8 Things you didn’t know about Asuka & Kairi Sane - The Kabuki Warriors
Asuka and Kairi Sane made a name for themselves in NXT, and both won the NXT Women’s Championship before transitioning to the main roster.
Asuka had one of the best storylines coming into the main roster, as she carried her impressive undefeated streak with her and only gave up her NXT Championship after an injury. Sane, on the other hand, moved to the main roster soon after winning and losing her NXT Champion at the hands of Shayna Baszler, but still managed to take her following with her while making the jump.
After Asuka achieved some success as a singles competitor on the main roster and even won the SmackDown Women’s Champion in the process, the company decided to pair both Japanese Superstars and turn them into a tag team.
The duo, called The Kabuki Warriors, are now WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, and we could see them become even more successful in the months to come.
