1) Why Asuka Hasn’t Been On RAW
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Asuka is currently out of action with a concussion. This comes after she was kicked in the head by Shayna Baszler a few weeks ago.
Here is what Meltzer wrote about Asuka:
Asuka is out with a concussion from the kick by Shayna Baszler. The problem with a concussion is that she could be fine next week or she could not be cleared for a long time and you never know. There’s enough time left that she probably would be back for Mania but that’s not a sure thing. It’s tough because they counted on Ric Flair weekly for Raw through Mania and now Charlotte Flair’s second Mania direction has a chance of also being in jeopardy
My Take:
- I hope that Asuka is able to return soon. If not, they might have to strip her of the belt. Concussions are tricky as she could be out one more week or several months.
