Asuka is the WWE Universe's master of the memes.
She posts them herself on Instagram, a lot of them really, creates them on her YouTube channel, Kanachantv, and even takes special pleasure in acting as over-the-top as possible whenever she's on RAW, SmackDown, or a WWE Pay-Per-View, occasionally in the hopes of recreating on of her favorite memes.
So naturally, when Asuka was afforded a chance to take on her current rival, Becky Lynch, in a No Holds Barred Match as the main event of RAW, she used her entrance to both make an entrance… and a new meme in the process too.
Friends, I give you, JASUKAn Vorhees.

That might just be the best thing WWE has put on television in a very long time.
Now if that was the only gem Asuka delivered onto the WWE Universe during her main event appearance on RAW, it would have been enough; regardless of the outcome of the show, Asuka won the marketing battle even if she lost the match.
… but then, she did it again.
After placing her trashcan over Becky Lynch's head, Asuka flew off the top rope to deliver an avalanche missile dropkick on “Big-Time Beck” and knocked her to the ground while Corey Graves delivered an all-time great line.

“Asuka the Grouch” – I know that was probably pre-written for Graves – I mean, she did come down to the ring with a trashcan – but goodness that doesn't take away from the perfection of the spot: Like Daniel Day-Lewis with a script written by Paul Thomas Anderson, Graves, Asuka, and the writers in the back made a moment that will live on for years to come.
