NEWS: WWE's longest reigning current champion, Asuka, was injured during her NXT TakeOver Brooklyn match against Ember Moon.

"During the match, she landed awkwardly from a throw from Ember Moon and was able to complete the match, but had notable pain and discomfort. We performed an initial ultrasound backstage that was highly suspicious of a break that was later confirmed by an X-ray."

The injury may be a blessing in disguise for Asuka and the WWE. Some backstage have been calling for Asuka's move to the main roster for some time; but, she has been kept down at NXT due to her streak and significance to the brand. Asuka's injury may allow for the WWE to take the Title off Asuka while still keeping her strong in a move to the main roster. If that were to occur, it is unlikely that NXT would have a women's tournament with the Mae Young Classic looming; but, Ember Moon would be the likely candidate for the NXT Women's Championship. Asuka tweeted the following:
