Before they ever arrived on WWE RAW, Asuka and Shayna Baszler were both forces of nature in NXT. Asuka's NXT reign was part of her whole undefeated streak and until not very long ago, Shayna Baszler was the NXT Women's Champion.
The two women will clash inside the Elimination Chamber in a week, but for now, they will give us a preview of the action on RAW. This is going to be a match for the purists, since both women are protected more often than not, and they are two of the best-ever in the ring, in the women's division.

It's also interesting that these two women will take each other on, because they are both heels and it's very seldom that we see one heel take another on, at least in today's WWE. Will it be the submission skills and the savagery of Shayna Baszler that allow her to pick up the win, or will even she be forced to tap out because nobody, and I mean nobody at all is ready for Asuka?
