After battling it out for a little while, both Asuka and Jax were outside the ring. The two Superstars apparently forgot to return back to the squared circle as they kept brawling right outside the ring. As a result, the referee counted them both out, and Asuke ended up retaining her championship.
Asuka, who was evidently disappointed with this finish, used the apron of the ring to deliver a final attack on Jax before she left with her title.
What's next for Asuka and Nia Jax on WWE RAW?
Given the fact that the finish to the championship match between Asuka and Nia Jax was quite disappointing, it appears that the two Superstars might continue to feud on WWE RAW. It is important to note that Nia Jax has never defeated Asuka in her entire WWE career. However, she did not look so impressive inside the ring tonight and it will be surprising to see her in the championship picture following this match.
As for Asuka, she is one of the best female wrestlers in not just WWE, but also in the entire pro-wrestling business. It will be interesting if WWE decides to get the rest of the RAW Women's roster to challenge Asuka -- a decision that will benefit the likes of Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, and others.
