What Was Different About Asuka’s Opponent This Week?

A new face in the crowd. Earlier this year, Asuka won the inaugural Women’s Royal Rumble to earn herself a Women’s Title shot at “Wrestlemania XXXIV”. That means it’s time to build her up with even more wins. WWE has done that for a few weeks now, but the victory this week on “Monday Night Raw” was very unique.

Remember this one?

Asuka vs. Jamie Frost: Raw, March 26, 2018

According to Wrestlinginc.com, Asuka’s opponent this week, Jamie Frost, had never actually wrestled a professional match until last night. She had been trained in the Pittsburgh area and was actually wrestling in her first match when she lost to Asuka. The match consisted of Frost hitting a few forearms and then getting kicked in the head for the pin in 32 seconds.

Here are the full results from this week’s “Raw”.

Opinion: Well….ok then. I mean, it wasn’t exactly much of a match with such a short amount of time and it’s not like anything happened. That being said, it’s really not the best idea to throw someone out there with so little experience when something could go wrong. Why not put in a wrestler with more experience, or even any experience at all? I really don’t get it.

Here’s what Asuka has coming up in less than two weeks.
