Asuka defends her RAW Women's Championship against Nia Jax this weekend just weeks after Becky Lynch handed the Money In The Bank ladder match winner the Championship - having been forced to walk away from WWE due to her pregnancy.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

Asuka has been a force to be reckoned with throughout much of her time in WWE. "The Empress of Tomorrow" is both a former Royal Rumble winner and a Grand Slam Champion. Recently, Nia Jax cut a promo in the build-up to the match where she stated that when she and Asuka step in the ring there is only ever one outcome, indicating that she believes that she has Asuka's number.

History tells a different story, though. When Asuka and Jax have crossed paths in the past, it's been Asuka who has come out on top. In fact, Asuka has already defeated Jax with a version of the Women's Championship on the line, back at NXT Takeover: The End in 2016 when Jax failed in her bid to win the NXT Women's Championship.

Asuka also feuded with Jax upon her arrival to WWE's main roster and once again got the better of "The Irresistible Force".
