Up next is the NXT Women’s Championship match between Asuka and Ember Moon. Asuka has successfully completed a full year as the NXT Women’s Champion.
She won the Title on April 1, 2016 at NXT TakeOver: Dallas by defeating Bayley (who’s currently the Raw Women’s Champion).
It should be noted that both Asuka and Ember Moon are undefeated in NXT (never been pinned or submitted). NXT General Manager William Regal gives the new NXT Women’s Title belt to the referee.

Ember Moon was going on the top rope, but Asuka pushed the referee into the ropes and made her fall off the top rope. Asuka then nailed a solid kick to the head to get the win.
