Here's the match video of Asuka vs Thea Trinidad from last night's episode of NXT. I am posting all of Asuka's matches for those who don't have the WWE Network. Thea was known as Rosita in TNA. Her former tag team partner Sarah Stock is a trainer at NXT. The match is nothing special except for Asuka's transition from an ankle lock to a German suplex to an armbar for the finish. I don't know of anyone else who can do that kind of transition. It confuses the opponent and the only thing Thea can do is tap out. It was all a preamble to the announcement that Mickie James will be Asuka's opponent at NXT Takeover Toronto. Asuka was very excited. My guess is this is a one shot appearance for Mickie. With a son at home and her singing career, I doubt she would want to work a full time schedule. A lot of fans don't know about this but in 2011, Mickie was booked to work for SMASH in Japan probably to work a program with SMASH's top heel Kana. But Mickie pulled out and Serena Deeb replaced her. This may explain Asuka's excitement. In other news, it has come to my attention that the WWE has made contract offers to STARDOM's Io Shirai and Kairi Hojo after their contracts run out in January. Apparently Io has already given her notice to STARDOM owner Rossy Ogawa. Kairi's status is more complicated because it's my understanding that her STARDOM contract is with her modelling agency. So I'm not sure how that would work. And she has suffered two concussions this year. Maybe she won't pass the physical. I expect to hear more about this in the new year. Enjoy the video!
