5 botches and outrageous moments from WWE Raw (February 19, 2018)

#2 Forgetting lines

It has to be difficult to come to another country that speaks a language completely different from your native tongue. Even with this barrier, Asuka has still risen to the top of the card, becoming one of the hottest acts while remaining unbeaten. Her promos are typically still good because they're kept brief and to the point. Unfortunately, WWE tried to push the boundary too far on Raw.

There's nothing wrong with Asuka's pronunciation of English words and she seems to grasp it well enough, so that's not what's at fault here. The problem is that she simply forgot her lines. She noticeably was adding in several pauses because she was trying super hard to remember what to say. She smoothened it all over with a charming smile at the end, which admittedly does get her at least partly off the hook.

Also, there was a brief wardrobe malfunction by the 'Empress of Tomorrow' during Raw. That's not getting covered in this article, so you can search for that on your own time.
