The WWE superstar revealed that she had been grappling with an injury for quite some time, even going so far as to complete the European tour despite her physical limitations. Expressing her gratitude to Dakota Kai and Kairi Sane for their support, Asuka bid farewell to her fans, promising to return to the ring when she’s fully recovered.
Meanwhile, Tiffany Stratton found herself at the center of a controversy when she posted a fan-made video on her Instagram story, which featured a voiceover that included derogatory language aimed at her opponent, Cargill. The backlash was swift, with fans calling her out on social media, prompting Stratton to delete the video. Although fake news circulated that WWE had canceled her upcoming SmackDown match, the company has continued to advertise her involvement.
Rhea Ripley, currently sidelined due to injury, didn’t hesitate to respond to Buddy Murphy’s jab at an ex-WWE star. When Murphy referenced Ripley, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor taking him out previously, Ripley fired back with a devil horn emoji, making it clear she found the whole ordeal amusing.
