Asuka is a professional wrestler from Japan. She has been with WWE since August 2015 and competes on the Raw brand. She teams with Kairi Sane as part of The Kabuki Warriors.
She joined WWE in 2015 and started in NXT, becoming the first Japanese woman signed by WWE in more than 20 years. In 2016, she won the NXT Women’s Championship and held it for 510 days, which is the longest reign in the title’s history. She moved to the main roster in 2017. In 2018, she won the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match.
Asuka has won the SmackDown Women’s Championship once and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship five times, winning it with Kairi Sane, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss. She is the first woman to win the tag titles with three different partners. She won the Women’s Money in the Bank match in 2020.
After winning the Raw Women’s Championship, she became the third Women’s Triple Crown Champion and the second Women’s Grand Slam Champion. She later became a three-time Raw Women’s Champion, with the title renamed the WWE Women’s Championship during her third reign.
List of Asuka World Championships
Asuka won her first World Championship on the main roster when she became SmackDown Women’s Champion. Before this, she lost several big matches, most notably against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34. These losses hurt the strong image that she had built during her two-year unbeaten run.
Toward the end of 2018, Asuka finally won the SmackDown Women’s Championship in a triple threat Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. During her reign, she successfully defended the title against Naomi, Becky Lynch, and Mandy Rose. After four months as champion, she lost the title to Charlotte Flair so the storyline could build toward the WrestleMania 35 “Winner Takes All” main event.
Asuka’s most famous World Championship win came when she won the Raw Women’s Championship for the first time. Her Money in the Bank victory from the night before was actually for the Raw Women’s Championship, according to Becky Lynch. Asuka was then given the title by Becky, which made this title victory unusual. Asuka defended the title against wrestlers like Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, and Nia Jax. Asuka’s reign was entertaining and unforgettable even though she eventually lost the title to Sasha Banks.
Asuka’s last World Championship win came in 2023 when she won the Raw Women’s Championship for the third time. After being drafted to SmackDown in the 2023 WWE Draft, she returned on the May 12 episode of SmackDown and attacked Bianca Belair with her green mist. This led to a title rematch at Night of Champions, where Asuka defeated Belair to win the Raw Women’s Championship for the third time. This victory ended Belair’s record-setting 420-day title reign. Her reign ended at SummerSlam, where she lost the title to Belair in a triple threat match also involving Flair, finishing her final reign at 70 days.
