Having feuded throughout the first half of 2017, Asuka and Nikki Cross' rivalry finally came to ahead mid-year on NXT's weekly show, which was rapidly improving at the time and beginning to air pay-per-view quality matches on a regular basis.

Cross, playing a psychotic heel who was obsessed with trying to beat her arch nemesis, went on a rampage, employing the use of multiple chairs in an attempt to end the reign of the undefeated champion.

Asuka, for her part, survived everything Cross threw at her and reciprocated with her own use of weaponry.

The champ even used a garbage can placed on Cross' head and repeatedly kicked it before laying out Cross with a missile dropkick from the top rope onto the metal can.

This entire match was beautiful in its brutality and showcased both wrestlers' strengths to the maximum degree.

Nikki Cross was vicious in powerbombing Asuka onto a stack of chairs on the outside. But Asuka showed she could be just as dangerous when she superplexed Cross off a ladder into the announce table, securing the win after Cross failed to get up for the 10 count.
