There have been many questions regarding WWE star and former Women’s Champion Asuka following her interaction with IYO SKY after their one-on-one match at last Saturday’s WWE Backlash event. Asuka also appeared on RAW this past Monday, where she embraced SKY and said, “See you later,” before exiting the building.
According to PWInsider.com, there are reports circulating within WWE that Asuka plans to return to Japan for an extended period to address a family matter. The report emphasized that Asuka remains under contract with WWE but will be taking an extended absence. Currently, her decision to step away does not appear to be related to the recent talent releases or pay cuts that some WWE stars are facing.
Additionally, it was noted that Asuka’s former tag team partner, Kairi Sane, was among the talent released last month, despite her significant role in SKY’s storyline with Asuka. Their feud culminated at WWE Backlash, where SKY emerged victorious.
