I te Hanuere 28, 2018, i te Royal Rumble, i wikitoria a Asuka i te tukinga Royal Rumble tuatahi a nga waahine, ka uru ki te nama 25 ka whakakore i tana hoa whawhai o mua a Ember Moon me te mutunga a Nikki Bella ki te whiwhi i a ia ano he tukinga toa wahine i WrestleMania 34. I roto i nga marama o Hanuere me Hui-tanguru, i tiimata te riri a Asuka me Nia Jax, nana nei i whakaeke i a ia i mua i mua o ana whakataetae me te hiahia ki tana taitara taitara i Wrestlemania. I hinga a Asuka i a Nia Jax i te Hui-tanguru 25 i te Elimination Chamber me te Maehe 5 i te waahanga o "Raw". I te wa ano, i uru atu ia ki te whakataetae Whakataetae Whakataetae Whakataetae, me The Miz hei hoa hei tautoko i te atawhai Rescue Dogs Rock. Na te wikitoria i a Carmella me Big E, Sasha Banks me Finn Bálor, Alexa Bliss me Braun Strowman me te mutunga o Charlotte Flair me Bobby Roode, i wikitoria ratou i te whakataetae. Whai muri i te whiwhinga a Flair i te Whakataetae Wahine SmackDown ki a Ruby Riott i te Poutu-te-rangi 11 i Fastlane
I werohia e Asuka a Charlotte mo te Toa Wahine o SmackDown i WrestleMania 34. I te huihuinga i te Paenga-whawha 8, i tukuna a Asuka ki a Charlotte, ka mutu tana WWE kaore i hinga i te 914 ra, tata ki te 2 me te hawhe tau.
