There was a lot of talk over the last week of Raw Women’s Champion Asuka possibly missing WrestleMania. She was dealing with a concussion from an errant kick from Shayna Baszler on a recent episode of Raw.
Now, it has been announced that she will be returning to action tonight on Raw. WWE announced earlier today that she and Shayna Baszler will once again go one-on-one tonight. Here is the official preview from WWE.com:
“Raw Women’s Champion Asuka will be out for payback tonight when she returns to the ring for a clash with Shayna Baszler.
Three weeks ago, a brutal kick from The Queen of Spades sent The Empress of Tomorrow’s teeth flying and has kept Asuka out of action since. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Baszler & Nia Jax have long targeted Asuka, but the Raw Women’s Champion seems certain to be fired up for a brawl against The Submission Magician.
Will Asuka battle back against Baszler and make a statement as The Road to WrestleMania continues?”
WWE had been setting up a match for Asuka’s Raw Women’s Championship between her and Charlotte Flair ahead of WrestleMania. Now that she is back, one would assume WWE will continue to further this story.
