Another talent with nothing to do but sit in catering in CNCT

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Although WWE had planned on having Asuka return to television sometime in February, the promotion hasn't found a way to write her back into storylines.


This is according to PWInsider's Mike Johnson. On Sunday, he commented during a Q&A that "there has been nothing for [Asula] creatively", which may explain why she hasn't re-emerged on programming in February.

It was stated that WWE may be holding off on having Asuka and fellow injured star Bayley show back up until after WrestleMania 38. WWE's biggest show of the year takes place in Dallas, Texas on 2 and 3 April this year.


Asuka has been away from WWE since July 2021, when she took time off to undergo treatment for a shoulder injury as well as going through a dental procedure after losing at least one tooth in a match with Shayna Baszler earlier that year. Two weeks ago, it was reported that WWE hoped to have her back in the ring later in the month. She would need to return on tonight's episode of Raw in order for that to hold true.

Going by what we know now, creative may have to hurriedly throw something together for that to happen.

I can understand Elias cause they wanna change his character up


But Asuka doesn’t even NEED a gimmick


expect her to be PAAGing with Xia by early summer

Bunch of nobody ass writers. No wonder they can't get work in Hollywood.

Honestly I’d rather her off tv if they have no solid plan for her.

All 2021 was women being brought in with nothing to do, then released.

This is so overbooked, you would have to trade one to Raw brand, so they both have a mid-card title, but E don't feature enough women storylines to warrant a mid-card title, and would be useless after awhile like the women's tag titles were.

Naomi turning on Sasha down the road to join Bloodine is a good idea, that everyone including E writers have probably thought about already.

Bayley and Asuka can just do nothing returns versus any of the top featured women rn and it will be poppin, just becase it would be new matchups. A simple "I'm the champion and aint no one left is there?" promo is a layup cue for either of those two to return.

Don't bother putting her on tv for some random feud. It's best to wait until there is something concrete for her. This isnt the first time they've held talent off tv until after WrestleMania

 

[Norrin Radd]

She’ll return to help Xia Li and they’ll have matches with Zelina and Carmella every week for a year because WWE gonna WWE

That's got to be the most defeating feeling in the world. Can't get a job in Hollywood, nor on TV shows or even soap operas, so you have to write for professional wrestling.

Then have all your ideas scrapped or altered into trash by a borderline senile old man and get blamed for it on the internet

 

[CBoz]

I've been saying this. Asuka and Bayley won't return until after WM.

 

[TL15]

Heel Asuka speaking nothing but rabid Japanese is so easy to write….

but she’s so good it would get over and she’d be a face again
