Asuka will put her Raw Women's Championship on the line against Sasha Banks at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules this Sunday, and if she retains, it looks like her friend and Kabuki Warriors tag-team partner might be next in line.
The Warriors appeared on Raw Talk together last week after failing to win the WWE Women's Tag-Team Championships from Sasha Banks and Bayley in the main event, and the segment was notable for Kairi Sane telling the Empress of Tomorrow that she is "ready for Asuka" should she successfully defend the gold at the PPV. Now, Asuka has confirmed that she wants the match to happen.
Here's what the Raw Women's Champion had to say during an interview with talkSPORT.
“Kairi is very important to me. I have fun teaming up with her very much. She brings out the best in me. We have helped and encouraged each other, so when I am finished with Sasha, I want to face Kairi next! Kairi and I have never faced each other in WWE or in Japan or anywhere else, ever! So that match would be really special.”
Of course, Asuka may not have the the title after this Sunday (although Banks is said to be in line for a major push), but if she does, there's a chance we might see her face Sane at SummerSlam.
