Asuka aka Kana in WWE NXT

The old rule of thumb here on this blog used to be "When in doubt...post Kana."
But now Kana is Asuka in the WWE and is the NXT Women's Champion.
And true to form she is still pretty much Kana.
So much so that Dave Meltzer (the Wrestling Observer Newsletter) said that she "may be the best worker in WWE, man or woman".
Yep...that's Kana.

Kana to Debut Tonight on NXT as Asuka

Well in just a few short hours Japanese wrestler Kana will show up on WWE NXT as "Asuka".
Asuka means future...so we will see what the future will hold.
The WWE should be commended not only for hiring a female wrestler with over a decade of experience, but also one that is 33 years old and does not fit their usual "Diva" image.

Kana has already left Japanese wrestling, her final match in Japan was at the September 15 KanaProMania: Pulse event.
There she teamed with Hikaru Shida and Syuri in a six-woman tag team main event, defeating Arisa Nakajima, Rina Yamashita and Ryo Mizunami.

I wonder if Asuka is gonna be a heel?

Kana is now Kanna in the WWE

Well on August 22, 2015, Kanako Urai (better known to us as Kana) showed up on TV in the crowd at WWE's NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn event in Brooklyn, New York.
She was with Sgt. Slaughter and Ric Flair and was identified onscreen as "Kanna".
Five days later on August 27, the WWE indeed confirmed that she had signed with them a few weeks earlier.

So is she a Diva or a trainer?
Trainer would be awesome for the Divas and I bet that Kanna could still work matches for other promotions.
I just don't see Kanna as a WWE Diva, considering she could take out 90% of the roster by herself.
