Newly crowned WWE RAW Women’s Champion Asuka made an appearance on today’s episode of WWE’s The Bump where she spoke about a wide range of topics. Here are the highlights:
On jumping off the balcony during Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match:
“I was so determined. I danced on the balcony and made others what I was doing, and right at that moment, I made a dive. Then I saw Shayna coming to get me but right at that second, the elevator doors opened and I made it inside. I’m a genius.”
What her emotions were at the end of the match:
“I climbed up the ladder then King Corbin came too so I gave him a nice kick. The briefcase was so heavy that I had a hard time even holding it but I was so happy. The view that I saw from the top of the ladder was fantastic. I am going to remember that view.”
Becky Lynch’s pregnancy announcement:
“Mother…I am so happy. I had so many matches with her and I have a strong connection with her. I think we both felt the same way. I think she likes to have matches with me. I think she was relieved that I got the Money in the Bank because she knew I could take good care of it.”
Message to WWE women’s division:
“I want to become the element that makes people feel the WWE’s women’s division is something they don’t want to miss. I know that I’ve been that element but as a champion, I want to work on it even harder.”
