Asuka’s Main Roster Future Revealed

Empress of the red. Last week, Asuka officially vacated the NXT Women’s Title with the announcement that she was in negotiations to sign with either “Monday Night Raw” or “Smackdown Live”. The question was which brand she would sign with and it turns out we wouldn’t have to wait long to find out.
