Asuka To Defend NXT Women’s Title Against Nikki Cross In Last Woman Standing Match

Asuka defends her NXT Women’s Title against Nikki Cross on June 28 in a Last Woman Standing Match!

The WWE has just announced that NXT Women's Champion Asuka will be defending her title against her rival Nikki Cross in a Last Woman Standing match, to be broadcast on the June 28 episode of NXT.

Here is what the WWE wrote on their website:

NXT Women’s Champion Asuka will put her coveted title on the line against the crazed Nikki Cross on the June 28 episode of NXT. The title showdown will be a Last Woman Standing Match, further adding to the uncertainty and chaos surrounding the huge championship contest.

The extreme stipulation was a logical next step in Asuka and Cross’s rivalry after the two brawled throughout Full Sail University on the June 14 episode of NXT. Along with Ruby Riot, they competed in a Triple Threat Elimination Match for the NXT Women’s Title. After Riot had been eliminated, Asuka and Cross fought outside the arena, only to return and eventually crash through a table, leaving them laid out in a heap of carnage.

Here's some footage from the most recent episode of NXT, the last time these two were in the ring together (or outside of it, really):

Unfortunately the match will not air Live; it will be taped at Full Sail next Friday, so if you don't want spoilers, stay off social media that night. Go out and see a movie or something.

But if you do want spoilers, Fightful will have them for you.
