During last night’s NXT tapings, Kana made her official debut in a segment with William regal. The segment will air in two weeks. Kana will be known in NXT as Asuka, after Lioness Asuka, one of the most popular and legendary women in Japanese wrestling history.
Here is an image from said tapings:

NXT’s newest female talent must really have impressed someone during those obligatory try-outs, because this is quick.
