It’s Alexa Bliss vs. Asuka at Wrestlemania 34.
This was absolutely great. To me, this was the best performance Nia Jax has ever had, to date. She was stellar here in all aspects of her game.
Jax attacked Asuka after the match and dumped her to the floor. Jax sent Asuka into the ring post and then speared her through the barricade into the timekeeper’s table. That looked awesome.
