Asuka Confirms She Is Still With WWE, Teases Return In The Future

Asuka has responded to the rampant rumors and reports going around about her status with the WWE.

In the blowoff feud match between the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka, and the Genius of the Sky, Iyo Sky. The biggest headline going into that match on that week was Asuka teasing that she was possibly departing or taking some time off from the WWE.

Following the match, she would embrace in a hug with Sky, and the following night, the two made amends and Asuka departed from the arena, being written off TV so she can handle personal matters back home in Japan.

Now, in her most recent vlog, Asuka confirmed the report from Fightful Select and teased that she could pop in when fans least expect it to prepare for her comeback to the WWE.

“It’s already been about two weeks since my last match at Backlash. I know there are a ton of rumors flying around out there… People asking, ‘Are we ever going to see Asuka wrestle again? Is she going back to Japan? Is she leaving WWE?’ The truth is, it was a personal matter — I reached out to WWE and we talked it through. But let’s be clear — as you all know from watching my matches, I can still go. I am still at the top of my game! I’ve been with WWE for over 10 years now, almost like it was just a given. And because it became such a part of your daily routine, I think my presence there just became something everyone took for granted. But remember… nothing lasts forever. Everything is finite. You see, I’m not just a wrestler by trade; I’m a designer, too. Even the way I live my life has to be art. I’m sure you’re all wondering what’s next for me, and how I’ll be involved with TV and the tours moving forward. But don’t forget — I am still officially with WWE. So there’s a chance I might just pop up in front of you when you least expect it! Let’s be honest, no one will ever make the kind of historic impact I made from day one. I don’t think anyone will ever climb to the top non-stop, grabbing every title and accolade along the way — the way I did. And because I’m a true pioneer, there will NEVER be another Asuka! So from here on out, if you ever catch a glimpse of me, you better cherish it. Because it’s going to be rare.” – Asuka on her YouTube Channel.
