as easy and rosy as we'd like.
Both women have displayed incredible resolve, however, and are still dangerous to their enemies, whether it be physically like Asuka or mentally like Sansa.
