Asuka Confirms Current Status for WWE In-Ring Return

Asuka is keeping herself busy, but it looks like she’s still not ready to step back into the ring just yet. The former WWE Women’s Champion took to Twitter on February 27 to fire off some entertaining tweets, and in the process, confirmed she hasn’t been cleared to return to action.

She kicked things off by joking about the term IWC, which is commonly used to refer to the Internet Wrestling Community. But Asuka, always one to march to the beat of her own drum, had a different take.

“I had never heard of IWC before. Usually, when people say IWC, they mean International Watch Company, right? 😆 Their watches are really cool!”

Fans were immediately puzzled, with one even asking if she had been hacked. That’s when Asuka dropped the real bombshell—she’s still not cleared to wrestle, so she’s making the most of her time by putting on a show on social media instead.

“Since I can’t step into the ring yet, I’m putting on a show in the Twitter ring to entertain everyone. I turn everything into entertainment 🤡,” she wrote.

While WWE has yet to announce an official timetable for Asuka’s return, her latest tweets suggest she’s still on the mend. Asuka isn’t just one of WWE’s most skilled wrestlers—she’s also one of its most unique personalities. Whether she’s in the ring or lighting up Twitter with her signature brand of chaos, she knows how to keep people entertained.

Do you think WWE should hold off on her return until she’s 100% ready, or should they find a way to get her involved in storylines even while she’s recovering? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
