She didnt stop there either. Asuka admitted shes been paying attention to Vaquers rise in NXT. To be honest Ive been quietly checking out @Steph_Vaquer for a while now . Among all the fresh stars, you stood out something about you felt special, like you had a big future ahead (And now? Even more so!)
