Asuka won the Royal Rumble in 2018 and Money in the Bank in 2020. She has now won inside the unforgiving steel structure to create a unique record in her WWE career.
Asuka briefly teamed up with Natalya to eliminate Liv Morgan from the match. She was the most dominant contender in the six-woman match and maintained the upper hand right from her entry.

Carmella taunted Asuka ahead of the match, but her plan backfired as soon as the latter stepped out of her pod. The Empress of Tomorrow relentlessly chased Mella and drove her into the pod. The match's final moments saw Asuka and The Princess of Staten Island battle it out as the two last remaining superstars.
In the end, Asuka eliminated Carmella to seal her victory. She will now challenge Bianca Belair for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania Hollywood.
