Asuka’s recent fears for her safety have not gone unnoticed, and now she’s confirming that WWE and TKO are stepping in to protect her.

On January 31, the former WWE Women’s Champion took to Twitter with an update, writing: “WWE and TKO are taking action to protect me. I appreciate it.”

This comes after Asuka previously revealed she had been feeling unsafe and had even gone to the police for help. In a post earlier this week, she made it clear that she was growing increasingly wary of public interactions, stating:

“I’ve been feeling in danger recently. I’ve already consulted the police. At this rate, even if fans approach me at the airport or in the city, I will feel the possibility that something might happen, and it will scare me, making me unable to respond.”

Though she hasn’t shared details on what led to her concerns, the situation has clearly escalated enough for WWE and its parent company, TKO Group Holdings, to take action. Asuka’s words suggest that safety measures are now being put in place, likely to ensure she can feel secure both online and in public.

This all comes after she recently spoke out against obsessive fan behavior, making it clear that she does not want to be the subject of romantic fixation. Now, it appears her unease has moved beyond social media, with real-life interactions leading her to take serious precautions.

Asuka is still recovering from knee surgery and remains off WWE television, but this latest revelation adds another layer to her time away. With WWE and TKO now involved, it looks like her security is being taken seriously.
