The risk was worth the reward for Asuka this year at Money in the Bank.

The annual ladder match took place at WWE Headquarters and began with both the men's and women's competitors all starting at different locations on the ground floor.

Nia Jax, Asuka and Lacey Evans were the first to get to the roof. The three women then battled to get to the top of the ladder before Asuka finally made it happen and pulled down the briefcase.

Baron Corbin climbed across from "The Empress of Tomorrow" moments before she got the briefcase, but she knocked him out of her way.

Watch Asuka's celebration below.
