In a video posted on her KanaChanTV YouTube channel, former
WWE Raw and Smackdown Women’s champion Asuka went into more
detail about her absence from WWE following her match
against Iyo Sky at Backlash.
Asuka appeared on Raw the following night to say goodbye to
Sky and walked out of the arena with her luggage.
The Japanese star said that she is aware that there are a
lot of rumors regarding her future and why she has decided
to walk away and wanted to address some of the speculation.
“The truth is, it was a personal matter… I reached out to
WWE and we talked it through,” she said. “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!”
Asuka noted that she’s been in WWE for over 10 years and was
part of everyone’s daily routine at which point her presence
just became something everyone took for granted.
“But remember, nothing lasts forever. Everything is finite.
You see, I’m not just a wrestler by trade, I’m a designer
too. Even the way I live my life has to be art,” she
continued.
She said she’s still officially part of WWE and might pop up
on TV when we all least expect it. She said that no one will
ever make the impact she did from day one and no one will
climb to the top and grab every title as fast as she did.
“So from here on out, if you ever catch a glimpse of me, you
better cherish it,” Asuka said. “Because it’s going to be
rare. That said, my YouTube channel and social media are
staying active to stay connected with you guys!”
