How did Nia Jax defeat Asuka?
Team RAW (Mickie James, Nia Jax, Tamina, Bayley and Sasha Banks) defeated Team SmackDown (Naomi, Carmella, Sonya Deville, Asuka and Mandy Rose) in the women’s five-on-five elimination match at Survivor Series 2018.

The finish to the match saw Jax connect with multiple leg drops on Asuka before slamming her to the mat with a Samoan Drop to pick up the victory for her team as the sole survivor.
Why did Nia Jax defeat Asuka?
Six days before Survivor Series, Becky Lynch led a SmackDown invasion of RAW.
In what turned out to be one of the most iconic images in RAW history, Lynch suffered a broken nose following a heavy punch from Nia Jax and she ended the show by posing in the stands with blood pouring down her face.
Lynch was unable to take on Ronda Rousey due to the injury, so the Survivor Series crowd reacted to Jax’s entrance (and everything she did in the match) with almighty boos.
Given the reactions that the former RAW Women’s Champion received that night, it made sense for WWE to take advantage of the situation by allowing her to pin Asuka, who was the most popular SmackDown Superstar in the match.
