Does anyone else fell the WWE should have kept the U from her name? I read it as A SU KA Yeah I've been wondering why the U is there myself. Anyone with any idea of how the Japanese language works knows that the U is silent. The WWE simply expected people to know this... Edit: I really thought that they were bringing Asuka and Athena in just like they did with Hideo and Finn. With that being said Takeover can go one of two ways. Asuka murders Dana and goes on to rule the division..... Or, Asuka is in the process of murdering Dana and Emma makes the save, they beat Asuka down and Athena debuts to even the odds. Either way crap is going down and Asuka is kicking bitches.

I just have a couple random thoughts: Who's the chick in the background that kinda looks like Matt Hardy's wife? When I first read the title I thought it said Aksana. I was disappointed when it wasn't her. That is deeply confusing and disturbing. Does anyone else fell the WWE should have kept the U from her name? I read it as A SU KA It's a long "u," pronounced like sous-chef. Or kinda like lawsuit.

Damn I wish it was Emma, maybe they are trying to spare her the loss... or maybe she's next.

We all know that Dana is basically going to get the crap kicked out of her and make Asuka look like Godzilla.
Emma doing it wouldn't have done her any favours, but Dana has nothing to lose.

Surprisingly, WWE and William Regal are correct this time. With some exception, syllables ending in 'u' are not stressed in Japanese, so names like Sasuke are pronounced "Sauce-KAY" and not "Sa-SOOK."
Not sure why they wouldn't pick an easier name for Western audiences to read, though. Something like Minami or Reina. Either way she looks badass, gives me a 1990's AJPW vibe. Too bad she has to work with Dana.

I wonder how some think 'Ryusuke' or 'Daisuke' are pronounced then...

People better deal with Dana Brooke being given a prominent spot on NXT. According to what I read recently, the NXT Women's division is going to revolve around Asuka, Bayley, Dana Brooke, and Emma. I don't mind Dana Brooke being given this match instead of Emma. I have no doubt this match is designed to not only give Dana Brooke another experienced name to work with but to improve in the ring.
I am going to pose this question to everybody. If you had to pick between Dana Brooke and Eva Marie, who would you pick? You must pick one.
The more I see Dana Brooke, the more I like her.

Have you not watched nxt? It's not really silent, it's just not a hard U sound. It does change how the S would sound though, and you put just a hint of the U when saying it. I don't know how to show that in text, but if you pay attention, they're definitely not just saying As-ka. Anyway... I loved the segment on Wednesday when Regal show Dana Asuka's training. The way her expression changed was priceless. I think it will be a good match, though not a great one. It'll be a nice debut for Asuka none the less, and then we'll probably see her against Emma at the next taping.

Asuka is going to have to carry the whole match. Emma would have been the better option for match quality. I would of gone with this too, then move up to a watch with Dana Brooke. Seemed pretty logical to me.
