When Will Asuka Return To WWE?

Asuka has been out of action since October 2020, when she suffered a broken collarbone. Here’s an update on when we think she’ll return to WWE.

Introduction

WWE superstar Asuka has been out of action for several months now, and fans are wondering when she’ll be back. The answer is, unfortunately, we don’t know.

Asuka suffered a serious injury in early 2020 that required surgery, and she has been rehabbing since then. She was originally slated to return in late 2020, but her recovery has taken longer than expected. WWE has not given any official update on her status since October 2020, so it’s unclear how much longer she will be out.

This is a disappointing situation for WWE fans, as Asuka is one of the most popular wrestlers in the company. She is a former NXT Women’s Champion and a two-time Raw Women’s Champion, and she was one of the stars of the inaugural women’s WrestleMania main event in 2019. Asuka is also a fan-favorite thanks to her charismatic personality and entertaining matches.

We hope that WWE gives us an update on Asuka’s status soon, and we wish her a speedy recovery.

Asuka’s Injury

Asuka was sidelined in October 2017 with a broken collarbone, which she suffered during a six-woman tag team match that saw her, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch defeat The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan) on an episode of SmackDown Live.

The Japanese superstar underwent successful surgery and was originally expected to be out of action for around four to six months. However, Asuka’s recovery has been slower than anticipated and she is still yet to make her return to WWE television.

According to a report from Wrestling Observer Radio, Asuka is not cleared to return to in-ring action and is instead working on strengthening the muscles around her surgically-repaired collarbone. It is hoped that she will be able to return to WWE programming in the near future.

Asuka’s Recovery

Asuka has been out of action since October, when she suffered a broken collarbone at a WWE live event. She underwent surgery soon after and has been sidelined ever since.

While there is no word on when she will return, Asuka is reportedly already back in the gym and working towards her recovery. She is said to be ahead of schedule and could return to action as early as January.

In the meantime, Asuka has been keeping busy outside of WWE. She recently made an appearance at a Japanese pro wrestling event, where she was involved in a tag team match. She also recently filmed a commercial for a Japanese energy drink.

Asuka’s Return

Asuka is scheduled to make her return to WWE television on the December 31st episode of SmackDown. She has been out of action since early October due to injury.

Conclusion

Asuka has been out of action since October, when she underwent surgery to repair a broken collarbone.

There is no word yet on when Asuka will return to WWE, but she is expected to be sidelined for several months.
