Asuka was built to be one of the top stars of the female roster of the WWE over the past several years. There was a point when she was undefeated for over a couple of years. She had received many challenges in her WWE career and she’s always ready to get some more. She can even go beyond the women’s division originating the idea of intergender matches.
The former RAW Women’s Champion is ready to take on two Hall of Famers if chances would be provided to her. ET Canada recently spoke to Asuka to have a good conversation about her life and professional wrestling career. She addressed being a role model for the Asian community while also sharing a personal experience of racism in America.

During the interview, Asuka was asked about dream matches as he noted some interesting matches. She would love to wrestle legendary Ric Flair and Triple H. Now, The Nature Boy won’t be allowed to take any more bumps in the ring considering his age, but who knows whether The Game would be interested to be an opponent for her.
“I want to wrestle with Triple H and Ric Flair. I fought many great WWE superstars. Oh, (I want to wrestle) Ronda Rousey. One day!”
Asuka is an inspiration for Asian women
Ronda Rousey could obviously be a good choice to be an opponent for Asuka, setting up a dream match. But Rousey’s recent pregnancy announcement means that she’s not returning to the scene, anytime soon. Any match in her future needs to be ruled out from the context. Rousey may just find her way back to WWE, eventually. But that won’t be happening, at least within nine months.

Asuka already built her name as a huge pro wrestling star in Japan prior to making her way to the USA. Her success in WWE put her on the map, however where she can be considered as an idol. But miles away from her native land, it certainly hasn’t been an easy road for her to travel. She had to work hard to chase success.
Speaking with ET Canada, Asuka wanted to be an inspiration to other aspiring superstars, as well,
“My friends gave me confidence, ‘You can do it, you can do it!’ I called a wrestling company in Tokyo. I left my hometown of Osaka, Japan. Now I am a WWE superstar. Don’t give up on your dream!”
