Asuka had jokes on September 30, and nobody was safe—especially not Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY. Following the chaotic events on WWE RAW in Raleigh, Asuka took to Twitter and fired off a savage post aimed at both stars, comparing them to Smurfs.
In her post, Asuka shared a screenshot from the backstage segment where Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY were seen together following IYO’s mist attack. But she didn’t stop there—Asuka photoshopped Smurf hats onto both of them and captioned it:
“Wait, Smurfs ⁉️🤡💦”
The post instantly caught fire online, especially since it followed a RAW segment that left IYO Sky laid out and mist-covered after a betrayal from her own Damage CTRL allies, Asuka and Kairi Sane.
During the segment, Ripley confronted the Damage CTRL trio, accusing them of betrayal. IYO, despite still being part of the group, insisted she wouldn’t fight her teammates—but was quickly proven wrong when Kairi and Asuka ambushed Ripley. IYO rushed back to help, only to get sprayed in the face with Asuka’s mist.
Fans expected some sort of follow-up on social media, but no one predicted Asuka would literally turn the encounter into a Smurf-themed roast.
This isn’t the first time Asuka has used her social media to troll opponents, and with the damage she and Kairi inflicted on RAW, it probably won’t be the last. Asuka clearly isn’t done causing chaos online or in the ring.
What do you think of Asuka’s post? Is she just having fun, or is this part of a bigger message aimed at IYO and Ripley? Sound off in the comments below.
