Asuka interrupts Bianca Belair.
Bianca Belair was set for a celebration in her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee on the May 12 episode of WWE SmackDown, but Asuka had other plans.
Bianca was going to celebrate becoming the longest-reigning Women's Champion in the modern era when Asuka immediately interrupted. Asuka offered a handshake to Belair, but instead blew mist in her face.
That's one way to celebrate @BiancaBelairWWE's historic reign... --
