And Still…
Asuka retained her Women’s Champion after surviving the first-ever Last Woman Standing match on tonight’s episode of NXT against challenger Nikki Cross.
Asuka and Cross fought back and forth all over the arena, including a final spot that saw Asuka suplex Cross off of a ladder and through the commentary table. Asuka’s title reign is now over 450 days and counting; she recently passed Trish Stratus’ WWE Women’s Championship reign of 448 days.
