Asuka is this year’s winner of the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
Asuka defeated Nia Jax, Carmella, Shayna Baszler, Dana Brooke and Lacey Evans to win Money in the Bank, fighting throughout WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.

Asuka started off proceedings quickly, with a crazy-looking dive off a balcony onto all the other participants.
After a false finish involving Dana Brooke, a briefcase in a boardroom, Stephanie McMahon via video and a food fight, it eventually came down to Asuka and Nia Jax on the roof of WWE HQ.
With both the men’s and women’s ladder matches taking place simultaneously, the finish saw Asuka throw Baron Corbin off a ladder, unhook the briefcase and win the match.

Asuka can now decide to cash in her briefcase against either Asuka either Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch or SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley.
