The March 5 2018, Raw bout between Royal Rumble winner and the unbeaten, Asuka versus Nia Jax was very much a case of the irresistible force versus the immovable object.

Both women were on a roll and the pair would challenge for the two Women's Championships at Wrestlemania 34 the following month.

This bout was part of a mini-programme between the two women. Jax dominated the early exchanges with her power offence before Asuka managed to respond with leg kicks.

Jax hoisted Asuka up into a fireman’s carry into the military press drop. That looked brutal.

Jax missed a leg drop which led to Asuka attempting the cross armbar. Jax managed to get to her knees as Asuka switched to a triangle choke. Jax managed to force a powerbomb but incredibly Asuka did not release the hold. Jax tried everything she could, but not get the "Empress of Tomorrow" to release the submission. As Jax flagged and fell to he feet, Asuka switched back the armbar and forced the submission.

A thrilling end to end contest which established the pair as two of the premier female performers on the Raw brand.
