Various: Kabuki Warriors Name, NXT TakeOver: Toronto, MLW Live Special

Kabuki Warriors

Paige announced on last night’s SmackDown that the tag team of Asuka and Kairi Sane are now known as the “Kabuki Warriors.” She said on Twitter that Asuka and Kairi Sane came up with the name themselves, though they originally wanted to be called “Kabuki Girls.”

You know it was the girls who chose their name right? Well technically they wanted “kabuki girls” but it was changed to kabuki warriors. Chill https://t.co/2p5TAspX9h
