The Empress of Tomorrow may have fallen short at WWE Night of Champions, but Asuka clearly isn’t done—and she just let the world know in classic Asuka fashion.
On June 28, 2025, Jade Cargill cemented her rise to the top by defeating Asuka in the finals of the Queen of the Ring tournament in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Cargill’s victory guarantees her a title shot at SummerSlam and continues her meteoric climb in WWE after jumping from AEW.
While Cargill celebrated, Asuka stayed quiet—until now. On June 29, Asuka took to Twitter with a cryptic message, blending humor and her signature eerie persona:
“Just had a little dream I was walking down the Champs-Élysées. Funny… Paris was screaming my name.”
“J’ai rêvé que je marchais sur les Champs-Élysées. Drôle… tout Paris criait mon nom.”
Alongside the message, she included a haunting photo of herself in full face paint, reminding fans the loss hasn’t shaken her confidence one bit.
The message may be playful on the surface, but longtime fans know better—Asuka rarely speaks without purpose. Whether it’s foreshadowing a major move or simply letting her rivals know she’s still a threat, The Empress doesn’t stay down for long.
