Asuka’s Current WWE Return Status Revealed

Asuka has been sidelined since May after undergoing surgery, but it looks like WWE is already brainstorming ways to bring back the decorated superstar.

While there’s still no official word on when she’ll return to the ring, Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reports that creative plans have been pitched—though not all of them have stuck.

One potential tag team match was on the table but ultimately got shot down, leaving Asuka’s comeback plans still up in the air. As of now, there’s no confirmation that she has resumed training at the WWE Performance Center.

And before speculation gets out of control, Fightful made it clear that there’s been no report of Asuka being in the Royal Rumble—at least not yet. If anything changes, updates will follow.

Asuka’s return is just a matter of time, but the big question is how WWE will bring back The Empress of Tomorrow. Whether she jumps back into the singles division, reunites with an old ally, or shakes things up entirely, fans are eager to see what’s next.

With WrestleMania season in full swing, WWE has every reason to find the perfect way to reintroduce Asuka. The question is: will she return as the Asuka fans know and love, or could we see a whole new side of The Empress of Tomorrow? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
