Further reports clarified the situation, and it was noted that the multi-time champion requested time off to address serious personal matters back in Japan. Asuka herself denied the retirement rumors and addressed the situation on her YouTube channel, stating that she was taking time off but was still signed with WWE.

Now, amid all the uncertainty surrounding her WWE future, The Empress of Tomorrow has shared a heartwarming personal update with fans in a new episode of her YouTube channel, KanaChanTV. The former Women’s Champion revealed that she has adopted a new puppy after returning to Japan. She named him ‘Big Body Boss’ as his body was too big compared to his tiny face.

Asuka opens up on her WWE future amid hiatus

The Empress of Tomorrow stated on her KanaChanTV YouTube channel that she was still signed with the Stamford-based promotion.

She addressed the reason for taking time off and said her appearances may be less frequent going forward.

“It’s already been about two weeks since my last match at Backlash. I know there are a ton of rumors flying around out there… People asking, “Are we ever going to see Asuka wrestle again?” “Is she going back to Japan?” “Is she leaving WWE?” The truth is, it was a personal matter, I reached out to WWE, and we talked it through. But let’s be clear, as you all know from watching my matches, I can still GO. I am still at the top of my game!” She continued, “So from here on out, if you ever catch a glimpse of me, you better cherish it. Because it’s going to be rare.”

It will be interesting to see when the 44-year-old will make her return to the ring and what’s next for her.
