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.

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.

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.
