WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Asuka forces NXT’s Kayden Carter to tap out to the Asuka Lock. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more

With a WWE Women’s Tag Team Title defense ahead of her this weekend, Asuka is feeling herself in a major way. In fact, we got The Empress of Tomorrow of old on Raw, from the sneering taunt of “nobody is ready for Asuka” to the minutes-long decimation of NXT’s Kayden Carter, whom she submitted easily with the Asuka Lock.

The Empress of Tomorrow’s trash talk didn’t stop after the match; she got on the commentary table and furiously addressed Tag Title challengers Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross from the headset. Given that the screed was in her native Japanese, it wasn’t clear exactly what she was saying. Given what she just did to Carter, it’s unlikely that a translation was needed.
