Asuka Returns On 4/25 WWE Raw To Upstage Becky Lynch
The Empress has returned.
The April 25 episode of Monday Night Raw was supposed to be Becky Lynch’s Big Time return since her loss to Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 38. Becky Lynch was rather forlorn in her return promo, admitting that she hit rock bottom. This revelation seemed to snap her out of her funk as she realized she would be in for a major comeback and just as she said that nobody on the roster would be able to stop her, Asuka was back.

This was the first time Asuka had been back on Raw in several months as she was out with a shoulder injury. Asuka hasn’t wrestled since Money in the Bank 2021, and this was the first time she was in a ring with Becky Lynch since Becky Lynch announced her pregnancy in front of an empty WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, handing the WWE Raw Women’s Championship to Asuka.
Asuka proclaimed that she would stop Becky because “nobody is ready for Asuka.” Asuka was ready for Becky Lynch’s shenanigans as she blocked an incoming shot but was not able to connect with one of her own.
