A look back at Asuka's incredible NXT career

Few competitors have made such an impact in such a short time in WWE.

Japanese superstar Asuka only spent two years on the company's developmental NXT show but she went undefeated and wore the Women's Championship for a record 523 days.

The Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka, is coming to Monday Nights!

Her most anticipated rival, however, is Sasha Banks, with what will probably be labelled a 'dream match' expected at one of the big four pay-per-views.

How long Asuka can remain undefeated on the main roster is down to WWE bosses but the creative team will face a barrage of criticism if it is given up to lightly.

NXT did a great job of building up Asuka by putting her in some brutal matches but used her sparingly on the weekly show to avoid over-saturation.
