Asuka was one of the most respected members of Monday Night RAW’s women’s division. The Empress of Tomorrow was also one of the highlights of the women’s division on RAW throughout the pandemic. Mark Henry also commented on Asuka’s absence.

It was previously reported that Asuka was physically good to wrestle, but WWE wasn’t using her. She called out that report as false because it seems she was legitimately injured.

She has not been seen on WWE television since last year’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view. While speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Mark Henry was asked if WWE has lost faith in Asuka. Henry stated that it is WWE’s fault if they actually lost faith in ASuka.

“If WWE actually did lose faith in Asuka, I definitely think it’s their fault because when she came in she was not the same Asuka that left. The Asuka that left, you know, I would show the Rocky videos of Asuka training. I would show her in the Dojo with the young girls. I would show her working out with the intent of coming back and her looking in the mirror and seeing a video playing of all the success that she had and what she looked like when she had that success. And that’s all you need.”

Asuka is also likely to make her return to WWE television before the end of Spring. It remains to be seen whether The Empress Of Tomorrow will make her in-ring return by the end of Spring or not this year.
