Asuka’s WWE Future Hangs in the Balance After Raw Appearance
After losing to IYO SKY at WWE Backlash, Asuka hugged Sky and then appeared backstage on Raw, with commentator Michael Cole saying her future is “up in the air.” Reports say she’ll take time off not tied to recent cuts—with rumors of a return to Japan for a family matter—though no retirement or exact return date has been confirmed. She signed a long-term WWE extension in 2024, but the specifics and timing of any comeback remain unclear.
