Despite her prolonged absence from WWE, Asuka has once again confirmed that her WWE career is far from over.
Indeed, she replied to a fan who was wondering about her future on Twitter and she confirmed that she has not left WWE.
The wrestler states (automatic translation from Japanese):
‘I have not left WWE.’
‘I have not resigned.’
It was following WWE Backlash 2026 in early May that Asuka made the decision to step away from WWE. She told Iyo Sky that she was giving her the chance to shine before leaving with her suitcase.
Subsequently, it emerged that this was a planned hiatus for Asuka, who wished to return to Japan and spend time with family, but the date of her return remained to be determined. Since then, she has stayed in Japan, and it is impossible to know when her return will take place.
The forthcoming information will be watched closely, but whatever happens, the outlook for the future remains positive.
