Asuka began her career in Japan, leaving a job in graphic design in 2004 to embark on a whole new path in wrestling. Although she had made appearances in the American Indians since 2011, her decision to leave home in 2015 was complicated. Despite fanfare and constant interest in her NXT run, Asuka was required, family, friends and her daily life back in Japan.
“I know it was the right decision to come to WWE, but it was difficult,” said Asuka, who is 38-year-old Kanako Urai, via a translator. “When I come to the United States, it’s a different way of life. Another language, another wrestling style. Yes, there were many doubts and struggles.
‘Kairi Sane, her friendship was such a great help. Kairi is my first tag tag partner, and I’ve been so sad since she left. I miss her so much. ”
Despite the cravings, Asuka’s fun and strength struggled to carry her through the midst of her most difficult stretches, including during Sane’s departure from WWE. Asuka shared that she always feels at home inside the ring.
“I wrestled for a long time in Japan, and I had done it for so long, I thought I was wrestling,” Asuka said. “WWE had tracked me down, and that was when I decided to come to the United States. I arrived just as the ‘Women’s Revolution’ began, and I think my technique helped. In wrestling, WWE is my biggest challenge and opportunity. ”

“Sasha and Bayley are two great wrestlers. Our styles, the way we think, it’s so very different. In the ring, I think a lot more like Shayna Baszler. Sasha and Bayley are different from me, but they both have an unbelievable fighting spirit. I respect them very much, and I want our matches to start right now as they could. ‘
A tour that has covered the ground from Tokyo to Orlando continues SummerSlam. Asuka tries to put her stamp on the event, bringing excitement, fun and non-stop action to wrestling fans all over the world.
