Top 10 Matches of Asuka In WWE

#4 Asuka vs. Sasha Banks (Monday Night RAW Jan. 29, 2018)

Asuka blocks a suicide dive from Banks with a kick

Having won the first ever women's Royal Rumble just one night before, Asuka was challenged by Sasha Banks, who lasted far longer in the match and felt she rightfully deserved the spot that the Empress occupied, on the road to WrestleMania.

Although not on pay-per-view with a huge multi-week build-up, Asuka vs. Sasha Banks was a long-awaited dream match nonetheless, one that lived up to its potential so well that it continues to earn high praise.

Credit Asuka's sheer in-ring skill combined with Banks' tenacity and passion for wrestling as to why this match has gone down as one of Asuka's finest.

The technical prowess was impressive, the multiple spills to the outside (especially Banks' scary-looking suicide dive) were causes to gasp, and the many hip attacks, knee strikes and chain reversals gave the impression of a Stardom match rather than a WWE women's performance.

As easily expected, Asuka sealed the deal with a Bank Statement reversed into an Asuka Lock for the win.
