"SHAWN IS THE GOAT," "I cried" - First-time-ever Asuka match on WWE NXT leaves fans flabbergasted

WWE fans were left surprised by a first-time-ever match between two former NXT Women's Champions, Asuka and Roxanne Perez.

On the latest episode of the developmental brand, Perez fought in a triple-threat match against Lyra Valkyria and Indi Hartwell to determine the number-one contender for the NXT Women's Championship. Lyra came out on top in the bout and will face Becky Lynch at Halloween Havoc.

However, multiple announcements were made during the show. The WWE Universe will see a first-time-ever match between Asuka and Roxanne Perez in the next week's episode of NXT. It will mark The Empress of Tomorrow's first appearance on the developmental brand in six years.

WrestleOps recently took to Twitter to post about this announcement, which caught fans' attention. Most were happy to see the match finally happening and believed it would be excellent for Roxanne Perez to go against one of the best female wrestlers in the pro wrestling business.

Some even hailed Shawn Michaels as The GOAT for booking great matches on the developmental show.
