Asuka has been absent from WWE TV for nearly a year after suffering a major injury at Backlash in France. While The Empress of Tomorrow frequently updates fans on her status and personal life, she recently sparked controversy with a remark advising people not to develop romantic feelings for her. In response, former Women’s Champion Nia Jax weighed in on the situation.
Taking to X, Jax took a playful jab at Asuka, claiming she thought they had something special. Her remark was a lighthearted response to The Empress of Tomorrow’s stance against romantic interest. While The Irresistible Force seemingly aimed to ease the situation with humor, her comment has still generated significant buzz around the Japanese superstar.
Asuka and Jax have been fierce rivals since their days in NXT, carrying their battles onto the main roster with multiple encounters. Jax’s comment served as a glimpse into their bond outside WWE, showcasing their camaraderie beyond the ring. Meanwhile, many fans have questioned the former Women’s Champion about the reason behind her controversial remark, especially during her hiatus.

A few months ago, the former NXT Women’s Champion revealed that she was still undergoing treatment, and her road to recovery has been challenging. With that in mind, the 43-year-old’s wrestling future remains shrouded in uncertainty with the road to WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble on the horizon.
Asuka reveals herself to be overly suspicious after her social media account was hacked

However, the situation runs deeper than just cybersecurity threats. The Empress of Tomorrow recently disclosed that she fears being stalked and feels unsafe making public appearances.
Taking to X, the 43-year-old revealed that she plans to avoid public appearances for the time being, citing concerns for her safety. Asuka expressed feeling uneasy at airports and other public places, fearing that someone might attempt to approach her aggressively. The Japanese superstar also disclosed that she has consulted the police for security and protection amid these distressing circumstances.
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.
Additionally, the former Women’s Champion recently shared her desire to delete her social media accounts due to the suspicious activities surrounding her. This has raised major concerns for both her and her fans moving forward. Such incidents can be dangerous, and it seems Asuka is currently facing a troubling situation.
