WWE Superstar Asuka channels classic horror movie character Jason Voorhees on RAW
WWE Superstar Asuka sported a hockey mask on RAW in reference to Jason Voorhees, an iconic character from the horror movie Friday the 13th.
The feud between Big Time Becks and The Empress of Tomorrow has been going on over the past couple of months. The two women have been at loggerheads post-WrestleMania after the latter returned from a shoulder injury.
On the latest edition of RAW, The Empress of Tomorrow competed against Becky Lynch in a No Holds Barred match. Although Big Time Becks pinned Asuka for the win, the latter has grabbed fans' attention with her entrance.
The Empress of Tomorrow is known for wearing a mask during her entrances. On the red brand, she entered the arena holding a trash can over her shoulder, while also wearing her flowing coat, and a hockey mask. The mask was similar to what Jason Voorhees donned in the classic Friday the 13th movie.
No Holds Barred @WWEAsuka!
