Bianca Belair's glorious reign has come to an end. ## Asuka, the fierce and indomitable warrior, has ascended as the new WWE Raw Women's Champion, triumphing over Bianca Belair in a monumental clash at WWE Night of Champions. While Belair cunningly anticipated Asuka's mystical mist, gracefully evading its initial onslaught, she found herself utterly unprepared for the champion's ingenious contingency plan. ## Asuka, displaying her cunning prowess, unleashed a tempestuous mist of her own, deftly wielding her fingers to gouge into Belair's vulnerable eyes precisely as she attempted to execute her devastating KOD. Seizing the opportune moment, Asuka unleashed a relentless barrage of thunderous head kicks, expertly finding their mark and securing the coveted title. ## This remarkable achievement marks Asuka's triumphant third reign as the WWE Raw Women's Champion, reclaiming her throne with unyielding resolve after a bitter loss in April 2021. Meanwhile, Belair's awe-inspiring reign, a testament to her unrivaled dominance, endured for an astonishing 420 days, etching her name into the annals of modern-day records. Throughout her illustrious tenure, she valiantly defended her title on 13 occasions, leaving a trail of defeated challengers in her wake. ## THE MIST! THE MIST!
