Video of Asuka’s NXT Farewell – Title Reign Ends at 523 Days

Asuka is NXT Women’s Champion no longer. The NXT star gave up the title on tonight’s NXT due to her injury from NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III. Her title reign ends at 523 days in WWE’s recognized lineage, which includes all the days up until Wednesday and not just up to the day of the taping.

During the segment, William Regal noted that he has begun negotiations with Kurt Angle and Daniel Bryan to bring Asuka to the main roster. You can see video and a pic from the NXT segment below, which ended with Triple H coming out to give Asuka roses:
