On the September 11 episode of WWE Raw, Nia Jax made her return to WWE as she attacked Raquel Rodriguez and WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley. The move was drawn some criticism, as Jax has been called an “unsafe worker” in the past.
Asuka took to social media and responded to a post that questioned whether WWE’s decision to bring Jax back was the “right move.” She stated that the question was rude and bullying. Asuka wrote that if someone who has not directly been harmed by Jax “denies” her, she will fight for Jax. She also noted that she doesn’t care if she gets criticized for it.
That question is rude and bullying.
You’re hurting her heart with this question. Are you really a person with a heart?
If someone who has not been directly harmed by her denies her, I will fight the society for her.
If I am criticized for it, I don’t care —- https://t.co/2N307IlkPk pic.twitter.com/G0jOkUrNJ3— ASUKA / 明日華 (@WWEAsuka) September 12, 2023
In another post, Asuka responded to a fan who wrote that Kairi Sane got hurt during a match against Jax. Asuka wrote that wrestlers know there is always a possibility of injury. She stated that Kairi doesn’t blame anyone for her injuries, and she is not stupid.
Wrestlers fight knowing that there is a possibility of injury.
Kairi doesn’t blame anyone for her injuries.
She is not stupid.
But are you a victim? https://t.co/KQ5fDcrfuk— ASUKA / 明日華 (@WWEAsuka) September 12, 2023
When one fan noted that Jax has injured “so many people,” Asuka questioned whether they were the victim.
Asuka then wrote that she broke a tooth and tore five tendons in her shoulder, and she has suffered various other injuries, but they weren’t anyone’s fault. She noted that she may have been responsible herself. Asuka wrote that wrestling is a battlefield, and she is a warrior of love.
I broke a tooth and tore five tendons in my shoulder. I also suffered many other injuries, including knees and ankles, but that was no one’s fault.
If anything, it was my own poor defense at the time.
But this is a battlefield.
I am a warrior of love ——– pic.twitter.com/Z2GL6PgyKw— ASUKA / 明日華 (@WWEAsuka) September 13, 2023
