WWE’s Asuka is no longer a fan favorite following her heel turn and Kairi Sane’s turn on IYO SKY on the red brand. Meanwhile, The Pirate Princess defended The Empress of Tomorrow’s questionable actions.
After Asuka turned heel on IYO SKY, Kairi Sane picked her over SKY on Monday Night RAW. While The Pirate Princess remained loyal to The Empress of Tomorrow, the women’s Grand Slam Champion has been nothing but rude to the former NXT Women’s Champion.
Recently, Asuka crossed a line with Kairi Sane when she slapped her in a backstage segment. Many wondered why Sane is with the veteran, and the 37-year-old star recently addressed it. The Kabuki Warriors recently appeared in a video on NEITRO V’s YouTube channel.
In the video, the two stars talked about their return match in Japan and addressed their loss against RHIYO, aka Rhea Ripley, and IYO SKY. During this, the multi-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion defended Asuka’s questionable acts and stated, “It’s love, and my sister is only looking out for me.”
“I think people may have different opinions on that depending on their perspective, but this is love! I know, I know a lot about you, my sister… Listen, everyone, my sister doesn’t look scary, but she looks at me the most from a long time ago. My sister looks after me the most and gives me passionate advice,” Sane said. [Translated from Japanese to English]
WWE had a subtle reply to Goldberg’s recent comments about Asuka
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg wasn’t a fan of his streak ending in the Stamford-based promotion. While he vented about it in an interview, he called Asuka ‘some girl’ and indirectly diminished her accomplishments in WWE as one of the biggest female stars.
Instead, the management gave a subtle reply a few days later when they created a video package and celebrated Asuka’s tenth anniversary with the company. The compilation was filled with highlights of her career, and fans and critics believe it was a befitting reply to the Hall of Famer without addressing him or his comments.
