Boy, this has essentially become a singles match at this point. [Nikki Bella puts Asuka on her shoulders and prepares to throw her out] There's only one task left, and that's to throw your opponent over the top rope, which Nikki's about to do.
Asuka may be eliminated!
There she goes! There she goes!
[Bella takes Asuka over the top rope, but Asuka holds the top rope for dear life] Nikki Bella, with Asuka hanging on to the top rope, out to the apron!
She's still hanging on!
Asuka still barely in this match.
[Asuka stands up. Bella strikes Asuka, but Asuka continues to hold the ropes] OOH!
Nikki Bella again with a strong shot to the face, but Asuka lands on the apron!
I don't know how Asuka's hanging on, but she sure is. At least for now!
Disbelief on the face of Nikki.
[Bella charges at Asuka] Nikki Bella looking to use all of her momentum...
Here comes Nikki!
[Bella runs into Asuka's boot] ...Asuka caught her with a kick!
[Asuka uses her foot to grab Bella by the neck, and then attempts to take Bella over the top rope] Uh-oh. Uh-oh!
And look at Asuka!
What is...
...What?
Asuka trying to eliminate Nikki in one of the most unique ways we've ever seen!
Oh my gosh! [Bella goes over the top rope, but falls to the apron] OH!
Nikki Bella to the apron! [Asuka loses her grip on the top rope and hits the apron] Asuka to the apron!
OH! Asuka almost fell!
Both women teetering on the side of the ring, just feet away from defeat.
[Bella gets up, and Asuka struggles to do the same] High stakes, high pressure! Asuka and Nikki Bella both on the apron. [Bella roundhouses Asuka, who falls back onto the apron] Both of them went over the top rope! Asuka floored! [Asuka kicks Bella's legs out from under her, sending her careening to the floor and winning the Rumble] ASUKA ELIMINATES NIKKI BELLA!
OH! ASUKA DID IT! [applauds Asuka]
ASUKA'S GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA!
Unbelievable!
[As he says this, the camera pans toward Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss and SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair, both sitting across from each other near the announcer's table] I knew it! I called it from the start! There was never any doubt! No one was ready for Asuka!
Asuka is a history-maker! Asuka is going to WrestleMania!
