The Empress of Tomorrow has been absent from WWE programming since WWE Backlash: France last year. She and Kairi Sane, known as The Kabuki Warriors, lost the Women’s Tag Team Championship to Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair at the premium live event.
Asuka was initially scheduled to participate in the Queen of the Ring Tournament later in the year but was pulled due to a knee injury, which has kept her sidelined until now.
