Asuka took things to a new level of intensity during a hard-hitting match against Sasha Banks on this week's Raw.
The Empress of Tomorrow's WWE stock has never been higher than it is right now.
As well as holding a record which is not blighted by the stain of defeat for her entire 30-month run with the company, she will also forever be remembered as the winner of the first women's Royal Rumble.
With her name embroidered in WWE tapestry, she then set about putting the imprint of her right boot on the face, head and body of Sasha Banks after a tete-a-tete between the pair earlier in the show.
Banks, to her credit, competed well against Asuka, who will soon decide whether to challenge Alexa Bliss or Charlotte Flair for their respective Raw and SmackDown titles.
After a near hour-long spell in the rumble, the Boss had the Japanese megastar in her Banks Statement submission hold on several occasions amid some very heavy fire.
And it did not come heavier than a huge, vicious roundhouse kick which caught Sasha flush on the head as she dived from the ring to the outside.
