Cameo? An injury can be a devastating part of a wrestler’s career as they can derail anyone’s momentum no matter what they are doing. They can come out of nowhere, as you never know how banged up someone might be, which might require them to take time off. That was the situation with a current WWE Superstar, but she made a special appearance while recovering from injury.

Asuka made a surprise appearance at the WWE Live Event in Osaka, Japan earlier this week, appearing with her Damage CTRL stablemates before their match and cutting a promo for the live crowd. This comes as Asuka has been out of action since May due to a knee injury and it is not clear when she will be able to return to the ring. Her most recent match took place at Backlash on May 4.

Opinion: That is a nice treat for the live fans, as Osaka is not only Asuka’s hometown but she would be quite a draw for the show. Even if she can’t get in the ring, having her show up for a quick cameo is better than nothing. It will be great to have her back in the ring one day, but unfortunately that might be a long time off given how badly she seems to have hurt her knee.
