The 41-year-old Asuka is one of the biggest female wrestlers. She has been a WWE mainstay for over seven years at this point and has accomplished enough to warrant a Hall of Fame spot in the distant future.
Asuka won the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match in 2018, has held the Women's Money in the Bank briefcase, and has won singles women's titles on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
Last year, Asuka spoke with ET Canada and opened up about the goals that are still left for her to achieve in the Stamford-based promotion. Here's what she said:
"People all over the world are watching WWE. My goal in WWE is to get more people to know me. I want to share the wonderful cultures of Japanese and Asians as an Asian." [H/T Pro Wrestling]
A quick look at Kana's character is enough to make fans wonder if it's suitable to be shown on weekly TV. Only time will tell if Asuka manages to bring the popular gimmick to the company.
