During the tag team match on RAW between Lana and Naomi against Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke, Asuka made her return. After reportedly suffering a concussion on the RAW after Elimination Chamber last month, The Empress of Tomorrow is finally back.

It's good to see the RAW Women's Champion back in action, as it was implied from the rumors that she could miss WrestleMania. Not only did she return to RAW, but she faced Shayna Baszler as well. In a bit of a dusty finish, she pinned Baszler, who had her shoulders down while getting choked.

In a move to gain heat, Baszler tried hitting the RAW Women's Champion with the same kick that took her out. But Asuka caught her leg and decimated her - showing an edge that we haven't seen in a while.

It's good to have her back, but despite her crossing paths with Shayna Baszler, it seems inevitable that Charlotte Flair will be her opponent at WrestleMania 37.
