Nia Jax and Asuka Finally Go One-on-One
Asuka and Nia Jax are two of my personal favorite wrestlers in the WWE currently, so this match was a dream come true. So far, Asuka has continued her undefeated streak that started in NXT, but Jax is a formidable match for anyone who steps into the ring with her.
It started off with a bang, with Asuka using her powerful kicks to take down Jax, but she was quickly tossed aside, much like a child being done with a toy.
Asuka got Jax into a number of submissions through the match, but Jax always got out of them. Her strength was a good match against Asuka, and it looked like the two finally had a real, challenging match.
But then this happened.

While Jax was able to get back into the ring before the 10 count was up, she was unable to put weight on her knee, thus giving the win to Asuka. While I like that she's continuing her winning streak, this feels like an undeserved — and cheap — win. But if this match is any indication of what's to come, the Royal Rumble match will be intense.
