Both Asuka and Shinsuke Nakamura both won their respective Royal Rumble matches Sunday Night. Asuka hails from Osaka Prefecture, Japan while Nakamura hails from Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The Japan-born superstars made history during the Royal Rumble PPV on Sunday Night with Nakamura becoming the first Japanese born superstar to win the Royal Rumble match and Asuka becoming the first ever winner of the Women's Royal Rumble match.
Shinsuke Nakamura made his WWE Smackdown Live debut on April 4th, 2017, the Smackdown Live after WrestleMania XXXIII. He has only battled for the WWE Championship once in his short term in the company. He lost to Jinder Mahal at Summerslam in July and since he hasn't been able to compete for the title since. Following his victory of the Rumble, Nakamura told Renee Young that he'd compete against A.J Styles at Wrestlemania XXXIV which sets up a so-called "dream match" by the fans.
Asuka eliminated Nikki Bella to punch her ticket to WrestleMania and earned her first chance to main-event a PPV. It was the first time Women had a match to themselves and forever, Asuka will be listed in the history books. Asuka made her debut at TLC in December defeating Emma in her first main-roster event and has since defeated everyone in her path. With the victory in the Women's Royal Rumble, Asuka can either face Charlotte Flair or Alexa Bliss at Wrestlemania, it's expected she will face Bliss in the RAW Women's Title Main Event.
With the Royal Rumble coming to an end, the WWE and The Walk-Off Sports Report are now on the Road to WrestleMania. With that being said, we are excited to announce that our WWE coverage will continue this year joining our previously announced sports. Stay tuned for more! (Koelle,2018)
