Asuka addressed safety concerns through a series of posts on social media, expressing apprehension about unwanted personal approaches from fans. The WWE star revealed her decision to contact law enforcement due to recent incidents that made her feel unsafe.
I absolutely reject any romantic or personal approaches toward me. There is absolutely no possibility for others to interfere in my private life.
Please don’t have romantic feelings for me. It’s meaningless—100% pointless.
I’ve been feeling in danger recently. I’ve already consulted the police. At this rate, even if fans approach me at the airport or in the city, I will feel the possibility that something might happen, and it will scare me, making me unable to respond.
Regarding Asuka’s in-ring status, sources indicate progress toward her WWE return. She has been absent from competition since May when she took a hiatus to address a worsening knee condition, which led to surgery the following month.
Reports from within WWE state that creative discussions for her return have begun, though a proposed tag team match scenario did not move forward.
